You compare it to the tea set and other things. Those didnt come from the daily/weekly "community" streams, they came from the Devstreams or special streams only, or from something related to a release in the game (like the tea set). How did 2FA lock you out of twitch? As far as i'm concerned I just made the discussion to happen, personally, i don't like the idea of loot bags, but those are free items so hey! But what I really don't like and one of the stronger reasons that I made this post was because I have a strong feeling that DE just started to neglect/ignore what people are saying to them and still claim that they're moved by the community's desire.

(PSN)Unstar Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I think the grab bags are perfectly fine, with the exception of when they have "rare" drops. Rare drops are manipulative. If all of the drops are of roughly the same quality and desirability, having them be random is totally fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "community" doesn't desire any one thing--it's a huge group of people with different desires. And each individual in it prioritizes what they want differently. I guarantee you that for every person that's upset about grab bags, there are others who are happy with the way they are or really don't give a **** and would view any effort DE put into this as a waste. So don't fool yourself that you know what the community wants--none of us do. All you can know is what -you- want. And honestly, how is DE even going to know what -you- want, seeing as you made a thread that's ostensibly about one thing, but you say is actually about another. And how is this thread going to prove to you that DE does listen? If they get rid of grab bags, are they listening to you but ignoring others? If they don't get rid of grab bags, are they ignoring you, or just prioritizing other things? If they respond to you directly in this thread but nothing changes, does that mean anything?

I’m with this guy, but I want to add something different here. For those who look at the reply’s of the livestream posts, you’ll notice sometimes I’m one of the people arguing about grab bags. I wholeheartedly believe they harm their streamer base, but the issue extends to DE as a whole and their streaming culture. If you notice they almost always end their streams as soon as possible, especially when it comes to these basic community streams. I understand people like grab bags for some reason or another, but what I don’t understand is the whole “don’t like it? Don’t watch!” arguments people make. I think it’s stupid, and as I mentioned in a post a while back, a really dumb argument. No duh, guess what I did when I got what I wanted this week? I didn’t watch the streams. However, my other issue is that most of the drops are things people consider really easy to get in game. What happened to the basic decorations that cost plat only? My orbiter is full of decorations I either farmed or were gifted due to the streams. Those are some examples of good rewards. Why not put them in the grab bags? If they want to stick with them, make them useful. Or how about mods? People always need mods. While I am against RNG in any form in the streams, I can’t argue about them without acknowledging the lack of enthusiasm DE seems to have with their streams. For those who like the streams, you should have notice this by now. Posts being made pretty late (5:30-6, possibly 7 in the evening) when they used to be posted around noon last summer. If you want to talk about grab bags, you need to talk about DE’s lack of enthusiasm about their own streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no proof that the majority of still active warframe players that watch the streams are in a majority of disliking loot bags. The burden of proof rests with you. All I've said is that the community isnt a unified thing, and that proof is here in your own very thread since we have multiple different opinions at hand here already, from -pro, against and indifferent.

(PSN)Stealth_Cobra Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I really despise grab bags myself. Stopped watching DE livestreams since they became the norm. In the past you simply checked the drops for the week, saw which streams had cool drops you really wanted (like the Teshin Statue, a Shawzin you didn't have or a Warframe Articula), then you just had to watch the stream and get your drop. Simple, clean, efficient !! I was excited each week to check what drops were supposed to be there each day of the week, and would make sure not to miss any stream that had a cool deco I didn't own. With grab bags, you usually get a vague description like "Cetus grab bag"... And you have to google what's included in said bag, and if there's anything you care about in them. Rewards in the actual grab bag are usually rather terrible (small amount of common ressources, floofs, maybe a random lens, stuff you can usually get in-game with minimal effort) , and when you do want , let's say one specific decoration item in a grab bag like a Konzu Noggle , there's no way to ensure you get it either. It's all RNG... As if we didn't have enough RNG in our gaming sessions already ! So you start watching a stream, only to get a duplicate of an item you already have 25 of. There's no duplicate protection either, so the next day, you get the same duplicate item , pissing you off even more... The Week ends, the grab bag is now gone and you simply didn't get that one item you wanted... Really sucks since you just essentially wasted a week watching streams only to miss out on the one item you really wanted to get... So yeah, I'm no longer even bothering to pretend to care about watching a bunch of WF devs playing a game I've already played to death and I can't bring myself to play anymore since there's no content for a small % chance the drop I get is relevant to me.

Not my fault i'm Legendary Rank 1 with most of stuff already owned and there's been like a two months and a half worth of new content in the last two years... You can only run in circles in your orbiter for so long watching recycled events like thermia fractures , ghoul invasions, balor fomorians and having intermissions repeat over and over again before moving on to games that get regular content through out the year... But yeah, I really have very little drive to watch Rebecca do a random 20 wave defense mission on stream for a grab bag that gives me the same floof five days in a row, let's leave it at that. If it's any consolation i still log on everyday, see there's nothing new to do , then log off... Which means i'm probably as active as 85% of the vets that still "play" this game...

Even the most loyal tennos merely tolerate rng, the majority rest are hating it. why are you so persistent on keeping a feature that nobody wants? it doesn't sound like DE who values what their players wants. I mean, most of us are adults here. If you guys signed a contract with twitch that forces you to do grab bags or whatever, then just say it. we'll definitely understand and not bother you guys again. We even got your backs covered if some kids come complaining about the rng in the future. Just tell us, why? Your Post title is "Petition to remove grab bags from stream" but you just ask "why ?" : FIRST, why ? Because the Twitch's rewards are usually plats or special access to very few players ... but what abou the rest of all others ? Nothing. Grab bags may be not a good solution but it IS the LESS WORST. And some people like that ^^ but YOUR way of doing thing is like the Skepticism Doctrine : Contest everything, Propose nothing. This why nobody but trolls will hear and talk to you (An why @Soy77 stop to post thing). 🧐 [Troll Mode ON] SECOND, I must thanks your for you post because like a friend of mine said : SALT is essential for human, and with the vast amount of your tears, I've got a week worth intake of salt, thank you it's delicious, sluuuurp. 😋 Third, I must thanks your for you post because like another friend of mine said : §everyone must laugh 15min per day ... and you make my day friend, so THANKS A LOT 🤣 [Troll Mode OFF] To resume : If You don't like it, pass your way or propose something new. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
