Paid Lootboxes is the issue here, don't let Ubisoft off the hook

[Razin_Shah]

Just because they dangle a free Elite skin in your face, somehow its all forgiven now. Heck no.

And before people say "cosmetics don't matter, they don't affect gameplay", then to you I say this issue doesn't affect you so your opinion is invalid and ignored.

This is for people who enjoy buying cosmetics. Now they put the new cosmetics in a paid lootbox to get people to spend money on them until they get what they want.

Where is this 125$ price tag comming from? It should only cost 100$ US to get all the packs.

If I remember on Reddit correctly in order to buy all the packs after Year 3 season 1 starts it would cost 125 USD worth of r6 credits to buy all the packs.

I feel like people are worrying too much about that number

They aren't just going to add 6 new items that cost only a dollar. That would be a waste of time

Again why isn't a bad thing if this in addition to the other things? You can still buy the same amount of new skins via renown, the same amount of premium skins via dlc or cash shop. And can still earn skins through alpha packs.

The outbreak skins are limited time only bonus skins available for people who want to pay for them. So why is it a bad thing if its IN ADDITION? It affects nothing about the games current skin economy.

Because it's behind an RNG loot box. You don't seem to get the main point. No one likes loot boxes like this.

Again siege earns money from season passes, people buying the game and it's many editions and the cosmetics already in game. I'd rather pay more and be able to choose.

Tons of people like lootboxes like this
Do you play overwatch?

People keep comparing Ubisoft to EA they are so different EA creates there DLC to enhance your game play to make you better and more dominant than other players but all of Ubisoft is doing is making a limited time packs cost R6 credits but they have cosmetics inside which do not effect the game or make it “unfair” so what is wrong with Ubisoft making these new R6 credits pay to get packs. And if it’s to much for you get a job

It’s a slippery slop. I think they are seeing how much they can get away with.

If you want a specific skin from the pack, but you don't want too spend the money required to get that skin (factoring in random chance and cost of packs (which you should before making the purchase)) THEN YOU DON'T BUY IT. THAT'S HOW CAPITALISM WORKS. This shouldn't be hard.

That's not a solution to putting a loot box in the game. That's like saying there's a problem with the game so you should just ignore it. So it's all of a sudden ok for players to spend 100 dollar for one cosmetic just because they had the option to not buy it?

No. That's like saying there's a problem with the game, so you shouldn't buy it

then you get 4 other cool cosmetics

For who Ying and her shotgun? Something I don't want?

Cool. Don't buy them then

I said this before, but you don't buy lootboxes for one specific skin with the possibility of being ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over
You buy them for a pick at the entire pot. If you buy them and are then salty about that then you are just plain foolish

Not defending it, but would you bring up this same point in regards to TF2 or CS:GO seeing as how they do the exact same thing?

If you enjoy buying cosmetics, than wouldn't this provide you with enjoyment?

Isn't that the whole point of virtual junk like this, that you have a virtual hat that not many others have?

Selling virtual skins for a video game is a market specifically targeted towards suckers. Complain all you want, they know you are still going to buy their virtual hats. As dumb of a business as it is, if this is a problem for you I have no sympathy, it's a luxury.

Problem with this is that CSGO and tf2 both give you the option to buy cosmetics. Yes you can get them through loot boxes but you can trade the items you earn for something better or just buy it off the market place.

Yes but there are plenty of items you can't get and in tf2s case they effect gameplay

It goes back to the key and box system that a lot of mmos have

Let me be more specific. Paid loot boxes I.E. they can't be earned.

So why the hell are they adding them then? Why does it have be a loot box instead of I don't know separate cosmetics.

Can't get? Name some times in tf2 that can't be traded nor bought off the marketplace. Few can be gained outside of those loot boxes.

What do you mean? Because people exist out there that will buy them. I don't understand why you are so confused by this
Just because you aren't the intended audience for a product doesn't mean that product has no value or is trying to swindel you. It's just not for you. End of story

If you have such a moral objection to the basic premise of something, you don't need to engage with it

And trading is the same thing as earning for free in game?
I don't think so. Nobody smart is going to trade something actually worth a few bucks for some basic ♥♥♥♥ weapons or metal. That's when you start to be called a scammer for trying to pedal cheap ♥♥♥♥

Why do the paid lootboxes matter? nobody is making you buy them

And most have an options where you can buy the cosmetics outside of loot boxes or wait later to get them individually. Those few that don't well you already know what I think.

So it's to make more money meaning they are being greedy?
