Instead of making them chance bags at 250 CSC for random items, why not sell them at 50 CSC for one item of our choice? (The monthly collections were changed from a random item to one of our choice.)

I doubt that every player who spends real money can afford to keep buying makeup cases in the hope of getting the one or two items they really want. I buy CSC gift cards and a 250 card is currently 8.4 million sP - that's a week's hard work of questing and restocking for me.

My makeup case contained 1x new item which I kept, 1 x new item which nobody's bought yet plus 3 x old items, one of which sold for 240K.

I'm not risking buying another makeup case - this means that my CSC will now be lasting longer because I won't need to buy another gift card from a player who spends real money.

Honestly, I don't buy any sure outcome item. I prefer chance items and I discovered I buy a lot less from the cash shop since DP stopped being chance items. In fact, most month, I just ignore them.

I'd do the same with make-ups kits, which used to be my go-to gamble item when I had CSC to spare.

I enjoy the gamble.. that's what makes this item fun, IMO. Also gives some rarity to some of the more well liked items and their values actually become rather well represented.

Any change would really depend on sales, I suppose. I was just thinking that players who would never touch a chance bag might spend more than 250 CSC buying the individual items they want.

PS: If DPs went back to being chance bags I wouldn't buy one again.

I like the chance bags.

I'm guessing they'll stay chance bags, then, as long as the site makes a profit from them. If they stop providing a profit they'll probably be changed to the DP system.

Why not do both? Offer chance items with a chance at multiples, but it's random... and also offer the individual items for a cheaper amount of CSC. So, while it's less CSC (for players that only want one thing,) and encourages people that only want that thing to buy when they wouldn't have otherwise, it's not as good of a "deal" as just getting the chance item.

It wouldn't require any additional time/effort on Subeta's part really, since the items they'd wind up selling individually would already exist. They'd just need to stick them in there and price them.

I like chance bags.. I wouldn't be happy if they were changed..

People opened bags in hope to get something very popular and therefore much more expensive compared to other pieces. Thats the purpose of chance bags, you are gambling and hoping for something special.

However, if all items can be sold individually, this doesn't make sense anymore. First, popularity of the item wouldn't matter anymore, because they are all available at once. Second, you'd be making a loss if you bought a chance bag instead of the single pieces. Who would buy a chance bag, with a risk of getting the same item several times, instead of buying single ones, especially if they are cheaper than the bag. Third, if everything is available individually, the point of gambling is gone. If there is nothing special you could be aiming for, its just a loss of csc and nothing special or exciting anymore.

i'm not sure if chance bags are really a chance item... most people seem to get the same 3 items every time. is it supposed to be this way or do they all really have the same chance of getting them?

honestly i don't like chance items. and i agree with a lot of people, i would buy and spen more CSC if i had the chance to pick which item i get, why would i keep spending $5 in an item that is worth less than 200k sP?

and of course it's impossible to get it from user shops because it costs more in sP than $5 in sP
