#Shop Problems.

Ok, every update it seems to have a different kind of problem when it comes to the SN Shop. Examples from previous updates being: the same few costumes rotating in the featured items in one of the updates (Rocket Science.), the long time where Daily Items were nothing but just denim and camo over and over. Not to mention the fact that usually only in major seasonal updates, new skins are added. Which means that long time players will usually run out of things to buy in the shop. There's also a serious lack of new items that get placed into the All Items section

On November 22th I believe, we got our first unannounced recolor that was priced in coins. They were all for the kids and were the Summer skins but now had a different color...each priced at 2500 coins. Which is a bit more than the max price of kid outfits which was '2022', and in my opinion It wasn't too bad considering it's a full outfit.

As of December 19th, new coin items began to appear in shop for characters who hadn't gotten a skin in a long while. Those being Quentin, Butcher, Ghost, Guest, and Otto. Now, that's great for players, however there's the flaw that the items are rather expensive considering they're single item recolors. As example, Ghost has new 'head' recolors in the shop, the problem here is that they're more expensive than a single kid outfit recolor. In my eyes, not many new players are going to look at that and buy a simple subtle change of hair when they could buy a outfit for cheaper.

I appreciate getting new items hologryph! However I think they could be more cheaper considering the fact they are at the end of the day simple recolors.

I'd like to also address something else in the shop that goes beyond the recolors, and that being pricing.

To the outside eye at least, there seems to be no concrete 'rule' for pricing when it comes to SN. Items that were previously costing tickets can become coins (or rarely inverse, like what happened to Ghost's Christmas) months later, and not to mention that 'rarity' doesn't seem connected to pricing. I am genuinely confused about it and there doesn't seem to be a proper system behind it (holo if you see this, maybe explain rarity to help?).

Going onto my next topic, which is the now more common '1 coin' discounts. Players log into the game and get to claim the exclusive item for a cheap discount will is really nice. However, then you have days when skins that used to cost a lot of tickets gets released for 1 coin/for free. Take the time of originally posting the feedback for example, Christmas butcher was in the shop for 1 coin. In the eyes of a new player or someone who doesn't want to grind for it, it's wonderful! However, you have to understand the disappointment for the people (myself included here) who possibly spent months grinding for the costume only for it to be released later with this steep discount.

A different example is the painter butcher, who perhaps got it the worst of them all. The Painter Butcher was meant to be a exclusive outfit for those who won the art contest and then one day it appeared in seasonal shop for 1 coin only. I'd personally make it so it would a expensive ticket item so it'd still feel special.

I might give a tl;dr here so i don't ramble for too long and so it'll be easy to understand.

Basically, the shop could use better pricing in it.
Maybe have a alternative compensation for long time skin owners for whenever 1 coin discounts happen (not much, just perhaps a few tickets and it'd only happen once per skin),
Please make the recolors cheaper, a simple recolor shouldnt cost more than a whole outfit in my eyes.

And finally, could we please get new skins more often than every major update? Not just recolors, you remember the rocket science update and how that had skins tied directly to the event, not a holiday? People liked that.

I 100% agree with everything, the shop just feels a little unfair sometimes ⬆️

Plus, the butcher christmas skin released few days ago just for 1 coin

#

I paid coupons for that butcher before

#

Where is my refund?

#

Isn't this a bit unfair

#

#

I previously listed that one, but I began to tweak the feedback to list the painter butcher cause if you think about it...that might be even more unfair than christmas

Fingers crossed if this gets enough upvotes, people can apply for compensation
