wow... You must feel so clever right now...
OP:
I love lootboxes and hope they will add this to more games. Unless the lootboxes are really required to progress or unlock anything else than cosmetic content, I think it is a good thing. I'm playing a lot of games wiht lootboxes and it is not like I'm forced to pay for them (which I don't). I have like 150k gold in Heroes of the Storms and something like 100 unopen lootboxes and I open them in batch when I feel like it. I started Shadow of Wars and the lootboxes are very well done. You do not need them basically if you don't want to; so nothing wrong here.
I really think it is very exceptionnal where lootboxes are actually mandatory to complete the game experience and then it sucks yes, but I don't recall any games where it was actually the case. I mean, if the player really feels the need to use them for XP boost for instance just because he or she wants to get everything faster, it is their problem after all, nobody is forcing them to do so... I think it is a very elegant way to make money for the players who are willing to pay to get there faster
At the end, this is a gamer thing. It works and majority of gamers most likely like it (or do not hate it enough) or they would not do it... So no, I don't think they ruined everything with that.
Also, loot, brings loot and rarity in every games :) I just love the sound of that legendary Plate Armor dropping after killing that rat!
