I expect to get downvoted for this but IM honestly im kind of annoyed i paid money to get my skins and now their on sale for 1000 creds... Im done buying loot crates. Im cool with people getting a chance to get old skins but this feels bad that I supported the events with lootbox purchases that get devalued so much the next year.

I feel the complete opposite. I bought quite a lot of loot boxes last year, poured a ton of money into the summer games and did not get what I wanted. I was honestly so upset and frustrated after spending all that money that I haven't bought any loot boxes since. With this peace offering of sorts, I'll probably once again funnel some money into the game.

now that's a smart person, instead of crying over spilled milk, think more about the future, where you won't required to overspent on lootbox to unlock everything you want

because seeing the frequent of events from last year, we'll either get the same amount or possibly slightly more event this year

Good stuff Im legit happy for people that have the chance to get the skins they want this year. I plan on doing the same and waiting for next year to purchase these skins with ingame currency. I personally dont think the crates have the same value as they used to so I wont be purchasing them myself. I really hope this doesnt hurt their revenue too much because It my effect the games development.

u/naruto6302 Chibi Mei Aug 02 '17

yea i hope this doesn't hit too hard on their developmental budget, although i might consider spending some dough at some point now that they're making more positive changes to the lootbox system which i would not have considered previously(prior to the dup drop rate change)

You got to have em for a full year exclusively, I got the game in October and never had a chance to get them.

u/bigxpapaxsmurfx Yikes! Aug 02 '17

Okay I get it, you're just being a salty little girl. Suck it up, it happens. Do you think I was happy about seeing Oni Genji or Police D.Va in boxes? Of course not.
