Ill mail you my used toilet paper. Im giving you it for free, and you didnt want it, it costs you nothing, you wouldnt have my waste otherwise, and i suppose you have no right to complain tons of it was dumped on your lawn?
The difference is that your used toilet paper is both useless and
unpleasant, and takes up physical space. Also possibly illegal.
Duplicates of anything but bulletins are only the useless part, and a whole lot easier to get rid of if you find the sight displeasing
For me, what the War Spoil system need now is immediate attention and fix, maybe not even deploy anything, just put out a plan or a pool for player to discuss. These action would show that Relic is aware of their responsibility and the problem facing, just in the same way a decent man handing you his insurance card. While random nice free act, such as handing you a candy bar, sure is not bad on its own, it is not the kind of act appropriate for such situation.
My point applies to both war spoils and this. Neither of them are anything but ways for relic to give the playerbase
free content as a reward for playing the game. That's all it is.
Complaining that your free things dropping from the sky from relic aren't exactly the things you want to have is a shocking level of self entitlement for no reason.
Look at half the threads on this forum, or the basic economy systems for any successful free to play game. Personally I just want no duplicates with a progression system linked to rank or something else that can be easily tracked. I would even be ok with bypassing some of the progression (except commanders) by buying xp.
If you want to look at free to play economies, the most successful, largest player base and money laundering game is still TF2.
Which has duplicates out the ears and down to the pub.
And, oh boy, this is the kicker. You know how much rage the community inexplicably has for getting duplicates rather than 'good things'?
Imagine if you also got crates dropping. Which you had to pay to open... and still had a chance of getting something worthless ;D
