Gaijin knows how many active players have how much resources in their account
It would be easy for them to offer various stuff directly and even non tradeable if wanted, for a high(er) price
But since there is the marketplace where most would need to spend real money, they have no incentive to use that road and opted for the Gambling instead
I see, that’s quite the nice idea. It can be an entry to the market purely from the warbond shop, where you’ll need maybe 45-60 medals.
You mean by the levels in the BP, right?
I don’t see a reason for the crates to disappear if the warbond shop received more vehicles.
So, none of those things have any value to me, right?
Profile pics: have a ton. I would never buy these.
Title: have a ton.
Crew points: already maxed out
Decorations and Decals: since they’re already sold for GE, they’d be reducing GE sales here. But ok, I could certainly see surplus veteran player SL going into decals they don’t have yet.
Stuff from Older Battle Passes: so other than the above, that’s basically vehicles, yeah?
Ok, followup question. Again, I’m just trying to come up with an alternative in my own mind.
What if they had a 20 million SL chest, which always had one vehicle in it (randomized, you wouldn’t know what you got, direct on your account for most, maybe coupons still for some). Would you personally see yourself buying a lot of those? Because that’s the money sink alternative I see, everything else is small change, I think. Open question to anyone. Would that be preferable here?
Such system wouldn’t change anything, at least to me. In total I spent about 50M SL on SL boxes, and I only got one vehicle that I already owned, so it was changed to 1M SL (which is a joke tbh). After that, I decided there is literally no sense to buy these boxes. I prefer to keep SL, just in case it will some day be more useful.
To actually make SL for event vehicles system worth it, they would have to add all event vehicles to a new tab in the shop:
In that tab you would only see event vehicles you don’t own yet. All vehicles would only be account activated (to not allow you to constantly grind SL and just keep selling the rarest vehicles on the marketplace). Event vehicles released within the last year will also be hidden (otherwise it could make more sense to just grind SL instead of grinding events to get the latest event vehicles).
To buy a vehicle there, you would need a vehicle key. Keys could be grouped by vehicle ranks, and you would be able to buy keys with SL (or, if needed, get them from special events etc.). Keys could cost:
Rank 1-2 vehicle key: 5M SL
Rank 3-4 vehicle key: 10M SL
Rank 5-6 vehicle key: 15M SL
Rank 7-8 vehicle key: 20M SL
If there was such system I would definitely spend a lot of SL on vehicle keys. It would be pretty much - the more you play, the more event vehicles you can get (especially with premium account you can’t lose SL nowadays). This is overall a good system, there are a lot of multiplayer games that give you bonuses for playing the game a lot.
PS. To be fair, the system described would have an impact on vehicle prices on the market. Because 20M SL you can buy for about 45k GE, so about 205€. There will be no sense to buy vehicles released more than a year ago for over 205€ on the marketplace. In my opinion, that’s a positive change as well, but I know many players will disagree with me here (especially players who make a fortune on marketplace speculation).
Yes.
I have a question to Gaijin, why isn’t there any average change items in the dragon box. At least you can give stickers more often.
10 boxes and got a Yak-3T…
These boxes blow. For giggles, I bought 3 boxes. And got three orders:
Ooh! Great. I’ll just leave these over here with all of the other orders I never use. Thanks, Gaijin. That was super awesome of you.
Well I am never ever again going to bother with these. I am just unlucky with everything that contains gambling. Last time I bought 1500 boxes in total for 90mil and I got few decals, some orders, boosters, SL and one vehicle, 1.0BR Sd.Kfz.251/10 with 37mm, account locked. For 90mil a 1.0BR vehicle which was some event “free” vehicle, sure it can be fun but I was expecting something more. :)
I’m like 99% sure gaijin has hidden 100+ boxes on my account. I had 300ish than I logged in, and out due to slow inventory. It showed me 100 boxes that I’ve now opened, bu I should have at least another 100-200 boxes. There’s a chance I just gambled them all much quicker than I realized, but I don’t think I’m going insane.
Definitely a scam on gullible fools.
tbh I don’t understand why some of you guys are crying about these. Everyone knows these boxes aren’t good now, it’s your problem if you spend all your sl on this thing where the chances of getting something good is almost 0.
I spend all my SL today and got nothing amazing but it’s my problem I don’t blame Gaijin for this (for once)
you are lucky lol ,
I bought like 300 snowman or even more idk and I never got a vehicle
From first 10 boxes… :D
the market IS inflated. some deflation would be much appreciated.
And we’re seeing it today. Most of the vehicle coupons listed in the news announcement have lost 3/4 or so of their market value since the announcement due to the new coupon supply.
How many boxes did ya buy, not open?
And about the price…nice one !!!
Ok, i foud it!!!
