I'm not a HUGE fan of this idea. While it makes items easier to obtain, I don't think this is a great way of doing it. There are around 1000 players online at a given time. High priority items will sell out instantly, which means you'll either have to be lucky enough to be on at the right time, or sit in front of the shop for a couple hours/day/weeks, waiting for that one item. It will only add to the frustration of players wanting that one item in my opinion.

I see your point, the fear I have with keeping an unlimited stock for a period of time is that then everyone ends up using the same weapons essentially (least a good majority). That's something I notice with the game Destiny which I dislike. Every Friday and Saturday they have a "black market" guy come with a few items you can buy with more rare resources, but then you notice that just about everyone for the next week using that item.

Not the most horrible thing, but one of the complaints is that people don't feel special. You become one of the many using the same items. Me personally, I like to try to be a little more unique

I've noticed a few pit falls with some of the items that you can only obtain from item boxes. Take the 'Scope' torso for example, since it's a level 10 torso it is impossible for a player to obtain it once they've passed level 15 because as we all know, when you get to level 16 item boxes will only give you items between levels 15-30.

This would give players a chance to obtain those pit fall items.

Once you hit level 15 and you start fighting players at level 30, none of the items below level 15 will be able to compete. Not really a pit fall, if anything it helps to reduce the amount of unnecessary items you could obtain through item boxes.

While we're on the subject matter, let me point out a few items that I think are way to common...

Torsos
Engine
Goliath
Electron Power
Flame Power
Fire Guardian
Electric Guardian

Side Weapons
Quad Barrelled Rocket Launcher

Drones
Parasite

The weird thing is that all of these items are labelled as "Rare".

Do it like EA do for FIFA.

Every so often, they specify a time that they release certain 'blue packs' for Ultimate Team. These packs have a greater chance of getting a better player like Ronaldo, Messi, whatever (plz do not engage in RONALDO > MESSI or MESSI > RONALDO)

So, do it sort of like that. But instead, do NOT specify times.

Plus, these packs are rather expensive. So add a good cost to it too.

They are also limited. So make like, 1,000 come out at a point or something?

idk, throwing out ideas. If you like this, I can make a different post for it and get it off Xzyckons thread :D

You can't get the sprites in full resolution from the in-game shop. Also, mythical items are just silhouettes!
