Blizzard stops duplicates in both Overwatch Loot Boxes and Hearthstone. ESO should learn from this!

From the following article:

Apparently there was much frustration with the user base on the mathematical distribution of awards. This resulted in a drop of number of purchases. With all of the complaints about Nix hounds going on, Zenimax needs to learn from their competitors, if they want to stay in the game.

✭Don't buy crates, that is the solution. If you did or do buy crates, well chances are you got nix hounds plus other things that you never wanted.Edited by Megabear on June 23, 2017 3:59PMGuide to making $$$ in Tamriel: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/370618/guide-to-making-gold-in-eso/p1?new=1

✭✭✭✭Their loot box duplicates functioned almost exactly the same as eso crown crates with a small return for duplicates compared to actual cost.
ZoS has shown they will disregard the right way to handle situations and do what they want though1 -
Acid_Glow✭✭✭Love the post but up to you if your buying crown crates the mounts don't do anything they don't fly,swim etc its all aesthetics.

✭✭✭✭✭Not entirely equivalent, since there's a number of differences. Like, you can earn those things in game. And Hearthstone "no dupe Legendaries until you have them all". So not "no dupes", just no dupe Apex rewards.0 -

You're correct, there are differences. Overwatch allows you to earn loot boxes in game and gifts you one at the start of special events. So they already had a less predatory rng crate system and their community was still so outraged that they made further changes.
The title is misleading though1 -
BlazingDynamo✭✭✭✭✭That would kinda defeat the purpose of the gems than. Not against the idea but I think instead of getting a dupe item you can extract for gems you would just get more and more crappy crown potions.0 -
Balsagna✭✭✭✭I fully expect zos to "fix" the issue which will inevitably cause only duplicates to drop in crates. But, have no fear, they are working on a fix. It will be in the patch notes. I can't say it will be an accurate representation of a hot fix but, bless their hearts.0 -
