Suggestion Loot Crate Prizes

Loot Crates are great. But I hate to see a prize go to waste. Sometimes the crate will give you a prize that you already have. This is warned in the Crate's Description, but I think that there is an easy fix for this problem.
The Solution could be to implement a prize token. Similar to the boost tokens that you can sometimes get from the crates. I am suggesting implementing this for all prizes. With these tokens you can just sell the prizes that you already have and keep the ones you don't have. For example, if you already have a 45 slot backpack, but you get it from a crate, you can just sell it in T chat or give it to a friend. This would fix the problem of paying for a crate and then wasting a prize.

Feel free to respond with improvements! :D

I understand that loot crates are meant to feel like a gamble but it really sucks when you win the same thing 5 times :(

Kainzo said if you get the same item it is basically a loss. If we did this people wouldn't start buying from the store and just buy what they want from other players.

Yea I can see how that may cause some problems. I guess I just have horrible luck to get the same things over and over lol

Buy crates for real cash ---> Sell them to others for in game cash.

Might aswell start selling souls in the HC Store.

It's nothing like seling souls in the store. Those are generated out of thin air - when you sell to a player, you are generating no souls out of thin air.

Please make note of the difference and why we will never sell souls on the store. This is a closed circuit economy.

I know its a bit old - we've tried to randomize this as much as possible - the random seed is based on OS time and then shuffled more. We can make it 1-5 minutes to open a crate and it may help with the issues of the same thing showing up. Or not.
