Hey, as you all know, right now it is really hard to obtain brown boxes since the demand for it is steadily increasing and the supply is decreasing apparently. Also, it takes hundreds of boxes in most cases to get a good effect in ONE item so this is definitely an issue that needs to be solved ASAP. My suggestion is simple, add boxes to the cash shop and these benefits will manifest:
-The price of brown boxes will decrease which makes it easier for free to play players to buy them and use them. Right now they go for like 2kk each, and 2 weeks ago they were 600k ea, that's over a 300% increase in price in 2 weeks...
-The shortage of brown boxes will be solved... (main benefit) There will be a lot more people selling them and since they will be way more common, they will be a lot cheaper.
-The server will receive more income which contributes to it's health and stability.
-It will actually be possible to have good stats in our armors... I doubt anyone here has their tmq5/6 set with max or near max stats...
EDIT: Okay so many of you are against my idea because of the fact that you could sell them and they would become the game’s main currency. I have the solution for that, just make the boxes you buy from cash shop binded, simple...
EDIT2: After reading most of your comments, I have come up with another possible solution. Daneos could add Brown Boxes to cash shop as an event once per month only lasting 24hrs. This will increase the amount of boxes in the server and they will be depleting again until the next event 1 month later. I think this will be a great idea since the amount of boxes only increase temporarily and decrease over time afterwards. That will also mean that the price of brown boxes will fluctuate over time and everyone will know when the best time to buy is (during the event due to the massive supply) and when the best time to sell is (3 weeks after the event or so since they are nearly depleted), and adjust accordingly.
