Why gate Prestige Points behind Masterwork Chests, when you could simply add them to RP Purchases?

GÔÐ ÅÂTRÕX·Aug 7, 2019·2 votes·758 views

The idea of paying $100 for a skin that can be unlocked through a battle pass is already silly to me, but to lock it behind chest purchases is ridiculous. You're asking me to drop $100, AND spend it on RNG elements? IMO, that's pretty disrespectful to the consumer. Allow me to spend my RP how I want, whether that be through gifting, select items, or whatever. Don't gate it behind RNG lootboxes.

PS:

Yes, I know the Battle Pass exists, but I have little time and multiple accounts.

Yes, I know it's foolish to pay $$$ for a skin, but it's decision I have no issue with.

I really don't like how you have to get Prestige skins.

You shouldn't have to grind for something you're paying for.

This. I'm technically fine with the grinding bit, if they'd just put them in the shop for PP some time after the event ends. Otherwise people who don't have the time to grind 2000 tokens are SOL (I mean yes techincally you could buy enough Orb bundles to get 2000 tokens, but, I'm pretty sure that's more expensive than buying enough Masterworks to get 100 PP)

Agreed. It is just unreasonable. I mean during some events I have time to play, in others I really don't, so having short timed events tied to Prestige skins like that really is such a bummer. I don't think the price tag is outrageous, if you have the time, but again, not all of us have that luxury and we shouldn't be required to spend an unreasonable amount of money otherwise.
