Let me start by saying I LOVE THIS GAME. I have over 405 HR 24 MIN 7 SEC invested into it and I am a daily player. I know, it's a lot. I login daily to collect Opal mainly since all of the quests and maps are completed. Opal is the 'dangling carrot' that keeps daily players like me coming back -- the hope that one day we might get rewarded for our daily dedication to the game and actually buy something from Reda that is either highly desired, useful or both.

I currently have over 1,700 Opal saved up because frankly, the offerings from Reda have been awful. I am posting this HERE in the Support forums because Reda's Shop system is not working as intended. It can't possibly be. Let me explain.

Starting last month I began to track the weekly and daily items for sale by Reda. An overwhelming 75% has been tattoos or settlement decorations. That is unacceptable. Looks broken.

We applauded Ubisoft when they increased Reda's weekly offerings from 3 to 6! It brought the promise of more useful items to spend our Opal on and more motivation to login daily.

However, over time more and more Helix packs have been released and the amount of tattoos, settlement decorations, longship cosmetics has drastically increased. This is making Reda's RNG for Opal buyers a losing proposition. And in turn, is going to drive away the daily players.

Suggestion: Of Reda's 6 Weekly items, there should be one of each category: Armor, Weapon, Mount/Bird, Tattoo, Settlement decoration, Longship cosmetic. Simple right?

The second problem with the current iteration of Reda's store is the REPEATED OFFERINGS. Why on Earth are we being offered the same items 3 or 4 times?? It should never happen.

I hope Ubisoft considers revamping the way Reda does business because this version is a real turn off. Literally, turning off the game after seeing what he has to offer. =/
