Disappointing to see Loot Crates in the game. I like the game and I would consider purchasing if this feature were removed. The current trend in the gaming industry of Loot Crates and Micro Transactions is something that needs to end.

I think they make it fun and make me want to go back to play tracks.

Yep, that is exactly what they were counting on. Next thing you know the boxes wont be free or they will dangle an item that you really want in front of you and you will be paying a small fee. It is a trick and I am sad that you do not see it for what it really is.

I think loot boxes and micro transactions shouldnt be in the game either. When I open a loot box, i dont feel accomplished. Sure, you get a rush of dopamine when you get something rare, but you didnt really earn it, you just got lucky. The game would be more fun if there were items to work towards. Items should be tied to achievements, the rarity is essentially the difficulty of the achievement. You can feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when you wear your earned items, while showing them off to other players.

If the lootboxes are cosmetic only, which they are so far, then I am fine with them in the game. I am just saying that the game would be much much better if you had to earn the items, instead of just getting lucky.

just like acorns in Fusion, you dont have to buy them as long as you play some tourneys or play MP, I have over 30.000 acorns still and never paid for any, and i never would. I hope they stay in the game for challenges, dont buy them if you dont want them. It it was a buy only option then sure, i wouldnt want them in there, but if there are ways to get them free, like in beta, i'm fine with it and hope they stay.

That type of attitude is the problem with the gaming community. You should recognize it for what it truly is and not be defending it. To each their own I suppose.

if you dont HAVE to pay actual money, I dont see a problem, no different than acorns in Fusion, you werent forced to buy them, they were still easy to get by playing the game.

But they have already confirmed that there will be premium crates, which will almost certainly be real cash only and will likely contain items unique to that specific crate.

I've let the team know there are concerns surrounding this issue.
