Is this going to lead to as many "cancelled preorders" and "steam sale" purchases as the pre-release FOB thread?

FOBs are terrible anyway. I'm assuming it will be largely abandoned once MGO is out.

Am I missing something here? This is just an optional add that didn't exist before and won't affect the balance of the game much.

This pay to win shit most definitely affects gameplay balance. The game is grindy as fuck for a reason.

They want you to buy an insurance for virtual things in a game they made even possible to be robbed in the first place. It's an insult.

Can you not turn off the ability for others to invade your FOB?

You can just staff it with terrible people and not build any extra platforms and etc. People can still invade though. If they're successful I think you can lose some people not on the FOB staff.

Loading your FOBs with high level staff makes those people more easily available to steal but it also makes invading FOBs extremely hard. The theft of unprocessed materials is irrelevant.

And this is why FOB is mandatory (unless you use a trick), who would pay for this insurance if they can easily avoid it?

How much MB coins is it? 50? 100? 1000? And for what period of time? Disgusting nonetheless
I can finally spend my MB coins!

Here's how FOB options should look like:

Do you want to participate in online invasions: Yes/No

Instead they make it a mandatory part of the game to sell insurance to people who are worried about it.

How can you not see something wrong with that

Are you crazy? That's a horrinle idea, I robbed these people blind. when they make it to the goal the invaders take 10 people from your entire pool. the guards are extra.
