Blizzard does not sell Loot Boxes in China because it is prohibited to so without showing the odds…
They do this instead:
My point is that the industry will always find a way to do what they need to do in order to profit.
if game says % its not a gamble, so as uknow, some countries allready have it, it cont change nothing here
Cash RNG is the worst
I just want to buy a freaking gear and hat, can’t they just put em for sale as soon as they release it? its just cancer for the in-game economy turning certain gears insanely expensive
But sadly, us, the players are the direct responsible of this, we have the fault to keep supporting this kind of behavior if we just stop buying these loot boxes or gacha, we could hope they could consider to change this.
Stop with the gacha and making your players gamble IMC, this wouldnt net you money, your player population isnt even high to ensure a “player milking in the long run” Spiral Knight did this but at least they got a huge player base frm 2011 which start to die around 2013 and frm 2014 there were just a few Whales buying the RNG boxes to get accesrories, now at this point there barely premium items from boxes in the game due players not buying those shits anymore.
Want to make Money IMC?

Remove gacha, remove costumes from it and exchange medal should be only head accesories, and some off hand gimmicks too its good to be there (like the metal detector)
-
Add costumes again in TP SHOP not only Circle 3 costume, every costumes. the point of having cash shop its to have gear to customize our characters but sadly we cant with our current model.
Everytime you add a costume, add also a pack promo with the costume, both costumes M and F with random hair accesory seems Way more attractive than buying gacha and hope i dont get an HP elixir or a banana peel. -
make your players feel rewarded when they spent, like i buy 200 TP and i spent 100 TP i get a 10 exchange medals so that way im getting exchange medal if i spent certain amount of TP which at some point i can use them to trade them in Exchange shop, in FACT this how exchange shop should work

for god sake remove potions from every DLC, keista green, blue potions, HP condensed SP condensed potions, they simply dont works as an attractive item in DLC. you have the right thing to add an unique thing in the DLC like unique hair accesories or costume its fine as long they can be tradeable on every tab (Player to player, market, storage) add some TP in those DLC instead potions, this at least would make people feel good with the promo because actually have some TP to spent too.

make costumes based on the sets of the game, some equipment in the game have a nice good look which its a shame they dont display on your characters, sets like the bone set, virtov leather set, kaulas leather set, lolo panther leather set have a nice look and its sad they dont have a costume version (in my humble opinion, Royal Guard Costume looks like Grynas set)
-
or even better add to the cash shop a tab called “Costume Maker” which will add the models assets in a new Model to work as costume, every asset would be based on the in game image on every armor equipment in game, also you can add assets from costumes separately in case anyone want to make a bizarre costume. either the price could be a fixed thing (like 180 TP for example) or every asset would have a TP price (like 10-20 TP) and the price would be determined by the type of assed used on the costume maker. the costume made by the Costume maker cant be placed in market neither trade to players but can be transferible in team storage
those are few ideas that could works better than expecting your whalers keep buying gacha to the end of the times.
Gacha would be ok if every item in it had an equal worth (e.g. a cube with only head accessories in it or a cube with only costumes in it) so you buy a random costume instead of gambling on something with a really low worth instead.
The gambling part starts the moment you can actually lose your moneys worth by getting a worthless/useless item you didn’t want to buy.
But yeah, it would be nice if they started to come up with new C3 costumes that would actually bring in money even from players who don’t buy gachas.
Also, Class-specific hair accessories could be great to bring in more money(they don’t have to be Class-locked, but I’d like to see fitting hair accessories to the Class costumes).
Hairstyles could also make money, but male hairstyles aren’t diverse enough to entice people to spend money on them. There are so many NPC-hairstyles which could be used as player-hairstyles,too, without much effort.
They could also implement micro-P2P, like 1 Euro/Dollar subscription fee per month to play the game and use the money to pay a translator and a community manager who actually cares for the community and interacts with us, not dropping some random comments every 100 or 200 posts.
If every item in gacha box pay out exact same Exchange Medals it would not be that bad
But at its current iteration its straight out gambling
For every goddess blessed cube the total return is actually 30. Unless i missed something which you can then point out to me.
So it does have consistent exchange rate, i just still think theyre way overpriced lmao
