Super *cough* cointainer thread? Yes? No?

[ZeuSueZ1337]

Comming up on the 24th of August (and the cakeday-SC-haul event in a few weeks time) I'm sort of wondering if there should be such a thread? Since there is no such thing on the Reddit it could draw some ex-forumites over. It should probably be a sticky topic if its created.

In the guidelines I see nothing bout' l00t-stuff pro/con, and I for one don't really consider specifically SCs to be that, but there may be other opionions on i the crowd? Or other admin/moderator considerations?

So whats the verdict? Yay? Nay?

I'm not sure I get what your asking?  A permanent topic, my guess would be no.  But a user creating a topic about what SC you got would be expected I'd think.  I don't see why it's sticky if people are just moaning about how crappy their 50 flag drop was   Or am I missing something?

We used to get a thread every 24th on the old forums, and I can assure you that there will be plenty of Anniversary brag threads from the people who pulled good loot and Anniversary "RNGesus shafted me without lube" threads from people who got fifty gazillion assorted camos. The members here will take care of that themselves. No extra encouragement at all is required! 😁

At least the Anniversary supers should all be without cost, so any complaints about 'gambling' can be dismissed immediately.

But just wait till Christmas, where I can assure you even more than I already have done that some of the people who bought paid crates and didn't get what they wanted will be here, and everywhere else that will give them a soapbox, to bring more salt than the Dead Sea.

That is indeed quality (and I've run out of +1s again...)!

If you don't like this kind of content, than loot box economies aren't your thing.

Of course people will be complaining...that's the inevitable result of buying something and not getting what you wanted to buy.

I wanna emphasize that this is solely for a SC-thread.

Not for Santa/Satan, depending on your perspective, crates since those arguably holds quite an element of gambeling within in their mechanics.

I was asking what the forum/mod/admins approach to such a topic would be, the reference being the one set up here (this reference will go away in a few months time, but for the time being) nothing more. And perhaps a convoluted way to lure players who wanna brag or moan bout' the stuff they get in SC, onto this forum as they are not allowed that kind of post on the, sort of, other forum - the subreddit

Hello @ZeuSueZ1337

You can use this topic or a new one if you and other users would like to share your SC haul. Let me know if you'd like this topic to be cleaned/closed  

[Yedwy]

This year I am thinking about makeing a YT vid of the anniversary SC "unboxing" once I collect my due, just for future reference... 😁

OK, my guess would be the same as any other thread.  Be respectful and use common decency and post away about your SC's.  Obviously, we won't let this become Reddit.  But kvetch away :-) Thanks @EXEC_HYMNE_Ar_tonelico

My last SC was Marceau and I'm still smiling

Nobody seems to be using this thread to post SC drops... can't find anything else except the 'Monthly' SC thread and this does not qualify because this is a daily container drop, 1st container, a TYL. Sadly what I got was:

7 days of premium time.

 

[Admiral_Karasu]

One SC just showed up, no idea why. On EU.

25 x +40% Credits.

[Admiral_Karasu]

First container drop of the day, a TYL. (EU).

25 000 Free XP.
