    Tangentially, once upon a time, people were telling us that boxed sales + expansions + subscription wouldn't last no matter what game it was: "Who would pay for a game so they can pay a monthly fee just to play it?!"

    And then came EverQuest and World of Warcraft and blew the lid right off that one.

    I believe blind repeat is completely viable in Pox. What I think is not viable is blind repeat with such a large pool to pull from. There are currently 186 Exotic runes in the extended set. With a 10% chance per pack of getting an exotic, and assuming no repeats (which we know isn't the case), it would take an average of 1860 packs to get all of the exotics in the extended set. There are also 152 Legendary runes in the extended set. With a 5% chance and no repeats, that is 3040 packs to collect all of them. That's just to get one of each.

    Thats the reason to make me say: make more packs/boxes with less expansions each. Why we have Core, with 6 expansions and Extended with the others? (Aside from the current, ofc). That makes no sense at all, this kind of Blind Repeat doesn't work, sry. Reducing the number of expansions per pack would incentive people to pay for them, cause they will have more chance of winning the desired Rune. This is the business model in Héroes of the Storm. You can buy with in game gold, but a lot of people buy with real cash, cause they are incentivate to do so. This is what lacks in pox, the main thing that makes new players run from the game, Rune acessibilty (even you guys making a great work for this, is not enougth).

    Humm, interesting read Sok, thanks for the time to reply. I really don't have much to say on the blind repeat model working on Pox or not, but I do have faith that if there is someone capable of saving this game, it is you.

    I believe that the main question here is how much you have to repeat in those blind attempts to reach your desired goal. This is what I see that would impact accessibility. In this sense, I have an opinion that taking the trade part, which is currently lacking, out, raise shards per rune and establish a cap of shard usage per week would be better overall to make the game more accessible, while maintaining blind repeat more as a time option.

    Thanks for the heads up, yes that in no way is appropriate and we have dealt with this issue. As a note you can also use the report option too.
