So, the official forums are currently 40+ pages deep in "spirited discussion" of this announcement, specifically the new Party Pack. The current announcement lists it as retailing at $7.99. Currently confirmed from the trailer are about 8 emotes, though no official word seems to have confirmed this as the pack's entire contents. No temp powers or costume pieces have been displayed.
The current mood on the official forums appears to be "meh" leaning towards "WTF?! Are you joking?" At least one user has outright said that this is the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to microtransactions and that she's canceling her subscription, goodbye, if I hear from you, it's too soon.
A significant group are rather annoyed with this because they feel that this is somehow content that should have been included in either i18 or Going Rogue, and think that the "nickle and dime" approach is going to slowly wear down what's actually given to the players in issues for free, with boosters and such taking over all the new content so they can charge separately.
Me, I'm gonna pass on it, but I imagine just given the overwhelmingly negative feedback the announcement has gotten, this is unlikely to become a regular thing. And I've overall been pleased with the Boosters, even if I think a few things aren't as flexible(gender locked Magic pack pieces) as they could be. NCSoft has given me the opportunity to buy something I don't want to buy and don't have to buy. Clearly, they should be burned at the stake.
