![]() ![]() with the diretide chests there were complaints that getting people to buy chests was basically encouraging gambling and while that was a valid criticism I personally thought it was a lot better than this situation where everything nice is locked behind a ton of battle pass levels and not directly purchasable for a price determined by the market. Reddit is not a hive mind and different people have different opinions on what is good and bad. True, there will always be people who complain, but it is a different set of people each time. Yes, locking arcanas like this is OK for non-vote winner arcanas which the community had no expectations of getting and were basically a bonus from Valve, but building up our expectations like that for 9 months with the Spectre arcana like this and then locking it behind a massive paywall + making it non marketable/tradable is a real dick move. As someone who only started in 2019 I am very thankful to have been able to buy the Jugg and PA arcanas on the market, and future new players will be denied the skin. This lack of marketability also screws over future new players, since this is now an arcana they will never be able to get after the event. ![]() However this is not possible for the Spectre arcana so you effectively end up paying $100 (subtracting the $50 for all the other stuff, which is actually far more than what you could get by selling the items you get, since the personas are also not marketable) minus the price of however many battle pass levels you can grind. With all the previous arcanas once you got tired of paying the hero you could sell it on the market for around $25, so the "true price" of the arcanas was only around $10. However I think the situation is actually far worse than this since the arcana is not even tradable/marketable. Yes you get other stuff too with the battle pass but if you are primarily interested only in the Spec Arcana paying $150 (minus say $50 for the "value" of all the other stuff you don't really care about) relative to $35 is crazy and a slap in the face to the expectations of the community. This is the first time that a vote winner has not been directly purchasable for $35. So Valve just locked the vote winner Spectre arcana behind $150 worth of battle pass levels.
