I find it hilarious that this was categorized as player feedback. No player asked nor have thought about old lux coming back this way.
I know Android serves wanted reaper rings, and iOS as collectors didn't want old lux coming back. But to create a lux vendor ala pirate shop was really a poor implementation imo. Oh yeah, it's definitely a gold sink, which the game really needs, but it only affects very few players. Not everyone are going to be willing to gamble their gold away.
Should've left things alone. Just make boos drops better and Android lacking reaper rings will eventually be a moot point and old lux will will be valuable. There are other ways to make gold sinks beside this way.
Keep the game moving forward, not step backwards.
The fact of the matter is we did implement this based on player feedback during beta 1 and 2.
We are addressing player concerns regarding the lack of seasonal lux with a solution that allows us to focus on permanent content whilst allowing players a chance at lux they may not have gotten.
While I see your point from previous threads on making boss loot better that unfortunately would require a large amount of work from the team to re balance every item.
You are welcome to say it is a poor implementation in your opinion, we know it won't suit everyone, feel free to create a topic in F&S with your ideas on how to make it better or alternative gold sinks and hopefully others will add their own.
How does this make any sense, Landoril said 1million Per Piece, if you think "everyone" can afford 1 million gold for one white fashion piece you are clearly out of touch with this game. They would've payed several millions for a set of advancing the lowest tier to the highest tier as I presume you would have to go through each tier individually, which is a drastic amount of money and very few would be able to afford it ensuring rare fashion stays rare.
I was simply assuming it was a one time pay off to make it white and not a tiered upgrade system like you are suggesting.
While I can see the benefits of a system such as that the usage of in-game currency to buy premium items could massively impact the game, there would probably be a much larger discussion behind this idea.
I was probably being over the top with my usage of "everyone" but that was more for the purpose of the example.
Oh i know players wanted old lux back. But not "this way". Find me a post that asked for lux to be like the pirate vendor. That is OTMs idea through and through.
Just to select this line you are welcome to create a topic on how you think it can be bettered or improved in F&S.
We do understand some may not like the pirate vendor style so we welcome all ideas.

Just a closing little paragraph, thanks to all who have said they like the implementation of the vendor! Great to hear.
With his implementation it will allow us to have a greater focus on permanent content and less of the seasonal just like players requested.
There will be a Community Update coming out soon just with a little update on where we are heading for this year.
For those who raised concerns regarding the vendor you are more than welcome in our F&S sub forum, we want to hear your ideas and improvements!
Cheers
