New Shoppe Item

[Chebermech]

I've seen a post not so long ago with an idea of having a random loot crate, just wanted to throw it out in the C&I and see the response of other players, hopefully devs as well.

As new cosmetic hats come into the game and the old ones become inaccessible to buy from the shoppe, do you think it'd be a profitable idea to add a "loot crate" worthy of ~$5 to $15 with a random shoppe item in it, including all the older hats and tokens? With perhaps weighted % depending on original cost, and excluding currently available hats for purchase. Also a small but imo important detail, have a loot crate (or whatever it'll be called, if it happens) be an actual package container that you have to open in game (like a gift box), that only has 1 slot in it. It creates more excitement and can serve as an actual gift.

Would players want to buy something like that? Would devs ever want to make something like that? I personally would buy a bunch if it was at a $5 cost, maybe 1 or 2 if it was $10 or $15.

I thinks that's a great idea. Salem did a similar thing. These loot boxes would allow players to spend as much as they felt like to receive random cosmetic items. Some items could even be so rare that there would only be a few in existence. I think having the loot box be an in-game item that you right click "open" with a fancy sound and effect would be satisfying.

If lost or stolen?

the box itself? same as tokens.
but when you open the box, the item inside (if not a token) binds to your account, and you can pass the ownership like with any other hats/cosmetic items later on if you'd like.

Also what Finiqini said, if those loot boxes would have a rare chance of some exclusive item u can get only from the box, it would also increase the interest to buy more of those things. (like a shoulder pet glasses/amulet cosmetic slot item *hint*raven*hint*)

or they could make a list of unique titles which would appear under your name for which you need to bid right before new world starts :V

Devs should indeed add loot boxes. With rare chance for rare and unusual hats. Perhaps with higher chance for ugly low tier hats.
It could be like 2,99$ / loot box.

Thx god J&L will never make that ugly .99 thing on prices.
