Loot boxes - getting duplicates of things like footsteps feels terrible

If you are prone to gambling addiction you would never do that would you?


If you are clever, I guess you would - at least I know there are people who have done that.

and there are people who loves MTX and if they stuck with full set but missing just body armor you think thats an easy choice to wait months untill this body armor is on shop so you can finally get to use that "set" you invested alot into?


If it isn't, don't start buying loot boxes to start with. Lots of those sets go along quite nicely with other MTX armours, and if you are so much into MTX, then I'd guess you should have plenty lying around.

Apart from that, yes, for me that is super easy. I'd rather invest that money into the local pizzeria (if it was open, that is ;)).

Not really. The only thing that will make GGG change anything is if it hits their pocketbook. If people stop buying MTX and loot boxes because they are dissatisfied with the game then they may consider making a change. As long as they are making money and hitting certain thresholds of sales they will never change. There is a youtube video out there of Chris Wilson saying at a developers conference exactly that. As long as they pump out content they make money, so that is what they do. You can't really blame them, the onus is on the consumer to stop encouraging bad behavior by the producer.

The bottom line is exactly like Shags says, if you don't like it, the best thing you can do is simply stop buying them. It is clearly a business decision on GGG's part to release these boxes and those decisions are made for one reason, money. Voting with your wallet is the only way to change that. Dumb? I think not.

Why would they change it when people like yourself continue to dump monies into their bank account?

Money talks. Nothing else.

I'm glad there seems to be a number of dumb people. Maybe we should start a club.

I disagree. Lootboxes are gambling, and since most nations are refusing to crack down on feeding into that potential addiction, a lot of games are exploiting it to milk players out of their money.

Stop buying them, tell GGG with your wallets that you don't condone gambling.
