The game runs on money....

They remove the AWM-Camo so more people buy the new AWM ZP crate.

Basically so they can make more from AWM LM/RD, so they think.

Many people brought ZP primarily for coupons as the chance of winning a ZP gun is very small, adding in a bunch of temp items to the coupon exchange will deter many people from even wasting money on ZP.

So basically I assume they believe it will make them more money but the truth is that it won't, many bad decisions are being taken to try to milk the profits but all I can see is the opposite happening.

It's the same with 30 ribbons, dogtag rewards etc (less and less people will participate) and the sad thing is these items cost Z8 nothing, but it will cost them lost revenue and customers for the bad decisions they are making.

Everyone loses.

Your thinking is right. We all agree with ya! Z8 better think of what they are doing carefully or they will lose more customers rather than making more profit.

I'm dissappointed too. I only needed a couple of more coupons to get it, but too late now... And the AWM gold isn't even better, actualli Camo has a faster reload, so I have no idea what I am going to buy instead now. No matter what, I am never going to spend money on zp after this.

Q : Why do they start removing the permanent weapons ?

A : Because PERM = CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY = SINCE YOU HAVE ALL THE PERM GUNS YOU WANT, YOU'LL STOP DONATING FOR GUNS ( LIKE ME ) AND THIS IS A HUGE - FOR THE COMPANY BECAUSE THEY LOSE MONEY

And TEMP = MORE MONEY

That's why

I would buy crates with the slight chance of winning if I would get something half decent eventually but I would not buy ZP to get nothing and nothing and that is what temp stuff is precisely.

Also it's a matter of principle - That being I don't give money away free:p

I think in all the time I've been here i brought one temp item and that was AWM Camo on a alt for BP.

Only temp weapon I bought was the Axe for 90 days to try it out.
Why use temp weapons? To try out a weapon that you will want permanently.
For this to work the temp needs to be cheap enough to try and have a perm version one can get. The Temp coupon weapons now have no perm versions and are over priced.

Coupons were the main reason to buy ZP crates and the small chance to win ZP gun the reason to buy what type of crate. Remove Perm Coupon weapons and people that don't get anything for their $20 worth of ZP stop buying because they see it isn't worth it. With Perm weapons people are more likely to spend more because they can save up for something guaranteed.

20,000 ZP equals about 8-12 coupons, 24,000-72,000GP, and a few temp ZP items average.

Old perm weapons:
They'd see they're only 1/5th away from a ZP perm gun and will more likely buy ZP 4-5 times to get a perm ZP coupon gun. And might win a ZP crate gun in the process.
Z8 gets $100-$120 from these customers each.

New temp weapons:
They'd see that there is nothing perm from coupons, they'd most likely didn't win the ZP crate gun, and they only have enough GP for 1-2 GP guns. They'd most likely not buy any more ZP because it doesn't appear worth it.
Z8 gets $20 from these customers each.

The thing is ,we can get M4 ADV for 90 days for only 25 coupons back then,
And MP5 ADV 90 days for only 10 coupons
Axe 90 days for only 15 coupons
Now?
Mp7 A1 90 days for 70 coupons?
M16 for 90 days for 70 coupons?
And a stupid wrench that no one use for damn 60 coupons?
That's a HUGE RIP OFF

Temp weps ARE lame, though.

I know the feeling, I feel so accomplished for having a Perm AWM Camo and PSG RD, but no Mauser

I should have gotten the M4 Crystal when I had the chance

OT: They removed the AWM Camo for these following reason, I presume
1. More Variety in Coupon Exchange
2. More people buying the new AWM LM ZP Crate instead
3. I dunno

yes it's disappointing
