spend 900 gold once, get 1000 back, use 900 of that on the next month and so on.
with a “profit” of 100 gold, you end up with 300 gold after 3 months, compared to the old system where you’d only end up with an extra 100

Thats an illusion. You have to be pretty thrifty to save that gold for next Battle pass. The majority wont save it and spend on millions of micro transaction by the end of the BP. Creating fomo on GO is a low tactic plus i am still yet to see what was the strategic decision to shorten BP. Cause if i remember i didn’t see any request on the forum. Its a gajin decision and would like to understand them…but its hard…

Also the BP is shorter but you pay the same…

you call it thrifty, where I’d counter and say you just have no self control.
personally i see the change to increase player retention and to keep players playing more often, which if it is the case and has the desired effect then the servers will be more populated with less bot games
Stop gaslighting, this is not an improvement.

As a wallet warrior I get 12GO weapons in 3 months vs 3 in current system.
I call getting 4x more GO weapons a general improvement. I understand lack of selection is annoying to some.
But to say that getting 4x more stuff is a money grab… U need an economics 001 class

f2p players are mostly affected by this. in one season they currently earn ~1 weapon order from BP with 2-3 from events and they have chance of GO from daily login box and they can choose GO weapons from last 7-8+ BP seasons. in new system they will remove GO from events and login box and f2p will earn ~3 BP weapons in same time which will mostly be shit.
if you have most GO weapons and have BP, then new BP is direct upgrade.
100%
So thing is this really pushes the player to get the battle pass; and severely rewards them for playing somewhat regularly and to not waste the actual gold but let it recycle / grow as they complete the monthly BP.
You can see it as a massive upgrade for personal development (restraint from wasting the gold & letting it accumulate) or yet another system designed to reward spenders/.
I see it as the game economists desire to focus playerbase on somewhat regular grinding & reward ppl who stay in game; & yes regular players will mostly benefit, but thats kinda the point.
U cant fault game for developing system that rewards players for regularly playing; I think most players like the optionality of the GO and are sad to see it go.

and remember, the new battlepass its just 1 month
I hate the GO going away
But how on earth is it a money grab?
They literally tripled your gold coins income?
well this is massive thing specially if you dont have 4x of all good weapons from previous BP seasons. even players with BP who have not played long are somewhat screwed by this decision cause they wont be able to get good old GO weapons.
with ~10 months of playing even f2p player can get BP in new system. for me this is great change, but removing of GO and BP store is not.

TBH I’m somewhat ambivalent
As I’ve said - I hate one off weapons. On the other hand, just handing out a weapon for each faction might make people more inclined to try other factions? I kinda hope you’ll be able to accumulate more copies as time goes by (firstly, to avoid cluttering the game with progressively obscure and paper designs and to let people get older ones perhaps?)
Ideally you’d be able to someday get enough to fully outfit a squad for example?
What “money grab” ? 
If it gives a player a 100 
profit.

The strategy was to test and see if people will buy a shorten BP with no real benefit to them. They tested it with the Halloween Event, and it passed with flying colors. Now we have shortened BP with more FOMO then ever and people will buy it and everything else because FOMO and “Power Creep”.
But how many players will hold on to that “100 gold profit” when they start shelling out “Fancy new weapons” that can only be gotten for a short time and they can only be bought with gold. I’ll say maybe 10-15% of the community everyone else will get spend that profit and then some to get those “Fancy new things”.

Please tell me you aren’t spending gold on random items and level ups.
I think they just don’t want to update anymore. They are tired of having to rack their brains to come up with a few new season weapons to perfunctorily deal with players every time they release the pass. So they took the gold card out of the pass and used it as a reward for future activities. Hahahaha
Just don’t forget one thing : it’s a free to play game. And they need to make money . So they are looking for the better way to make money and to give fun to players at the same times.
If they didn’t make enought money, they will stop to add new content on Enlis and work for another game (WT or new game).
Usually you can get about 4 to 6 weapon gold cards in half a year
You can choose any (really needed weapon)
In the new version, novices and free players will have to work for the first 8 months and can only obtain a small number of weapons.
The most important point
It is almost impossible for the official to sell equipment with excellent performance under the circumstances [paying players can obtain it in large quantities but it is difficult for free and paying players to obtain it]
This means that most players just get a lot of garbage in 1 year (such as wire PPS)
You will also find that the previous gold card converted into gold coins has a greater proportion of gold coins saved than the new version in 12 months.
