I like the idea of a alternative to the jump pack mainly because of the jump packs inconsistency. Though the way the jump pack allows players to fall at both a normal rate and a feathered rate is something I prefer over other jump height modifications such as lowered gravity. The height of the current jump pack I think is perfect over all and personally would not like to see that changed.
"Specifically, I will be talking about the expense of the jump pack in the pointshop in contrast to a cheaper option/a global jump boost. The jump pack, the last time I saw it, costed 100,000 points, and I'm assuming it's the same price today. It's no small expense for a newer player, and has always taken at least 15 hours of competent gameplay without buying anything else to get it."
Personally I don't think the price is much of a problem. Being able to bet 10k each round, all a player needs is 1 or 2 hunter maps in order to get all the points they need. Of course they need some understanding of the game to know when and who to bet on, but if the player does not have this understanding it is likely that they are newer to the game and would not be able to find the spots that require the jump pack anyway. Though me saying that they wont be able to find the spot is also not a fair reason to limit the jump pack.
