Not that I'm against it, but it just kind of cheapens the fun of finding new loot and leveling up and seeing what sort of new rewards I have.

None of the skins interest me.

8 bucks worth.

I decided I'm not going to buy them anymore though, I thought they'd always have like a cool skin, but nope. I got shitty sprays and voice lines and one shitty recolor skin. Also, got like 3 duplicate items, which I got like 5 coins each for.

0, the price for boxes is way too high for me to consider getting any. I don't know what's up with blizzard fans, or if everyone's like this, but the sheer number of people I see talking about buying 50+ boxes is insane. That's literally the cost of the game and all you get from it is some cosmetics. The sad thing is this really shows how microtransactions are literally never going to leave gaming, they're simply way too profitable to not include. I bet they'll make more off boxes than off people buying the game.
>>
>>338818162
Yes, they're greedy, but on this occasion it's the consumers' fault.

When was the last time you bought a shitty microtransactions item

Do you regret it......still?
>>
>>338818162
Honestly if they knew what they were doing they would have limited the amount of drops you get over a period of time like TF2 did, and make it so every few levels you got a guaranteed one.

They used to know how to do this properly and fully milk it out but I assume the people making that possible made enough to leave and do that elsewhere or even on their own.

>inb4 earn it
You get around 1 lgenedayr per 20 levels, and over 50 levels I never got enough gold to craft a legendary I wanted. At 1 legendary every 20 or so levels, the chances of getting what you want are extremely low. What sucks is this is Hearthstones system BUT ACTUALLY FUCKING WORSE because you can't even disenchant crap you don't want. Of course if you could it'd be terrible returns like 100 gold for a legendary and shit

According to someone calculations, you will require 800+ loot crates to have every single items, and that's having every duplicates as common/white/5credits.

So, i did some calculation,
since experiences required to level maxed out at 22k, it takes about 10 rounds for each level.
And let's say it takes 15 minutes for each rounds, we will need a total of....
2000 hours to get 800 loot crates.

If you are willing to buy the crates with cash,
and for $40, you can get 50 crates.
You will need 16 x $40 = $640 to get every skins.

So, judge yourself which one worth more to you?
2000 hours?
$640?
Also, it's $640/2000hrs = $0.32 / hrs

No shit, that is the point of all microtransaction systems. You make it POSSIBLE to earn shit for free but unvable. That way, you can defend yourself when everyone points out your greed, while at the same time ensuring people have to give you money if they want shit.

Honest question: We pretend your post is actually accurate and every single person deriding Overwatch's cancer turns around and indulges in CS:GO's cancer. What then? Does this make you feel justified? Do you feel Blizz is somehow not entirely comprised of greedy fucking kikes now?

Friend and I bought 5 since we like to test our shitty luck and cry about shitty pulls

I don't see a reason to buy them, you don't even see your character much and you can just buy whatever skin you want with in game money. If you unlock everything right away you have nothing to look forward to from the loot crates.

Yea, but in Heartstone opening packs could give you an edge, it almost always did.

A MASSIVE amount of /v/ defends this.

I personally don't like the idea of putting the boxes up so people can buy it. But i also don't really care since its just cosmetics.

The loot for me feels like progression and i wouldn't buy boxes. I haven't bought any HS packs for money but i still have fun.

I know HS packs is not really the same thing since its cards that you need to play with to be good but it was just an example.

I got all the champs in league and only bought a couple on sale when I started out. Now I sit on 80k+ ip between champ releases.

I remember seeing somewhere that it takes a shit ton of time to do that too. If I like the game enough the rewards are icing and not the objective. If you play the game to collect skins you're doing it wrong but honestly if thats how you have fun who am I to stop you.

just zoom out for a bit. look at the bigger picture here. what else could you be doing? how else could you be making me view what you're doing? if you were sacrificing puppies every month instead I'd respect you more for getting actual blood on your hands before death grabs you. if you were corrupting the youth with seditious talk I would respect you more for your bravery. if you spent all your money on the latest in mime-cosmetics and worked up a real good act involving floating balloons that were made to seem as though they weighed tons I would love you for your panache and you vivacious spirit. but instead you click next until you find just the right mini jacket for your indian mech-fu so you can get a good fap in before you go to sleep

Don't get me wrong I paid more than $300 for an online game before, and I do enjoy overwatch.

I never intended on buying a single one. The loot doesn't fucking do anything. I'll never fucking understand it.

The only time I buy this sort of thing is when I have a weird amount of money in my digital wallet that isn't good for anything else. Like when I have $1.75 or some shit left on my PSN account I'll get avatars and themes which I would never actually, intentionally add funds to purchase.

You wish. Duplicates are like 5 for a common, 15 for a rare. If you get a duplicate you basically got fucked out of one of your drops.

I've spent near $400 CAD, working on getting every skin. 82 skins so far, 23k coins. I'm saving the coins too, for future skins. Taking a shit at the moment. When I get back I'm uploading another prepaid Visa onto my PS4 , the limit is 300 a day, so I've had to go to 7-11 to buy some prepaid. I see no harm in what I'm doing and hopefully my spending cancels out the people who don't spend. Ultimately I'm supporting overwatch for future dlc.

Duplicate legendaries are 200 coins. And there is a Legendary coin stash that is 500 coins, basically 1/2 of any of the most expensive thing.

Did you not read the second line of my post? But, if you ask me, getting the coin drop is kind of neat since you can just get 'the skin you want' quicker and don't have to play roulette.
>>
As stated before, I'm not opposed to spending a few dollars on cosmetic items, if I can purchase the item I want, or a currency that can be used to purchase it. However, this system turns everything to mere chance; there's a chance you'll get the item you want, or currency, and with so many items, it'll be a long time before you start to acrue a decent sum of coins.


That being said, it's only cosmetic items, the game itself is still excellent.

You obviously didn't read the post.

You see they could've designed the game so that if you played character X you unlock skins and shit for said character.

Instead they chose to design it so you get completely random drops from all characters, including
>avatars, sprays, voice lines, recolors, taunts, poses, etc.
Meaning the chance for you to get someone you want to be incredibly slim. Especially when duplicates are a factor and said duplicates give you almost no coins (the stuff you can actually buy the stuff you want with).
This was intentionally designed this way to incentivise people to purchase said loot chests.

The entire loot system was intentionally designed to screw the players over. This was done is a FULL PRICE GAME. Not a F2P one.

You're literally defending Blizzard screwing over the players here. You care more about Blizzard than the actual game itself.

What an issue though, I mean because you are totally being forced, as an individual, to spend money.

Oh wait. It's an option. You're asspained over an option to get something, that you are not forced to pay for, that is actually free and obtained by fucking playing the game.

Here, now you're going to start the whole I'm an old gamer from way back in the day. You're probably in your fucking 20's like I am, just shut the fuck up.

Sorry Edgy, I just don't agree with anything you say.

Cosmetics are completely optional with no impact on the game and are something to work towards with the coin system. We've seen it in tons of other games like DotA, TF2, and LoL and no one really has problems there.
