I agree with many of the comments here, loot boxes / cash gatcha are predatory and clearly designed to make people spend as much money as possible.
I would like to support this site and the devs but I will not be gambling money to do so.
Many have suggested the idea of a premium shop where users can choose from items to purchase, this would remove the gambling aspect from the shop.
I hope the devs listen to the community on this and consider alternatives.
