honestley yes

#

but cost should scale depending on cost on tech web

prisma root
#

NO

#

Pls dont make yeeps a gambling game

tepid magnet
#

if you dont want a reskin then dont buy it

misty fulcrum
glass prism
#

You also should have to own the normal item before you buy a reskin

#

Like u cant get a reskinned bat without owning bat

eternal patrol
#

still gambling

stable cosmos
#

hell nah

#

what is this

celest kernel
#

I really like this idea. This could add a whole new level of collecting.

stable cosmos
#

not only do the devs have to make a lot more reskins, but also it's like gambling with the pets but worse
instead of getting something functionally the same as anything else you could get, you COULD get a reskin you like or you could get a reskin for the bell

#

they were pushing it with the random eggs, this would be too far

celest kernel
eternal patrol
#

we dont want gambling in our game

stable cosmos
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

maybe if there was a reskin shop and each crate belonged to one item, so you could wait for the item in the rotation just like the pets this could work

#

but this would just be a complete cash grab

celest kernel
#

Lmao

stable cosmos
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

that's the worst point I've heard all day

celest kernel
#

What is your point 😭

stable cosmos
eternal patrol
#

i dont want gambling even if i will never buy it

tepid magnet
celest kernel
#

This wouldn't be the same, they would be much cheaper

stable cosmos
#

and plenty of people on this game don't have the decision making skills to decide if they really want something

#

have you seen what kids do with stuff like crates on p2w minecraft servers?

tepid magnet
celest kernel
#

Wth are you talking about 😭😭

stable cosmos
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

also, this wouldn't really be cheaper than pets?
assuming each crate goes up in price by 200, and the crates go common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary it would be 1k for a legendary crate
1k to MAYBE get the reskin you want

#

impulsive children WOULD spend money on that, and probably regret it

#

some people would get lucky, then others would try for the same item
just to get recolors of an item they own, and not a real reskin of anything

sleek wharf
#

retextured items are sold on expensive prices for choice

i think adding crates to get custom reskins would make the game into a rng farming game

or make others play it just for that rather than playing
... hide and seek

#

but ig it just an opinion so u do u

stable cosmos
#

not to mention the clutter, people already can't access any items easily because they have 50 gadgets, 100 more reskins and we'd be completely overfilled on items in our imagination

#

there is nothing to gain off of adding this at all

sleek wharf
#

wouldnt the crates also make the main item itself a little bit more useless if you can get a retextured bat for 500 istead of moving torwards it in the tech web

#

cause you dont need to own the main item to get its reskin
and it has never been like that

torpid cypress
#

I like it if you have to own the item to unlock the reskin

#

Otherwise no

stable cosmos
#

if anybody can come up with an actually good reason to add this to the game, let me know
but all it's going to add is regret from impulse buyers who spent $20 worth of BC just to get a yellow rose, teal butt jo, and a couple recolored teleport balls

torpid cypress
#

Well the reason is

#

There isn’t one

stable cosmos
#

honestly, I would love a way to get cheaper reskins than the secret shop or bundles
but gambling is NOT a good way to introduce that
maybe, instead of buying some items on the tech web, they split into 5-6 of that same item and you choose which recolor you want
it's a stupid idea, but better than gambling

tepid magnet
tepid magnet
stable cosmos
#

because then it would be worse to use reskins as it would be much harder to swap an item for a different one quickly

#

and it still adds another bubble

vague tangle
#

The stick bat/sword was a huge part of childhoods so 👍.

tepid magnet
stable cosmos
#

the reskins could just be on the secret shop

#

really why would any reskins be in the crates when they could just add secret shop items

#

really, all this adds is a way for you to get items you don't want and spend 5x more than you would've if you could just buy the item itself instead of a crate

tepid magnet
stable cosmos
#

it adds excitement until you realize that you spent 5k on crates for 1 item

tepid magnet

atleast to me it would be

#

the argument "it's just like the pets, you can't even get the same one twice" doesn't work here because you can buy any pet you want if you wait for it to show up

#

and they all do the exact same thing

#

and they're all the same price

tepid magnet
stable cosmos
#

then what do I do?

#

just not ever get it

#

or blow my money on it?

