release more rares

[Kinglaser]

i still strongly believe, and basically everyone else who has posted on this thread and participated in matty's poll, that rares need to be released or rereleased at this point
i think everyone has argued enough on this, you've made your point and everyone has made it clear they disagree. it's just like throwing around unnecessary negativity at this point but thanks for sharing!!

"Matty" you're the first person in so long to call me that..

All I'm noticing is that all of us who have been around since the beginning/near the beginning want rares rereleased to some extent, and the people who have been here a year or less have no problem at all with how things are now.

Yeah I noticed that earlier, too. I think it's just the difference of those who still have hope for the "economy" of the game, and those of us who have seen how flawed it gets to be (which is obviously no one's fault, just that some of us have been around longer to see it). I mean like I've said, I've been here since the beginning of this game, and this isn't the first time we've hit this point. And remember what happened last time? Some rares were given out in a Christmas event. So to stimulate the economy, which was having an inflation problem, some old rares were released.
Hmm. Sounds familiar..[DOUBLEPOST=1469467882][/DOUBLEPOST]

I can only think of three other people who call me that, one being my former youth pastor, and the other two my German friends..

We also have the knowledge of knowing all the people who quit with all their rares locked away in their inventories.
That Christmas event was actually really fun. I wouldn't mind another event similar to it.

The only reason this "issue" has come around is because people dont like the fact some items are expensive now and to be honest its tough. People cant just complain because things are too expensive for them or there isnt enough of them. Like ive said before, items are rare because there aren't that many of them and thats how it should stay. You dont walk into a rare diamond store and say "that diamond is too expensive I think there should be more of them in the world so that they are cheaper." or "I dont have time to work to earn any money so I think you should give me that item for cheaper". If you really want an item you have to work for it and be proud of it when you earn it. Its annoying if you dont have the time to get credits, or you prefer to socialise instead of get credits, but at the end of the day thats your decision.

I get that some people may work all day and dont have the time to farm credits but we cant just go making items cheaper specifically for you. If you dont have the time then you dont have the time and theres nothing really that can be done about that. If I had the time id sit painting and drawing all day because thats what I love but unfortunately I dont, but i dont sit and complain about it, thats life. We dont always have the time to do things we wish we could.

The prices of most items that are no longer sold in stores are constantly rising because of the number of credits in game, you dont solve that by releasing more of those items, its solved by reducing how easy credits are to get and putting a credit sink in game. Rare things get more expensive over time, thats how it is in life and thats how it is in every other game. Im going to refer to another game here (Runescape), There is items on that game that have risen from a couple hundred credits to over 8billion credits(correlates to around 3000-4000$ of real life cash) and they would never dream of rereleasing those items no matter how much people complained because they would destory the value of peoples inventory.

No one said to "make the item cheaper" most of us are just saying the price has gotten a little out of hand and they should be rereleased or release a new rare to some extent to even out the demand of it and to give all the players who will never come close to "your easy 1 mil" a chance at some point to come across one or two cooler items.
No one is asking for just "hey gimme that" ... Crates are a FANTASTIC idea because items aren't just GIVEN to you that way, you kind of have to earn it.
Like stated before I haven't been playing this vmk for years on end like some of the other players... I've only got a few months in and I know I'll never get to where some of the players are now, but I'd love at least one ultra eventually on here... So CRATES PLEASE!

I understand that we "can't complain" but you can't either if you're saying that.... Even if some of us do not have time to farm credits, some of us actually still do it and still "complain" of how the prices are out of hand (again me with over a million credits but cannot get a specific item I want because again it's way over priced than needed to be and there's simply not enough of the item to go around). We can say this over and over because those are the true reasons. I don't think anyone can really say those things out in the real world but on this game we can actually control how much we make rather than in the real world because of given time, shifts, taxes, and min wage(for us youngsters at least). It's more.... not flexible(?) than this game; log on whenever we ant, play how long we want, try for extra credits on the side somehow. Boom our credits; can we make money that fast? No...I wish I can buy that expensive so called diamond.

I am sorry however for those who wasted their credits or sold their items to get more credits and ended up unhappy because well the value went down/up for some reason, I've been there done that since end of 2013 to 2014, I regret trading everything I have as well and now seeing I will never get those items back because no one is trading them, mostly.

