Weapon Crate Cost Adjustment
Description
I believe the price of weapon crates should be adjusted. Specifically the $1 million Forbidden Crate and the $25 million Explosives Crate.
Based on the current average of capital per player (anecdotal observations,) explosive and high tier weapons are only accessible by a very small percentage of the server population.
I'm suggesting to lower the cost of Forbidden Crates to ~$250-500k and the cost of Explosive Crates to ~$3-10mil. If that is not possible, then increasing the odds of better item drops from these
crates would be another good alternative.
Reasoning
Due to the average capital of any random player on the server being so low currently, the rate and cost of acquisition of these high tier weapons disincentivizes players from buying the crates at all.
The standard price RPG's are being sold for is $5-8mil now and ~$10mil for matadors. Considering it takes $1 mil to have a small chance at RPG and a far smaller chance at Matador, these numbers don't add up.
I believe that the cause is the lack of market for selling these weapons for what they should be worth based on the price. If the odds of receiving an RPG from a Forbidden Crate are 1/20, the cost should
be at least $20mil, and even more exaggerated for higher tier weapons/explosives. I believe as the model currently stands the weapon crates have been made nearly obsolete, meaning it's almost never a good idea to buy
them as you can never make your money back. Finally, I believe slightly increasing the accessibility of these high tier weapons would increase server population, providing more incentive for players to stay on
and realistically farm for, as well as vastly increasing the enjoyment of the server from players now able to get their hands on these weapons.
