Very nice move on the cash shop new item.

While I don’t agree with lootboxes, there are some content which is impossible to make profit from without using lootboxes.

I have to admit, all non-functional and non-special edition cosmetics should be buyable straight from the shop. Limited edition costumes which are intended to be rare can stay in their lootboxes but with their rates revealed. Lootboxes by itself isn’t a problem, but if the only thing in the shop that is worth buying is actually loot boxes, then something is wrong.

What we are praising is not the costume but the action of having that costume and its dyeable version for direct purchase from the cash shop without gambling on lootboxes.

Action that I support becasue I would have loved to have a system like this 2 years back when Hello Kitty was brought and I will support this way of marketing buying the costume directly for the higher price and not spending money on the loot box even at 95 EMP.

I just looked at dozens of outfits and bundles on the TERA store that didn't require gambling on loot boxes. This isn't a new phenomenon.

The difference is simply that, typically, the dyeable version is only in lootboxes, while the non-dyeable version is direct-purchase. This time, they are giving people the option to direct-purchase the dyeable/"rare" version as well, rather than only having the option to get the dyeable version via lootbox. That's the change that people are happy about.

To me, the move makes sense bc this costume series does not look very appealing to most so they need to find a way to cash in as much as they can.

It is a very wise move, and I also welcome it like the rest. Hopefully they continue to do this for all the costumes to come.

Now please sell rare dragons and phoenixes like this.

I bought one of each and may buy more! Thanks EME! I was so happy to see this in the store.

That's why I'm especially surprised at the tone of this thread. You guys are choosing now to sing EME's praise, after they've released a costume that does not look all that good and monetizing it in a fairly standard fashion. It's standard. What exactly are you people praising?

This.

Not only the above but the costume IMO is mediocre quality and style.

It's also a winter costume being released in spring.

Haters will hate. But you gotta give credit where is due. Besides, the looks of the costume are entirely linked to each person view of what looks good.

Personally, I like em. With the coming changes to how you use headgear, you will be able to make some nice combinations.

Also, no matter your view on the topic. Selling what your customers want, instead of locking it behind layers of rng, builds trust overtime.

Point is, we as players been constantly telling EME to to this for years, ever since the first loot boxes were released. EME never heard it acted upon feedback up until now. That's why we are giving credit because this is something we been wanting to see for years, and now it seems EME will finally make a move in the right direction. We can hope.

It is the best idea ever, finally we can get what we want without the deal with lady luck.

Very nice move on the cash shop new item.
