Just rank up the normal way, who cares if someone wants to pay to get it quicker, it's more fun ranking up normal anyway, it's not as if the last weapons you get are any better then earlier weapons they are just different. if you don't play the multiplayer then you are missing out on one of the best games ever released, i can assure you letting people buy weapons bundles will not spoil the game at all, at least they waited 6 months before they did it and let most players get all ranks anyway, using weapons is'nt the only way you rank up in this game, healing teammates, passing out ammo, taking objectives are all different ways to get points on the board, just read the many posts from people who love this game in the BF3 forum before you start slagging it off.
