Disclaimer first: this hasn’t happened to me personally so it’s not written through disgruntlement.
Question/Suggestion: Wouldn’t it be a better idea if the SL chests that were used only rolled vehicles the player did not already own? (This could also work for decals and decorations in the same system)
So, excluding the top prize, this time the IS-7 which would remain on it’s own, the other vehicles that share the same chance of showing would all be in a box (We would insert as many of these boxes as there are currently vehicles to not effect the overall odds). That box when rolled onto will not include vehicles the players already has ownership of and will use what ever method that is chosen (RNG?) to select a random vehicle from that selection.
The 1mil SL does not go far when you roll a vehicle you already have after sinking way more than that into the chests. You would have just wasted all your SL to roll a vehicle, which is already hard to do, to get something you already had and lose that chance of getting something new and unique to play with, putting you off wanting to do it again in the future and then making the event less popular over time. I know many in the group I manage that wont even take part in this anymore, and by extension the GE ones also.
This could also work to Gaijin’s benefit as it’s likely a number of these vehicles that are in coupon form would hit the market where people would be spending money to get hold of them. As we know not all vehicles are market vehicles so the market prices wouldn’t be massively affected, but likely balanced off by more stock and more sales taking place.
Let me know what you think below.
- Yes
- No
EDIT What I hope to achieve is to get a fairer delivery system for those that have been playing the game the longest, spent the most time, and the most money on the game.
The current system benefits the newer player as they will likely not have any of the vehicles rolled, but the veteran loses out and only gets 1mil SL in return. A fairer system would allow all who roll a vehicle box to get something in return for their trade.
EDIT2 It has been pointed out to me that I did not word this how I meant to. I meant to mention there would be as many boxes as there are currently available vehicles in the chest to not mess with the overall odds. Added insert in (brackets).
