Can you please just make a simple shop that we can search cosmetics by tags and for browse, organize it by class, function, etc or whatever makes sense from an information architecture standpoint.
Also, if items are in the shop, please don’t retire them to create a FOMO response. Retiring and cycling items, and using algorithms for the shop is manipulative psychologically to maximize sales.
You will make plenty of money with the base game and cosmetics, you don’t need to do these shadier business tactics.

Yeah. Unless they were confusing themselves, and it isnt true after all, it sounds completely insane if it is random which items a player is shown in the shop. That would be FOMO design on a new lvl.
I don’t think it will be random, but it will be ‘limited time only’ so you better buy it now, kind of building a fomo response. Plus algorithms designed to watch your behavior to better manipulate the sale.
I’ll have to see and experience the shop before I can tell if this argument has any weight to it
I guarantee it’s a nearly 100% chance it will be heavily FOMO. Which will only work if the items are interesting. What they showed off today I have zero interest in spending real money on.
They focused a lot on it being a “personal” shop. At least that makes it seem like it wont be the same items that will be removed for each player, when the item changes happen.
Seems likely it isnt the case though. Just too crazy.
I can’t imagine navigating the shop will be too difficult. They want you to use it after all.
pretty sure all players will have access* to everything in shop at same time, just players will have different things at the top of the list. I could tell when she was saying this it would be misunderstood though.
at least with cycling it will always come back, if they make that well known then not too shady like with fine print everywhere.
