Your feedback will be used in an informative video I will be making on the current economy.

It's kind of mixed. I personally don't really like gacha systems, but at the same time it makes it more interesting.

I would say that I don't like it (like almost everyone does) because they aren't worth it
Also the regular "freemium" user wouldn't get lots of crates to actually get a legendary item since the period time of the crate is very short and the freemium players get 10 daily bits
The positive part of this is that people (on Christmas) could farm by logging in every day credits and get rares to flex, but by the time, rares will get more valuable and more difficult to get (i guess)
I would suggest a random drop system (with chances of getting a rare item) like TF2 during a certain time, limited time rares instead of limited stock and also (because they're adding crafting) a tier system and not just "rare"

wouldn't get a lots of crates because they're expensive*

If you saved 90,000 credits, you might’ve been able to buy 2 copies. Currently, there are two PGE that are selling for 30k and 60k, and idk if someone else might’ve sold in the future, but I wouldn’t say that was worth it :(

Yeah, I opened a crate myself and got a terrible item. I could’ve bought at least 5 copies of that item, and with the new upgrading feature that will arrive soon, it may be better to buy from resellers to get that valuable legendary rare

I was always mixed on crates but usually it boils down to it not being worth spending your money on. The odds of you dropping something good are really low that you'd have to spend a lot to even get one good thing unless you have ungodly luck. So basically, it's almost always not worth it.

Honestly, it has too many sales to be sellable in the next 15 years.

Seems very scammy/cash grabby

I mean a rare chance to get half of what you spend for a crate? And even rarer chance to get the money back of what you spent?

Crates are never good plus theyre focused on people that have astro/spent money because you can only buy with credits and free2play people who havent been on for the Christmas bonus daily basically have no chance of getting these crates, like theyre literally 100 credits.

Buying one of these already drains almost half my entire account, its pretty much a cash grab.

Actually never mind you can convert currency now

Although this still requires a lot of days online since now 100 credits is around 1k bits, and its like 15 bits per day?
