A synopsis of the short survey
Since this thread created so many differing opinions, let me create a synopsis of the camps that voiced their opinions.
YES: Probably would love to buy at a flat rate of 800 plat to avoid the element of luck when opening crates, and some of these people are choosing this one because they've read the bad luck some players have, since the arrival of Hammerjaw, opening thousands of crates but still no jackpot.
NO: I think this camp can be subdivided into two, but in general this camp would love to have that "intangible" value of owning an Arcane Pet, not commonly owned by other players. So the feeling of being different among your peers, drives people to get this pet by shelling out money.
Crates: These are people who have the spare plats (probably from the doing offers and have some spare money in real life) and would love to take a shot at opening crates. We all know that crates contains several jackpots, not just Glacian, that would yield a multi-million gold inflow.
Drop: I for one agree with this, by giving non-plat players a shot at owning an Arcane Pet. We'll we do have a chance to buy it in gold, some of you will say, but it will takes several expansions before that happens. It doesnt mean however, that since its droppable, it will become too common and it will lose is arcaness. Keep the drop rate as it is, or even lower when it becomes a drop. At least, non-plat players will get the chance of owning this.
I'm sure STS are considering these opinions in their future plans, and we'll see what will happen.
P.S. If you have anything to add, please feel free to do so, otherwise, Dev, please close this survey.
Can we maka a survey about Glacian
