@chogath_player This may sound really scummy, but hear me out here I think it would have worked: I think Popcap should've done a collection system instead of a lootbox system for BFN. You directly purchase the item you want. For example, you want a particular Citron Hat. You find it's in 1 of 3 Citron Collections. The Hat is 200k coins or something (notice it costs more than 30k, this prolongs the lifespan). If you obtain all items in the collection you get the Completion Reward: a Citron Costume. When the game launches every character only has 1 Collection but every week or two a new Collection releases. Considering new characters, this actually works for a couple of years as opposed to a few months. If Popcap wanted to, they could lock the Super Rare Costume Collection and to unlock it you'd need to complete the other two collections. PvE, Prize Maps and Rux solves the waiting problem. You can actually get what you want without having to luck it out. Statements/questions etc. could be 30k. And more importantly it prolongs the lifespan of the Reward-O-Tron.
Thing is, it seems scummy lol because 200k for a hat seems much worse than 30k. Still better than GW2 Rux. Besides, 200k coins only takes 3-4 hours of playtime.
