You might be thinking, "Pff, it's another T1 player who missed the prize box promotions." (Not to offend every T1'er out there) I didn't.
My idea is to give people the chance to get the good ol' prize boxes again. Why, you may ask. Because when I got my first and only non-hallow prize box, all I got was a bunch of confetti. And it was the normal one, so I couldn't get a lot profit off it. So, my idea is to do the prize box events in the next year again, making it a tradition of sorts. (Surge celebrating the release of GiM, Nemesis celebrating the release of Guardians armor pack, don't know about the others)
I also suggest a Crimson Prize Box, which would contain crimson and white themed costumes and accessories, without anything like confetti or UV tickets, just the misc items. It would celebrate the release of OCH and would be included with energy purchases in the 2 week period OCH was released to public on.
Do the Hunter, Solstice, Nemesis, Rose Regalia and Surge promotions again.

Hold your computer screen to a mirror backwards to read.
Yeah, don't use the greater than or lesser than symbols in your text. That's reserved for html scripting.
That's not mirrored, just upside down. It's perfectly readable without a mirror.

If it becomes a regular thing, it loses interest. They are supposed to be 'special' promos. Their uniqueness is an incentive to buy them.
So your saying you don't want to see the boxes anymore because you want to make more profit of them some time later?
Well, I think it was supposed to work in a get & wear manner.
He means if the promos are constantly recycled they lose the unique appearance which made people buy them to begin with.
You know how the Halloween and Christmas events rewards are the same things but different colors? Imagine that for every holiday. The same stuff recolored. Then when next year comes around the cycle starts over. Forever. The same things. Now imagine instead of just being events you can play for free that repeating cycle also applies to things people pull out their wallets for. How long until you put the wallet away? Everyone everywhere would have these "special" promo items. They would completely lose value to both the players as unique cosmetics and the market because everyone has derpbillion of them flying around.
Hmm, I guess that makes sense. But Metal Sonic & Violet/Coral rose items are often found on AH and they never stay for long. There promos too. So, putting a box on AH from time to time might make everyone happy. (Like 4 box in 4 months?)
I think the whole point in recoloring armor is to get the model of the old armor, with new colors to distinguish the uniqueness of said armor.
I mean...I would really hate if my Rose Regalia were re-released honestly...I'd use a different costume, because everyone would be wearing the armor that made me so unique before.
Also, featured auctions are notorious for re-releasing items, such as Tails Tails and Metal Sonic suits. If I understand correctly, a Black (Or was it red?) rose regalia set came up on them and tons of people complained about it. Players literally tried to make a legal issue out of it because of the wording of the original promotion, and that it was deceitful to make players buy it thinking it would be unique and limited-time only.