#

those two options are terrible

tepid magnet
tepid magnet

personally, i dont spend mine unless i want something

and the daily rotation system wouldn't work because of how many items there would be

it doesnt seem like people are big fans of this but I feel it couldnt be that bad like theres already gambling just now ur getting something and its more addictive

it would be cool to slide around on a skateboard for a sled reskin

(ik its not ur message) soooooo... a teleport ball made to look like a freeze ball got it

tepid magnet

I wasn't the only person to assume there would just be recolors like with the pets

what does that have to do with anything

but you agreed that there would be a blue tp ball so

as you clearly have enough bc to buy reskins in the secret shop

ah

#

I misunderstood

tepid magnet

alg

stable cosmos

but anyway, what if I just gamble and save a bunch of buttcoins and get a bat for 300 without buying anything to reach the bat on the techweb

gusty dagger
tepid magnet
stable cosmos
#

from the start, to the end in fact

tepid magnet
tepid magnet

tepid magnet

instead of spending over 1k to reach and buy the bat, you could spend 300 and just get it

gusty dagger
tepid magnet
#

well ig they can make it so where u gotta own the original item

stable cosmos
stable cosmos

tepid magnet

#

the secret shop method is way easier for the devs to just continue using though

#

it would be easier for everyone really if they just added reskins to that

# tepid magnet wdym?

u put in the item and now u can use the machine cuz it nows u own it (obviously it wouldnt work if someone else gave u the item)

ima make a new suggestion that is better and makes sense

have fun

as I said earlier, a crate system has existed in minecraft servers for years
and kids coming back years later have said how it affected their life a lot more than they wished it had, causing gambling problems and other issues because they decided "well $20 isn't that much, maybe I'll get the item I want this time"

#

children, even 16, 17, and 18 year olds are still at a point in their life where they can easily become addicted to gambling mechanics in games, and in an environment where they feel comfortable they are FAR more likely to act upon the urges to buy crates, spin wheels, and spend money they shouldn't

celest kernel
# stable cosmos ...? you mean let the kids be impulse buyers and regret making purchases they di...

You can't decide how players are going to spend their money. Let them do what they want. Sure being pressured isn't cool but if your "friends" are forcing you to buy these items, they aren't friends. You are trying to fix a problem that has no solution. Kids will always spend money on games they like even if they don't get what they want. They should know that they may not get what they want. Here's a solution, don't show the items that you could get from the crates. All of the pets were never shown, so you never knew what you would get nor what you wanted due to the fact that you didn't know the colors. Do this with the crates and you will never know what to expect. This solves the problem of not getting what you want.

stable cosmos
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

kids will always spend money, but it's the gambling that makes it an issue

stable cosmos
#

people make bad choices their entire life, and turning 13 doesn't mature players automatically

#

kids will still make the wrong choices, so why add something that makes it so easy to

celest kernel
#

If a kid spends money and doesn't get what they want; they will probably stop there and realize that wasn't smart, or continue. You can't change how kids spend their money.

stable cosmos
celest kernel
#

This isn't even bad 😭

#

Just a fun new mechanic

#

You think it will be bad

stable cosmos
#

like I said earlier, kids are more likely to develop habits if they learn these things through familiar places
a fun kids game is not a place for any sort of forced gambling for certain items with a currency that can be bought with real life money

celest kernel
#

You can't really stop kids from being kids. Let them live man. It's their parents job to guide them. Not a ranndom stranger.

#

Also, it is their money. So we should tell them to not spend it on what they want? If they earned it; they should be able to spend it how ever they would like.

stable cosmos

Same

iron crater
#

they should add slot machines where you can spend buttcoins for a chance at more buttcoins

trust

stable cosmos
#

kids were spending 1000s to get the black cat day 1 of the pet update, do you think they didn't even slightly regret that?

celest kernel
#

Also, you get more buttcoins from your pets.

stable cosmos
celest kernel
#

What's wrong with having lots?

stable cosmos

I love gambling🤑

limpid hawk
#

the random pet thing didn’t receive much backlash because most of the most wanted reskins would come out in the shop anyways, but a reskin crate might not be the best idea. what would be nice is a chance at some random decoration blocks, that would at least have more rarer blocks to collect

stable cosmos
celest kernel
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

also, buttcoins don't seem like they're worth anything to little kids, so of course they'd spend them on stuff in the game
there's a reason casinos use chips instead of actual money, it's so you don't notice how much you're losing

#

the same logic applies here, 2000 BC to get 2 crates doesn't sound like much, but it's $10

celest kernel
#

I'm done talking, I don't see the point you are making. This was just a simple fun suggestion. It can not be this deep 💔

celest kernel
stable cosmos
limpid hawk

You gotta be 10+ anyways

stable cosmos

people are still learning at that age

celest kernel

have you met most 13 year olds?

celest kernel

Man, just let these guys buy what they want 😭

stable cosmos

how is this any different?

celest kernel
celest kernel
#

Those don't compare

stable cosmos
#

yeah where the currency costs real money

celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

you can't name how this would be any better because it wouldn't be any better

#

you can get free chips in casinos

iron stone
#

big win

stable cosmos
celest kernel
#

The cansino is meant for gambling, this game isn't.

stable cosmos
#

there's a reason kids can't gamble in casinos, and that should apply here

celest kernel
#

Don't know what you are trying to say.

