The idea is so cool and awesome, that while it should support arum purchasing, it shouldn't be exclusive to those who do so.

Now, what I would pay actual money for are visual customizations. You could also add a BPO only game mode, where you can only spawn in suits that cost 0 isk, and make APEX suits (only the arum purchased ones, not the LP ones) customizable with any BPO's that you have, so that players can edit suits that they payed money for with modules and weapons they payed money for.

The game mode would be a huge hit, as it would keep most tryhards out, would not be P2W, and would force everyone onto a semi-level playing field.

Things like that would make you guys so much more money than cash grabs like these, and would preserve the awesome new loot aspect that was added.

Have to agree, seems like we're heading down an unsavory path....also the daily missions, while fun, are a bit out of character with the New Eden vibe. Less gritty scifi dystopia and more amusement park, imo.

Not saying that you will get more keys than boxes, but at least be able to get 1-3 keys a day guaranteed if you finish around 3 or more missions or something. The ratio of free keys to free boxes should be around 1:4 or 1:3, in my opinion giving plenty of keys to casuals, and leaving plenty of room to those who want to unlock every single box. Just my two iskies.

Agreed first 1.9 which was how to make money part 1 now 1.10 which is also kind of how to make money part 2. Although the salvage boxes aren't the only rewards we get for missions we should still be able to obtain the keys with isk, end if battle salvage or by completing certain difficult missions. Should Legion be on the ps4?

Less gritty scifi dystopia and more amusement park, imo. No different than PVE missions in EVE. Also, why not add a simple R&D/manufacturing mechanic that allows you to buy a BPO and instead of the BPO being like it is now as an actual suit, it is a BPO like EVE and you have to spend money to produce copies of the suit. This would take time also to cook off the copies so, just like having to take the time earning money to buy more suits, you instead wait for the suits to be manufactured. Why would you do this? Because the BPO suits are ultimately just reskins and the cost in isk would cost as much as a basic suit yet be advanced to proto level. I think a mix of aurum and isk as well as wait time is worth having a better suit that costs less in isk to upkeep. This way CCP can make money while not just handing out suits and weapons that never have to be replaced and offer proto suits that can be equippable, but not be a P2W situation. I'm better than laser focused; I'm hybrid focused.
