I don’t mind the marquee releases as long as they follow the cadence they have established to get them to farmable locations. What I do mind is the continued marketing of shard packs as having a chance to drop 3-330 character shards without the disclosure of odds for the various drop rates. It’s predatory, it’s essentially gambling, and I thought Apple was going to clamp down on it. The loophole of forcing people to convert their real money into virtual currency before spending it on packs and pretending this makes it something other than an impermissible “loot box,” is ridiculous and insulting to players. If you simply priced the packs more reasonably and were honest about the odds, I expect you could generate a similar amount of revenue. But instead, the choice is to continue using the worst business model in gaming.
I agree with OP and you. Marquee accompanied with staying true to release cadence is a great. It's not right they don't publish the probabilities for shard drops in the 5 - 330 packs. Especially with such a wild range. The crystal cost I'm less concerned by, just tell people the odds.
They would have to lower the cost if they disclosed the odds (or increase the odds) because far less players, especially newer players, would bother with the packs if they knew how low the odds were to get anything more than the lowest three drops.
That's fine sooner or later the lobby won't be able to keep this from being gambling enjoy it while you can
EDIT you can say i'm wrong but remember when alcohol was illegal.....
EDIT 2 : There is a reason DISNEY does not have casinos on their fun filled cruise lines..... because gambling does not fit their family model.... I'm sure the parent would only take so much pressure before...modifications were made...
(Don't get me wrong...not talking specifically about this...) I mean if battlefront loot boxes was not enough for the parent...this would not even be on the radar but you never know a few articles here few outcrying parents leads to a lobby...lobbies lead to laws......laws lead to me selling shardspacks on the black market lololol
