misleading sc bundle:7D Booster Bundle with FREE Gift!

[wardomic]

I knew about this for awhile, think i remember a thread about it a few months ago, and a new guild member if mine bought it and asked about it so i think now is a good time to bring it up. The mix mode gem in this bundle is misleading, so is the text you read when you decide whether or not to buy it. I'm not buying it to test it myself but my guild mate did tests and says the bear suit doesn't work. The reason for that is because any items placed into mix mode loses it's effect. Therefore, in order to use the boost bear suit's exp boost you have to wear it outside mix mode, which is dangerous for high levels. I'm just bringing this out into the open, again if it was brought up before oh well can't find that thread or didn't look hard enough.

Also, another misleading thing is the image used for this bundle and part of the description mentions the boost bag, but that isn't in it. Although that is no real problem since the list that tells what's in the bundle doesn't mention it, so anyone who wants to complain about no boost bag tough luck(fell for it myself when i gifted to a friend for her low level aco)

The text reads:

Get the most Experience out of your Weekly grind! Throw on a 100% Exp Boost Book and get double the Experience from killing monsters and turning in Quests. Activate your mixed mode gem, and put on your Bear Boost Helm, Suit, and Bag and get an additional 15% Experience! That's 100% + 5% + 5% + 5% = A WHOLE LOTTA EXP!€ You do the math! Buy this Bundle Now and get a Free Set of Crit Enhancing Boost Goggles!!

Highlighted the key area that's misleading and italized the bag

What do people think about this?

ROFL Wouldn't you know after i make this thread, they remove the bundle in question from the sc store. And in it's place where it was in Toasty's treasures where it was up for all to see they put the pet enhancing bundle.

Edit: I just noticed that this bundle's description also mentions getting boosted exp from quests o.O

Check out this other thread i made. on page 3 Pod says customer service says boosts books and stuff are not supposed to give exp for quests, it's by design.

Edit Edit: I went through the news section and found the post where the boost bundle first came out

According to this there was supposed to be a boost bag in the bundle, but at some point they removed it? Also since they removed the bundle from the cash shop this link allows you to see the exact wording used for the the bundle without relying on my word alone. This bundle's description is misleading for the reasons of the boost bag tha'ts wasn't part of the actual bundle and the mix mode gem that is useless if you are trying to get extra exp through the boost bear suit and helm

yea the gem thing is a lie... it makes it sound like you can wear and use armor and costumes at the same time, but if i wear my armor with like the school girl outfit over it, the school girl outfit does nothing, no bonuses, no def. nothing... so the gem is absolutely useless...

Well the gem is for looks, if you don't like the way you look in your armor you have an option to change it. I think they need to be a lot more clear on that on the item description though. I do know when they had the snowflake quest going though, you could wear the santa suit and hat in mixed mode and still get the flakes.
