And that's why they have also
"rebalanced the rewards gained from score in events", i guess...
This is the logic from Trion:
Arkforge from the bit store is too expensive, so people don't buy it. They want us to purchase arkforge from the bit store, so they nerf arkforge from lockboxes.
What happens then?
-We stop buying lockboxes from the bit store.
Then they see we dont buy lockboxes anymore, so they nerf rarity upgrades, to see if negating the ability of upgrading weapons makes us buy lockboxes again with the hope of finding good weapons there.
What happens then?
-Lockboxes continue being trash and arkforge in the bit store continues being too expensive, so we continue without buying lockboxes or arkforge.
They see we dont buy lockboxes or arkforge, so then they increase the ingame price of keys and (probably) nerf the amout of arkforge and keys we get from events, to see if negating the ability of getting enough arkforge and keys makes us buy them from the bit store.
Do your bets, guys. What will happen now?
Will we buy lockboxes?
Will we buy arkforge?
Will we buy keys?
