Blizzard, please make the Summer event items for sale in Overwatch
It's fun collecting items in Overwatch but it takes some time to get certain things and sometimes you seem to never get something you really want. The loot boxes are quite frustrating because half of the items I've gotten from them are sprays and then also a lot of duplicates. I've opened more than a 120 loot boxes and I still have no skins for Ana, Lucio, Mei and Symmetra. Now that the Summer event is coming to an end and you can't get the special Summer even items anymore I bet a lot of people will try to do their best to get as many loot boxes as they can because you can't buy them with gold. Is this fair or is Blizzard just draining people for their money?
Blizzard is greedy?
Of course it's all free, you don't have to buy loot boxes and you don't have to pay for dlc. This is all great but then they put something like the Summer event in the game and put items in the game that you can only get in the special Summer event loot boxes and after the event you can't get them anymore. I played every day for several hours trying to unlock certain skins, intro highlights and victory poses and hardly got anything. This means that for twenty days and God knows how many hours I spend playing on those days all together I got nothing to show for it. Unfortunately I can't buy the Summer event items with gold so I need these special loot boxes to get them. On a good day you probably get four to five, this means you play solo and don't spend the entire day on playing this game, loot boxes and it somehow is never enough because you hardly ever get the items you want. Which means you have to buy loot boxes if you want to get the Summer event items, because you can't buy them directly with the in game gold you can save up to buy items you just can't get with the loot boxes. It's actually quite clever, the whole it's all free vibe that goes around but then when it comes down to certain things you'll discover how much money you actually can spend on this game and that's no joke! Nobody forces you to do this but if you really want that special skin, that victory pose, the intro highlight or even the voice line you can only get from the Summer event loot boxes then you're shit out of luck once the event is over. But hey you can buy loot boxes if you really want whatever is it you're looking for, there's no guarantee that you'll get it with those loot boxes but feel free to buy more!
What's the best solution?
I think the best solution is to be able to buy the Summer event items with the in game gold, that way you can buy with the gold you saved up whatever you want. Give people a week to earn stuff and you should at least be able to buy certain things, because it really sucks when you have to miss out on certain items just because the loot boxes give you the same crap constantly. Sure you get a bit of gold for duplicates but wouldn't you rather get something new or even better something that's only available for a limited time? The worst part is when you open a Summer event loot box and it's full with items from before the Summer event, which means I could've just as well opened a normal loot box. I think a lot of people are not happy with how the Summer event loot boxes are still giving you the same old crap from before the event and you can't buy the Summer event items so you're pretty much depending on pure luck to get the items you want from loot boxes, which is a very small chance! So if Blizzard makes it possible to buy the Summer event items we can all buy certain items and at least get some items we really want, perhaps not everything but it's better to get some than none!
