If someone has already put this forward I’m not aware of it.
This is just something that occurred to me and I’m not claiming it to be any good, nor otherwise.
Just putting it out there without any attached expectations.
The idea was to have skins that were only available depending on rank.
And if the player would drop below that rank they would lose access to it.
Every rank would have unique and distinguishable skins, that the players would have to earn the right to wear/use (wearing the rank specific skin would be optional)
Those specific skins could not be bought, wouldn’t drop from cases and couldn’t be traded
Why skins? Because it is visible to other players and would appeal to the players vanity (showing off)
Trinkets are nice but only the player himself can see them/notice them.
Temporay items could probably encourage people to:
- use the Competitive mode
- to spend more time in game (improving their skills)
- and to recruit others to join in to try the game.
Skins and weapons would have to become separate.
