Introducing Silicon Valley's Encrypted Items

Is this one of those the community doesn't know how to play properly so we are going to change the game again? Just scrap keys and allow players to buy lock boxes from the bit store for 40 dollars (because you guys know how to price things right), bring back the legendary gun with epic mods kit for 100 dollars and roll in the dough all day.

By the way, if you are a business that wants to succeed, please stop talking down to your customer base and making them feel like they are the ones who are in the wrong.

Dlp 1 was introduced with nary any content and items that were incomplete [craptor].
Dlp 2 was introduced broken and every "fix" breaks it even worse. It is almost dead as it is.
Dlp 3 was introduced with a rip-off of an event that was already in game. And, oh yeah, samurai.
Dlp 4 gave us Colonel Sanders.
Dlp 5 gave us arkforge and the ability to upgrade rating.

It was promised that a future patch would allow us to upgrade raity and a further patch would allow us change synergy and rolls. All of this with Dlp 5's arkforge.

Now, the patch to gain the ability to upgrade rarity is being nerfed.

Paint me, unsurprised.

It's slightly troubling at how quickly these changes come, and how altering they are. This is something I would expect during an Alpha. We've seen almost a complete about-face over three months with arkforge. It gives the impression the developers are seeing unintended consequences.

I'm not trying to call anyone out. There's value in objective feedback, whether it's good or bad.

Sooo... they arent gonna do anything about this carl dbag?

You see how I find that hard to believe right?

So let me spell this out for you.

We don't buy arkforge because the price is insane and lockboxes have no guarantee of supplying anything worthwhile. A four blue lockbox is the same as burning money.

The bit store purchased lockboxes, as designed, are likely here to stay. They get the same complaints you give, in other games, and yet they tend to be extremely profitable. They aren't aimed at the normal, or typical user. They are there for those who don't mind throwing down $50 bucks to see what they might get, and some people will spend hundreds or thousands. The fact some of the items are rare (outfits here), and this is the only way to get them (ie, it's expensive), is the draw.
