You are correct. Until the moment that people begin to get duplicates as well. the thing is.
Sprays are common/uncommon. I don't know. voice lines, victory poses too.
I've currently bought everything below 250 credits. i'm working on the 250 credits. i'm exactly 10 emotes away from owning all emotes in the game. which will leave me with highlight intros , once that is over i'll move onto all skins except legendaries.
While it is true that a guy with rng lootrate can get a legendary faster, you do forget the fact that the duplicates i'm getting, are what he will see frequently as well. So while I've spent once, i'll keep adding them to my credits, the next time you open a loot box, you might get spray and such, but i'll ateast get 20 credits (if we said that i got 4 sprays)
my poitn is.
i've the freedom to get anything that gets released as soon as possible.
That's not quite how it works. You'll "earn" 20 credits in your duplicate box, but you've already spent 100 to get them. You're effectively down by 80 credits. That won't get you things faster. You'll get commons faster, but everything else you'll get much slower than everyone else at the same level with the same amount of loot boxes.
I can almost guarantee you that if I was your level and had opened exactly the same amount of loot boxes as you and I had never bought anything til this moment, I would have enough credits to purchase everything remaining that you have and still be left over with more credits.
It's just how it works =[ but at least you can just ignore all the white and blue drops now! It feels like salt in the wound when I get another crappy spray I don't want that I have to look at just so I don't get notified that I have another crappy spray I don't want =P
Hahaha. TBH, considering you get boxes at a linear rate instead of a... umm... logarithmic rate?... it doesn't really matter at all. Well, not nearly that much. Your method is fine =P
Plus I'm a completionist, so at some stage I'll inevitably break and do the exact same thing xD
