Buying specific mythical items does kill the idea of adapting your mech to what you get which is most of the fun. Say you get a mythical weapon but it is too heavy for your current mech then you need to adapt and try out new combinations.
Selling has been suggested before however I think fusing is equally as beneficial as you get to improve your current mech rather than just trying to get the best items from boxes.
oh yes, the hours of fun we can have putting in real money and not getting the gameplay we expected for that money when the box gives us a bullet module. time of my *CENSORED* life.
oh and financialy it makes tonnes of sense too. I'm sure nobody would be put off by the gold box lottery when considering whether or not to put their money into the game. people love to gamble.

that's only 2k+ less players per server than a few years back. keep up the great work tacticsoft marketing team!
