If I am spending real money on something, I want to know exactly what I am getting, not what I could potentially get. that's exactly my thing. i've never purchased one loot box in my life for this very reason, ok? Its the same concept as buying Yu Gi Oh or MtG cards, though. You dont know what youre going to get, but youre hoping for something good. When I was really into Magic, I dont recall anyone complaining about not knowing what was in the packs. Maybe some disappointment if you didnt get something worthwhile, but not complaining about the mystery behind it. Then again, we could always trade cards. Would it be better if they allowed for trading of loot in games? When I was playing Magic, I always bought the theme decks or played booster draft. With the later, I always justified it as "the cost of entering the game and getting free cards as a result". Trading of loot would be great though, but it still wouldn't entice me to pay real money for the boxes. --- I am a senior software engineer.
