    Easy fix of lootboxes

    I noticed lots of people complaining about lootboxes and problems around it and I also understand owners of the game who want as much money as possible.

    Scrap classic lootboxes, keep shop. Players will earn ingame currencies, buy what they want and people with better income can buy ingame currencies with real money.
    Lootboxes will be still there, but only to buy. So just people who like them will have them.
    Nobody will have full inventory of stuff they dont want, nobody will have to spend time opening lootboxes and selling unwanted items if they dont want to, people who like lootboxes will still have them.
    If it look like in Fusion and it didnt work so well there, it is just because it was added when not many people was playing Fusion and there was no lootboxes for people who like them. I believe it will work in Rising.

    Easy alternatives.

    Option to open all lootboxes at once, option to sell all multiple items at once.

    Lootboxes will have new items or ingame currencies instead of multiple items. So if you won T-shirt which is in your inventory lootbox will automatically offer money instead.

    In short: There is really nobody who like to have more than one of each item. Some pople like modifying driver and bike but not opening lootboxes.

    I think you're forgetting that it's not possible to buy lootboxes with money.

    I have no problem with them. They're only cosmetics, and you can sell the dupes. I know some people (not saying you) have an irrational hatred, no matter how benign they are, and to stop those people review bombing the game the sensible solution would be no XP in the game == no levels == no lootboxes. Simply give rewards of gold bolts or acorns from beating challengers etc.

    The boxes concept is okay, they just are bugged atm, and don't seem to be properly rewarded when I level up via single player.

    Challenger crates are bugged as well, not appearing anymore for everyone or bugged out at mid-progress for others.

    Boxes themselves should stay available for just coins, while bundles and acorn gear store already provides content for extra money.

    However, I do think acorn gear should remain available as a chance from a box.

    I would love to see Acorn tournaments return to the game as well.

    So if I understand you correctly. You dont mind opening lootboxes one by one, have inventory full of copies of same items and selling unwanted items one by one?