stable cosmos
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

crates??

celest kernel
#

I can't bruh

stable cosmos
#

that you spend money on to get a random item?

iron stone
#

big win🤑🤑

celest kernel
#

People can gamble if they would like to

stable cosmos
#

so why can't kids go in there

celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

again, you can't answer because you don't a reason

celest kernel
iron stone
#

do you want us to like

celest kernel
#

What are you trying to say...

stable cosmos
#

on your phone

vague fern
#

i love gambling my life away

iron stone
#

read a book full of laws or something

stable cosmos
#

how is that any different from this

celest kernel
iron stone
celest kernel
#

You would need to set up a credit card and other things. Kids don't know how to do that kind of stuff.

stable cosmos
# celest kernel Brother what 😭

it's the same damn thing
you get on an app, spend money some money to get the currency in the app, then spend the app currency to win something

celest kernel
#

Also, not everyone can even gamble

#

Gambling is literally illegal in my state

iron stone
#

it isn’t gambling if the items dont provide a advantage tbh

iron stone
#

and you can get the currency for free

stable cosmos
iron stone
#

like alot for free

stable cosmos
celest kernel
#

These are different

iron stone
#

if you HAVE to pay then it chases away users

celest kernel
#

If you hate gambling so much, go solve the problem in real life. This is a game. Not a casino.

iron stone
#

also I assume that all of the items would have a equal chance of you getting them

stable cosmos
# celest kernel What's your point?

my point is, this introduces gambling into a children's game (yes 13+ is children) that gently teaches kids that gambling isn't so bad
if ya'll weren't 13 year olds and knew anything about the effects on kids with this stuff, you wouldn't be arguing for gambling

iron stone
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

today it's only 1k BC, in ten years when these kids can actually gamble in real casinos it'll be 100 dollars

iron stone
#

what

stable cosmos
celest kernel
iron stone
stable cosmos
# celest kernel Brother what...

do your damn research before saying everything you think is true
kids who gamble in games are far more likely to have gambling problems later in life

celest kernel
stable cosmos
stable cosmos
celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

gambling like this can and does have real life effects on people

celest kernel
stable cosmos
#

there quite literally is a wrong and right answer

celest kernel
celest kernel
#

not a feature 😭

#

Doesn't exist

stable cosmos
#

sorry suggestion

#

I'll speak to your liking next time big dawg

celest kernel
#

Go argue with Nathan about this so called "problem" If they thought it was bad I'm sure they would remove it.

prisma root

Gambling = bad

#

isnt this gambling

stable cosmos

so a check, but you want gambling in yeeps

celest kernel
prisma root
stable cosmos
celest kernel
prisma root
stable cosmos
#

which is gambling?

celest kernel
#

😭

prisma root
#

This = gambling
You buy something, you get a random reward

#

doesnt matter if you cant get it more than once

stable cosmos
#

that's like if I said I didn't like p2w games, but I wanted minecraft to make it so you could buy a diamond sword for $20

#

those are two conflicting points

celest kernel
#

This is gambling at it's lowest. It isn't going to harm me. It is your choice to buy in game currencies. This is a kids game for Gods Sake

stable cosmos
#

can you get this through your skull?

prisma root
#

so there is a chance people would get addicted to it. (the feeling of getting something rare, and showing off)

stable cosmos
#

it would harm others

celest kernel
celest kernel
stable cosmos
stable cosmos

that's like if I said "lets make vaping okay for teens, because otherwise they'd smoke cigars"

celest kernel

prisma root

if its a risk, then why promote that risk

you take it up with the devs

what if we made it like the pet egg machine

stable cosmos

prisma root
#

its still gambling no?

celest kernel
# stable cosmos ^

Ah, yes. You destroyed your own point. The Devs don't have a problem with it as they added it to the game 🤯

stable cosmos
#

I haven't said anything about the clutter and effort to make reskins

celest kernel
iron stone
stable cosmos
#

not to mention never seeing the item you want during the shop rotations

stable cosmos
#

and you could spend 800 on a bat, or spend even more to get there on the tech web

#

this adds a host of issues when we could put all of this on the secret shop

iron stone
stable cosmos
celest kernel
#

They perform the same but look different just as the pets do

stable cosmos
#

spinning for a blue bat takes far longer than spinning for a red cat
as there would be far more gadgets to wait through

iron stone
stable cosmos
#

but that's just opinion

#

once you distort the original idea enough, I can see it working

#

congrats

iron stone
#

big win

stable cosmos
#

except for all the clutter and actual designing of gadgets but those are smaller issues, especially the clutter if there isn't any recolors

#

everything will take time, so saying it would be too hard to make is a bad point

iron stone
#

open a community reskin “competition”

#

community gets more involvement

#

trass saves time

#

win win
