Carnivorousbunny Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I would like to suggest an item that will be another option then cartel packs. Currently there is no guarantee you will get the items you want when you buy a cartel pack. And while I understand you can buy the items from other players who have them, the prices they are charging are so bloody over the top, that only people who inexhaustibly grind out daily missions can purchase them. So, instead what I propose is an item that will allow you to unlock any armor set, weapon or emote... basically anything in your collections for free, whether you have that item on unlocked on your account or not. Does that make sense? So you know how you can unlock items in your collection for use in your Legacy, this item would allow you to unlock any item/set. I understand that you at Bioware need to make money to pay for server upkeep as well as to continue to deliver fantastic new content (super excited for KotFE by the way), so I'm not suggesting you completely replace cartel packs with this item. This would be a consumable item so if you wanted to unlock multiple things you would have to buy the item multiple times. As for cost, perhaps making it around the cost of your standard hypercrate (5400 cc). I only bring it up because over the course of the... two or maybe it's closer to three years now, I've been playing I have spent nearly $500 trying to get the Darth Revan armor set, and so far I have only ever gotten the chest and robes. And I refuse to pay the millions of credits players ask for to get them, not only on principle but also because I would rather contribute that sort of money to my guild, to help expand and get awesome new stuff.

Darkchip Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm just going to say that the idea isn't a bad one infact i quite like like it. But my issue with it is that it could have a massive negative effect on both the cartel boxs and the GTN market when it comes to selling them. At the moment alot of people are making their credits on buying the hypercrates in hopes of getting 1-2 of the super rares items in every new collection as they unlock then selling them on the GTN for a massive profit, Now if your idea was in play then i could see one of a few things happening. 1) They make the already super rare items rarer to get though the crates because not everyone is going to be willing to fork over the $50 to just get one item they really like which will make the items cost more on the GTN when someone finds them in the crate. 2) They will make the super rare items drop no longer in the crates but you will have to buy the unlocks to get them to make up for the lost sales of the hypercrates, Now i say this could happen because lets be honest alot of people go nuts on buying every hypercrate their is to get that one item that they like in every box i mean hell i have 2 guildys that buy like 2-3 hypercrates everytime they come out because they like 1 item in them but norm end up with like 2-3 of them and i norm get one of the extra ones for free, but the thing is that they don't always get it after the first crate which makes them buy another one giving Bioware more cash. 3) They will up the price of the account unlocks to compensate for the unlock anything, These are just some of the things that i can see happening if they do this, Do i personally want something like this, I'm honestly not sure to be honest i can see both the positives and negatives. On one hand i've spent a lot of money and credits to get some items that i wanted at the time but never really use nowadays but their are other items that i flat out refuse to pay the massive amounts people want for them like the rancors when they first came out i won 2 rancors in the first casino event and it was a crapton cheaper the buying even one of the GTN but if i had the option to just spend like 20-30 bucks to get it though the cartel market i would of taken it in a heartbeat.

Theeko Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Don't agree, people already spent tons of $ unlocking stuff in collections, and also gambling on packs as well. Will just defeat the whole purpose of what the CM stood for, so that will never happen. This is just another give me free stuff thread as usual, no work intended.

And if the OP has spent $500 trying to get the Revan armor, he's doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theeko Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Could have easily spent like 100-120$ just to sell packs if you really needed to get the revan set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
