If they provide me with a sense of pride and accomplishment /s

Lootboxes were invented to be the contrary of consumer friendly, so i don't see it working

Nope

League of Legend is free to play and has loot box and you can buy championwithout loot box. So much of choices, so yes it can be consumer friendly if there is choices all around

If they stuck to only free to play games, that would make them more consumer friendly.

I find them more a distraction than progressive.......... Often times getting tons of junk or repeated items before you find the "one" meaningful item..... Sell them? Yea right.... usually prices in game take grinding into account so in game currencey is worthless and takes massive amounts of time to gather the needed resources to sell to get any "meaningful" items.....

Sometimes you don't have much control at all over loot and gathering necessary items...

Perhaps it is those games that really give loot base gaming a bad name since its essentially a lottery system....

I don't mind resource gathering but when it or loot boxes or any other system that requires more of my time gathering than actually playing and progressing through the game/character building......... it can really make a good game boring quickly.........

Sometimes Loot boxes and even random chests don't make any sense in a game (who puts valuables in a open area) or Amazing that Armor fits every size of person....... perfectly.... Obviously I like crafting but I've seen devs abuse crafting too......

All to get so frustrated that you want to find ways to skip ahead...... for a price....

remember the day when cheat codes where free and a promotional stunt; maybe a fun "free" puzzle to solve mostly for amusement and hard core fans..... Now you skip all that for a price......... or

drink the loot box coolaid.............and grind "forever"........... .

sure. ditch the MT that are attached to them and every gamer and their mother is going to embrace lootboxes.

Yup, once they are only free.

There is NOTHING consumer friendly about loot boxes....NOTHING!!

No their very premise is anti customer! Just make a game and sell it without cutting anything and it'll all work out!

I'd say no.

There is a better way to do it if they want to monetize there games, I've seen it done and it does work.

Instead of loot boxes where the random generated loot not only dishes out duplicates and under levelled gear and so on, why not make a catalogue instead.

A catalogue the game where everything a dev wants to sell is on sale rite in front of the gamers eyes. So if I want to buy (dragons fury gun as example), I am buying it out rite rather than doing this whole song and dance of buying 50 loot boxes that are random and do not guarantee me what I am trying to get, which is the most annoying thing and to be honest a total rip off. I would much rather buy the items i know i am guarenteed that i know will enhance my gameplay than buy a crate that has undergeared and duplicated gear in where if i am lucky one piece maybe of worth.

The thing is if we offer no solution then the developers will just Carey on or go even worse, it's ok complaining about it all but we need to get it across to developers that we are happy with it being done a certain way so long as it's done in the rite way and it isn't ripping people off in the process..

Would I be happy if loot boxes were gone, sure I would but it isn't going to change that we are now in the era where money has infected gaming properly and if a game isn't making money the chances are the next one of that game won't be made at all which would be a shame for fans.

Loot boxes need to be scrapped and the ability to buy from a catalogue which gives people the ability to buy and guarantees them what they are after should be put in place. There is no way now gamers accepted it in the first place that somehow someway our games are not going to have some.thing in place so it may as well be where we are actually getting what we want when we buy it.

Yup, by leaving the industry
