    Loot boxes done right

    I am very adverse to loot box mechanics because of their recent predatory nature, and also because I feel that all post release content being vanity, equipment or dlc should be made free for season pass holders. Additionally I feel that there should always be an in-game opertunity to win loot box or in game currency towards them, instead of a limited real money purchase.

    I am really impressed that ubisoft has placed one loot box a week as the solo challenge reward, and I hope that this continues to be the case ongoing.

    As I said in the first week of Season 5. This way, it is done right.

    We are entering the 4th week of Season 5. Hopefully they put another one next.

    There's no crate reward this week. So half hearted.

    You guys are expecting one a week now?

    We've had 2 for free and 2 so far as challenge rewards. I'm guessing more to come, but there's no obligation on them to do this.

    Why yes, yes we are. Rather than recycled materials, rewards come as items we haven't obtained. Much sweeter deal.

    Go to work tomorrow and and ask to work for free. See if it enlightens you on how the economy works.

    I technically had to not long ago. Digressing, Ubi still has their sizable line of microtransactions available so funding still exists.

    By the way, try not to come off so abrasive. You can't chill with the kool kids acting up like that.

    That's a reason to be more abrasive.

    Why not give us a hundred free crates? They gave us a hundred free XP boosters we didn't want. Why is it different when it is stuff that we could actually want or use instead of stuff we don't. I mean they keep giving us rewards we've already had time and time again. Without saying it is for people who don't have them (though it is hard to see how people haven't with the number of times they been offered) try and defend that logic.

    And why is okay for you to be abrasive but if others are you come down like a hammer to squash them?
