I already owned some items in the Plunder Pass, and as such I got nothing for the rewards in the pass that would have normally given me the item I already bought...

    So first off, let me say that I love the pass system, its great that you guys implemented something like this. I like having something to work towards. But I do have an issue with one of the mechanics in the pass as it stands right now:

    I had bought the crab dab emote before the pass had come out, and when I got to the tier in the pass that normally would award the emote, since I already had it, I got nothing.

    Now I don't mean to complain, but I think there really should be an alternative you get if you already own an item from the pass, either be it Ancient Coins or something else to that extent. It just feels like I am being ripped off a little when I already have shown support and purchased something in the game. I don't think it needs to be a crazy amount of coins, ideally you should just give the value of the item in coins, since that's what it costs to purchase that item, but I can understand how that could add up to a lot of coins, so something like 100 or 200 coins depending on the item could also suffice. Just something to recognize that you already showed your support to the developers and purchased the item already.

    Now, and maybe I just didn't understand the video, but I thought the video had said that all the Plunder Pass items were supposed to be new and never released in the Emporium, and the pass was a sort of "early access" to items that would be later put in the shop after the Season ended. If that is the case, then I wonder what happened with this pass? Was this something that just slipped through the cracks? Will the next pass actually be like that? If so, then the problem is solved. But for the present moment, the items in the pass weren't, I had already bought one, and now I am sorta left empty handed with this one level here in the pass.

    I hope you understand, and that my intention isn't to be greedy, just want to make sure that at the end of the day both you guys and your customers are happy and see eye to eye. Remember, it doesn't have to be much, I just think there should be alternative compensation if a player happens to own an item that is also in the pass.

    it does suck a bit, but they did advertise everything you'd get before you bought the pass. it'd be really bad if it was a blind purchase and then you discover you already have it all when you finally unlock things.

    i guess you have to weigh the cost against what you'll actually get out of it. personally i thought it'd be a bit of a risk if i got it and didn't hit 100 renown (although it looks like i'll be hitting that before the season ends as i'm already 80+), then you paid for it but didn't get everything out.

    everything in there is either in the emporium or will be in the emporium soon. for me the better deal is to pick the couple of items i want instead of getting the whole plunder pass. i really want that casual lean emote!

    but i do agree - it'd be much nicer if the entire pass was made of new items, not stuff that's been in the emporium for a while and some people already have some of it. like, on day 1 of the season, release half of it to the emporium and keep half to release after the season, but don't recycle stuff that's already there.

    Remember this.
    Season "One" is a testing zone. Mainly built for new players and middle players who have little to nothing. Get you into the season and show off its functions, which is to say just play and get rewards for playing your own session.

    So you earning rewards you already own, oh well. This only season one. Not to expect to be given super new stuff

    I dont really see the value in the plunderpass.

    Lots of the cosmetics is stuff i wouldnt wear or use.

    If they have anything in blue then maybe ill be interested.

    Btw do u gotta actually hit the milestones to unlock the items?

    Yeah, I think this is reasonable feedback and something they should keep in mind (and possibly should have tackled before releasing it). Not that it is necessarily a COMPLAINT - just that it is feedback that demonstrates how the plunder pass could be more appealing. Of course, I have no idea how feasible optional rewards would be to implement, so I wouldn't count on it.

    I don't mind how it currently is for Season One, and you also can look and see what the rewards are before purchasing the Pass, so, that is always best to do before making purchases. However, when I looked at the Plunder Pass rewards, and did the math, the items I would have chosen to purchase individually (that I did not already own) did not come close to a $10 value. That's just my case (and possibly yours), but it is an interesting bit of feedback for the team to consider.
    I do love that it is not egregiously on the side of tempting customers to purchase the Pass, but I also think they could somehow make it more worthwhile - namely in the rewards being more versatile in some way - because, as you said, if you already own a good amount of them, the returning value of the Pass's rewards really shrinks.

    Still, a reminder to everyone - look into what you're purchasing before you purchase it! :)

    I agree!

    If we already owned some of the items due to purchasing them prior, we should be rewarded with maybe the price in the ancient coin back of doubloon price or something.

    It’s kind of a kick back that is for owning something for a long time and then offering it there.
