Christmas Presents - Gun and Melees discussion

[Vendhin]

What I've been trying to say.

I feel like most people voting aren't even reading the thread (as indicated bye everyone asking for a gold gun despite the thread specifically stating not to ask for it)- therefore assuming that they're asking for a tradeable butterfly knife with skins which is not the case

That's true but on the other hand if there isn't a limit then more people get to have it which detracts the rarity of it.
As proven by the golden desert eagle item from last year, which had a 5% chance to obtain and yet the majority of people opening presents got one eventually, with most of them getting it dual, so effectively having got it twice.

With guns it isn't a huge deal since you can buy the non gold version counterpart, but for melees, specifically the rares you can't buy, and so their value is in their look.
If the reward item was a Christmas themed HW Dagger (that only has 3-4 in game) and it didn't have a limit then theoretically a large portion of players would be able to obtain it eventually. And then it detracts from the actual item as people want something nobody else has. Even if they have an untradeable Christmas themed version, if say 700 people had it, the item would no longer be special

Then don't have anything in the presents system that you want to keep rare.

If you want a system that's fair to everyone and not just those in europe and certain areas of the middle east then you'll have to have items in there that you're happy to have flooded into the server because it's going to happen.

If you put restrictions or item limits on them be prepared for a lot of complaints because the proportion of rare guns/items will almost certainly be skewed to like 90% in one time zone. I know it's not your fault or decision but i feel like it should be developments duty to keep it fair and balanced, being lucky because you live in the same timezone as the manager is not fair.

We've seen in the past how quickly the "rare" items in the presents appear- if there IS a limit, it will be hit within hours. The people who buy 450 of each colour will open them one-by-one and get pretty much everything in the loot table more than once.