I really do not see an issue with this at all, even with the designers, but alright opinions are opinions but here's a fact: I'll be somewhat happy if old rare are put in crates that we earn. Plus I'm a bit bored of these items.... I need something exciting again, crates get me excited.[DOUBLEPOST=1469480060][/DOUBLEPOST]

I wish I can remember this christmas event :| was it like a host event or a somewhat-crate event?

ON ANOTHER NOTE if we do get crates can we PLEAAAASE have @hogie 's blue stitch flip hat released??? i can't find a picture anywhere but it's literally amazing and sams is amazing

I would honestly love any kind of blue flip hat, I've hoped they'd come out with one since I joined, so I for sure support this idea! You go glen coco!

And going off what everyone else has said, I only joined a few months ago, and I had to put in a lot of time just to get the things I have now and the credits that I have, which is no where near 1mil at all and probably never will. I very much appreciate the idea of crates because as others have said, I never had a chance to experience them, as well as never having a chance to experience releases of the ultra rares (besides the black skull beanie). I understand Char's argument, sure things will lose value, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made because quite frankly I don't have the time and patience to play as much as I once did, especially not with the amount of lag I have been experiencing this past month. If I had the chance to possibly get rares, I might actually play longer than 15-30 mins (more or less) before logging off.
Point being, having new items and re-releasing the rares even in small amounts with chance is a great idea because it's pretty much an equal opportunity for everyone. Thank you for addressing the ridiculous price issue @Lilac , hopefully there will be good things to come

@Rosey the Christmas event was a host event with VMK_Santa. Sort of like how you go to the mall with your young kids and they tell Santa what they want for Christmas. People basically did that, and got gifts. Some lucky people got rares (I didn't participate, so this is all second hand info)

There was another event like that with Amy during Christmas (or maybe the first anniversary?) where she would put a present down in front of you and you opened it. Prizes ranged from common items to ultras, I think (i just remember that I got Brown HM suit which was difficult to come by then).

Honestly I might be completely wrong, this might very actually been the one where they were given out. I remember the Santa thing being an event, but maybe it wasn't the one where the rares were given. I do remember that it was during Christmas time, though

TBT to when i won an inferno from the christmas event.

shoot e.e I wonder where I was, and this was in 2013 or 2014?

 

[Primmy]

I agree with @Rosey. Even if I was able to obtain 1mil/2mil (however much black flips are worth), very little to no one is selling them because they are so high in demand right now. I would enjoy having one, but I do not need it. (Re)releasing rares in crates would help the people who can't find people to sell them the items they want. Maybe in a ride-a-thon or in the shops for 1k-2k, idk. Most of us have jobs, school, and friends, which (in my opinion) are more important than me playing friendly pirates all day to earn credits. I do also agree that we have to earn our rares and credits, but honestly who has the time? People with rares quit, and they're lost forever. And also, as Rosey mentioned, hours and hours playing double credits friendly pirates (which is the best way to earn credits without paying close attention) will only give you so much at a time. And it's not always double credits. So yes, please do (re)release rares/ultra rares in some sort of crate, etc

 

[awko-taco]

They should deff go about re-releasing green crates again. Maybe this time, A different color too? That would be awesome

 

[RockStar_PoohBear]

I agree w/awko about the crates. There should be like a flashback day where rare stuff can come to the stores

 

[Nicoleasaurus]

I just kinda wanna follow this post bc I love the re-releasing crate ideas

 

[Starlina]

Just wondering about the games general opinion on rare items and what all of you would like to see released. Do you think old rares should be released or would you rather have new rares? In my opinion, I think it might be good to have a mixture of both but not to bring the value of the previous ultra rares down too much. I'd love to hear all of your ideas and opinions. If you guys have an argument for either one or the other or both feel free to speak your opinion :P. --- I dont bite.

I thought there was already a post about new/old rares? Oh well it's prolly lost somewhere.

Id say mostly old rares because people from 2013 probably quit with ultras and well, can't trade something that's gone in the void right? And no one really circulates the ultras because they're hard to get/find...... However I wouldn't mind a mix of both..
