Scam sales and false advertising.

LIterally a scam. How can you say that you'll guarantee a random skin when there's only chips on this? FFS, stop false advertising advertising. The game already has a decadent playerbase, and instead of doing decent offers, you put an aug jaws for $45, not even BO4 has such high prices as that.

Really, I wouldn't be even mad if it was said that the beggining that there was a CHANCE of getting them, or if the chips weren't in the last position possible to make it harder to see (better saying, less probably to be seem, since that's a limited offer, its obvious that people would want to buy as fast as possible to not lose the chance of getting a """""guarantee""" skin). Change your marketing tatics be more consumer friendly, saying that you're able to get skins out of gp boxes won't change a thing, since the chances are lower than 0.1% probably with the ridiculously amount of useless content (aka sights) or that skins don't change the gameplay also isn't much. Doubt there's still lots of whales on this game, and instead of doing a good offer to help everyone and you. But I forgot, the greed is always louder. I'll never spend a dime on this game anymore, I didn't care about the overpriced creates with low chances of anything good, but I can't stand false advertising.

edit 2: RESTOCKED SCAM EGGS YAY

it is almost impossible to defend the game at this rate. The ridiculously slow development rate, the scummy movements. to missinformation. Can't see any future here tbh.

This is really disappointing, and those chips shouldn't even be in the box. It's only 30 chips, which is likely to have > 50% chance of getting considering the droprates of most boxes. with that you can only get another lootbox(with an even worser droprate), or some dumb charm slot.

Now, I have an even more reason to not to spend any money on these "scamboxes" $45 is 3670tk in my country. I'm not spending that much on digital stuff that doesn't even look that good for the price and lets not forget that you very likely spent $45 on 30 chips.

My money is better spent on a CSGO key for $2.45 and get a guaranteed weapon skin than $45 for a chance to get a weapon skin in ironsight

Hell, even mobile games like standoff 2 has better skins and microtransaction handling than this and while some of them look similar to CSGO skins, the ones are not are still far better.

It's even more funnier when a mod says that "it was bad phrasing" and doesn't even care to correct his """"mistake""" (99% sure it was intentional) letting the missleading information lay there until others buy the box thinking they'll get something from there that are not chips.

The microtransaction model on this game is horrible, and I can't even get to think that they care at all with that. Hard to not lose most of your playerbase when all you do is shitty marketing tatics and horrible development pace (its pitful to stay one year on beta and improving almost nothing relevant). I should also say that most of the stuff was already done on the KR version or is already implemented on the RU version of the game (if I'm mistaken, correct me).

It's likely to be way more than 50%, considering how relatively cheap the box is.

The funny thing is that some of these weapons are effectively *only* attainable through these special sales. Compare the 45$ with the expected value of ~1300$ (21000 chips) for a single *specific* skin as calculated here: Price of items in Brazil

As another thing I want to bring up, is how bad the shop is and how much they're working on it. If they want to make money, they need to do a proper shop and rework their way of monetizing the game. But as always its always a "no eta" "can't say when" "working on it" without any decent results. I highly doubt they would even care to change a model that grants them the easiest way to make money (instead one that would benefic them in a long term relationship). Not surprised to see why most of the f2p shooters don't succeed

scamming is illegal anywhere tho.

But only europe and america takes it seriously

I did talk to the person who did the advertising. He said "bad phrasing, my bad, next time I'll do better" and left it there. Still, kinda doubt the support would change anything.
