How do you deal with shop FOMO?

Hey everyone, just wondering for those of you who have recently bought from the shop and thus missed out on previous months packs - how do you deal with the FOMO of not acquiring the previous months packs? Do you really mind? Do you regret not buying sooner? Do you expect to buy a new pack monthly if you have only just bought a pack recently?
Just curious as I am currently dealing with a little FOMO myself! I regret not buying earlier but have not had the funds to do so. Also I know it's purely cosmetic, but I myself am a huge fan of changing the ways things look etc so it's just something I have been thinking about!

I have to agree with this.
The way I deal with FOMO is to just not have it.
It's not necessarily that I care strongly I just really like the work the team at intrepid as done and regret I couldn't get that work to have on my character ingame as well! But I definitely like this outlook - sort of a take on 'the powers that be'.
But, I'm hoping I can find something similar in-game.
Look forward instead of backward. The team at Intrepid will continue to produce solid cosmetics for a long time to come. If you like the sort of thing they've done, you'll like the sort of thing they will do. Your chance will come around.
But then I fear missing out on my money for at least a year until the Betas actually arrive.
Yeah this is how I am feeling currently! I will definitely be looking at getting their future packs!
What's the referral you're referencing?
Yeah I am definitely happy that those who backed long ago did as without them we may not have gotten to the point we are at now! So I thank you for that! I am sure it will release!
Sorry for you loss hope everything is as good as they can be
When it comes to Freehold cosmetics I'm even less worried since one per account means having multiples seems very redundant.
I waited for a pack I was somewhat interested in so that it seemed better value in showing support for the project.
Ultimately the FOMO side of things I don't have any issues. For marketing and funding I can understand it and respect it.
To each their own but until the release I strongly view the FOMO cosmetics as a support avenue rather than getting value myself.
Yeah I like that outlook a lot, it's definitely a way of supporting the ongoing development and the team more so than it is a form of content as it doesn't actually provide content that differs from anyone else, purely cosmetic and therefor a preference thing.
I just wanted to see peoples outlooks as whenever something is timed - it can cause that kind of feeling is all, thanks a lot for the awesome response!

If someone uses your referral code when they first Pledge, you get 15% of the value of their Pledge as "Intrepid Bucks," which can be used for subscription fees or cosmetics (via Embers). That's why I'd pledge Beta 2 sooner rather than later.
In practice, referrals reward content creators, but I am trying to recruit an e-Sports Team, and if they Alpha 2, I will too.
Ideally, "The Boys" will protect me while I navigate the economy and politics for them.
Since I can't use AoC skins as an investment because they'll be tied to my accounts, I simply don't even look at the cool skins they sell because I won't be able to re-sell (for embers, not even real money).
