I don't think us FR players have the right to complain about lootboxes where you can also have the option of buying the minimal you want for a slightly higher price when we have the biggest kind of gambling of any pet site - Unhatched eggs.

the price of unhatched eggs is set by the community though. plus you can acquire them through free-to-play methods without paying any gems...

Same with the pet boxes, you can pay for them in sandust/sP. Sure, it'll take a while, but it's able to be done.

the prices are completely unrealistic for consistently being able to purchase cash shop things for sandust

At least with fr it's so extremely easy to make gems without spending any irl money. i feel like eggs are a bad comparison too given that we have two weeks in a year where everyone has relatively easy access to them

I always hate when people bring up sandust as some sort of F2P alternative because it's a massive slog to get enough and by the time you do get enough, there's probably ten more cash shop items to get anyway.

"Take a while" is putting it lightly. When someone takes as much time doing something as boring as quests over and over for a single item like that - speaking as a F2P user - that's just not F2P. It's an excuse to dismiss any complaint a F2P user would have. It's saying "well, technically you guys have a way of getting it!" without listening and fixing any overall issues.

From what I've read it looks like theres a minimal in the box that is currently unavailable outside of it. Even if it gets released normally it's kind of a scummy thing to add. Unhatched eggs can be kind of dubious but at least what you get is all that will ever be in there.

...unhatched eggs are a gacha? You can breed for the dragon you want with little randomness, the eggs are unnecessary - they are not a gacha.

I agree eggs are not a gacha. Nobody is opening eggs going "I hope I get this one in a trillion color combo! Oh no, I have to buy another." It's like "I hope I get something good." Plus you can't buy them from the game's marketplace. Even secondhand they only cost three days of fairegrounds.
