Cash Shop: Sweetykins Bag
Marcus
I like that it says which items are rare from the chance bag, however:
1. Coupon codes wouldn't work
2. I didn't buy one (not enough CSC plus I'm not interested in any of the items), but it seems like when you buy it, you don't get the chance bag itself, but just a random item from it. Which means that any newly-released chance bags won't be available for sP in user shops; you'd have to either buy a CSC gift card, or buy the exact item you want. I have a problem with this, too.

I use my CSC when I can get any for auto training my battle pet, keeping up with a gold account medal and the monthly battle challenger each month when I'm able to do so :). At the moment I don't have 100CSC to even try the new vending machine. Even if I did I would be too shy to try because there are other more important things to spend my CSC on :). I rely on UGC cards to help out when I can find them in the stores here in town. I can't afford to waste it on something I can't use. With the highest respect, I don't keep up with the new avatar clothing because I'm not interested in that. I'm more into pet training and battling but that's just me.
The new vending machine does look awesome but it's not something I would use unless it will have other items in it to get me interested in checking it out :). I have no luck when it comes to chance bags and I agree with the others that it's nice to buy one for the artwork for a pet treasure chest or gallery.
If only there was a way to earn little bits of CSC around the site - a random event for being active on the site, a random reward bonus for completing a quest or other activities on the site for example. Just a suggestion nothing more. Every little bit helps and it may even get more people active in the site again :).

These kind of chance things for real money are what usually drive me away from sites like this.
I mean, I'd totally buy a bag or two if it was in the cash shop but not while they are on their way to being gachas.
It's more so the format/system; how easy it is to lost track and use what you've got.
Not that these items are even worth testing on.

Although I don't agree that it drove me away from TM, the first thing I thought of was 'Oh here come the gacha's'.I think the system can work for some people, but this exact kind of chance bag system is exactly what drove me away from TinierMe.
I used to be a fan of chance items (it's like gambling!) and I do think this is the start of a good idea -- I just don't see myself playing it.

I don't fully understand why you've released a goody bag which is NOT worth spending CSC on to 'test' this feature. Anyway, my suggestions are here even though I haven't actually used the vendor (some that others have mentioned too)
1. Add the bag as an additional 'super rare' vendable so people can get their damn icon for treasuries, etc. If it's an empty bag, then I think it should come in addition to a regular vended item. If it's openable, then you'd just get the bag alone to open at your leisure... but then what's the point of changing the format? ;)
2. Make the item icons bigger. Why are they so tiny? I think the left column should get 50% of the page and the icons should be full-size.
3. If the chance bag contains a full outfit like this one does, add a preview of the outfit as a whole? Like on the Boutique pages.
4. Move the placing of the word 'rare' to look like it corresponds to the item above it. Very strange placement atm.
5. Highlight on the word random.
5. Actually check user shops prices and availability of chance items before re-releasing them. Please -.- Only one of these items was higher than the 100 CSC price tag.

Did I mention that I do not like this new system?
I'd rather purchase the bags, get my discount, and hoard them for later use.

I like seeing what's in the bag, but I can find that info elsewhere.
I usually use a discount code at checkout in the cash shop... unable to use a discount code this way.
Not cool!!!!

@Cobaltbluetoo - uh lmao it says it's a chance bag and you get a random item, i don't see where that translates to "choose what you want"

I like that we now know which one is rarer to obtain by it being identified instead of having to assume based on prices or what the forums say. It also seems so much more obvious that it's a chance bag. I like the transparency! :D I wish the items were larger though. Not sure why the items received column needs to be so much more wider than the actual vending column. I imagine future chance bags will have more items as possibilities. While the hovers are immensely helpful, they won't really help if the chance bags contain non-wear items, like someone already stated. :c I also understand wanting to prevent the actual bags from going into circulation, but I feel like by not making it a possibility to vend the bag itself, you're limiting sales, since some people want it for gifting, TCs, galleries, the CI artwork, etc. I hope the possibility of getting the chance bag itself is eventually included. Make it rare or even super rare if need be, but don't take away the chance of getting the bag! It's a waste of a CI image in a way (okay, I'm being dramatic, but you know, desperate causes call for desperate measures and all haha X)).

There's only like 1 items above 100csc worth so won't be trying this...I quite like the vending idea but dislike that we can't use coupon codes now and can't collect the little bags.

I am not a fan of chance bags in general as I have horrid luck. I'd rather spend CSC when I know precisely what I'm getting, or when I am allowed to choose. I do mourn for those who just want the bag, however.

As someone who's just decided to collect chance bags and other openable things, I hope you won't be doing away with the items themselves altogether. D:

Sorry, but I don't do chance bags. If we were able to choose what items we want I'd have spent some CSC.

In regards to complaints about not getting the chance bag item itself anymore, what if under this system buying an item from a chance bag awarded you the bag itself as an automatic bonus, like a bobblehead or an Asmodeus Concoction Base?
The bag would obviously not be usable, and its value would be very low due to being so highly circulated, but it could still be used for galleries and TCs.
This would only work with future chance bag releases though, since older ones like the Sweetykins already have bags in circulation which users paid CSC for. Not too helpful for right now I guess.

I like the idea, I dont really use chance bags much. But I do wish you could still get a bag and sell it for sp. I dont have csc much so if I were to want one, Id have no easy way and would have to pay for the csc D; So cool, but seems some downfalls. And I do love the art on the bag, so itd suck if someone wanted that in treasure but couldnt get it due to this.

It amuses me just how angry some users are getting, when it clearly states that you get a - random - sweetykin item. It's all chance, hence the name. While I DO like the new system, I prefer buying the actual bags. Especially in the case of this one, where the bag itself has very adorable artwork. Also, users should have the right to hoard items to resell. In my opinion sP has only gotten worse with all these new changes, not better. Plus when it comes to reselling it's a win/lose. Wait too long it won't be worth anything, but you might lose profit if you cave in and sell early. OR the value will never change to begin with.
Anyway, if anyone has an unopened bag I'll pay 200csc for it. So I can have it for my gallery. c:

Why is that such a bad thing, Keith? People who hoard with the intention to resell help to preserve the value of items. I don't understand why you'd try to discourage that.
It's easy for someone to buy them up and then wait for the items to inflate 6 months later

Not a fan. I like to hoard the actual chance bags for tc. If there was still a way to get the actual bag I'd be happier with it, except that kinda negates the purpose of having this new set up if the old function is still in place. & I'm just pre-emptively saying, seriously please don't even consider releasing the actual goodybag as a separate item without the stuff inside as a way of satisfying people complaining about not getting the original bag for tcs because that would just be a major dick move

Cobalt, it's a chance thing, which means it's very possible to get repeats.. just like having opened three chance bag items and getting two of the same things. Not that shocking. If you don't like chance items then don't spend your CSC on them. I don't understand the rage.

I went ahead and bought one of the bags from user shops because I'd be way too sad if I didn't get to keep one for cuteness sake~ >__>
And @Cobaltbluetoo - I really don't see why you're complaining. You knew BEFORE spending your CSC that there was a CHANCE of getting the same item twice or more. And yes, you do get to choose what you spend your CSC/money on. You chose to spend it on this, lol. Don't buy chance bags anymore... especially since you seem to have already known you dislike them.
I get that it can be a bit frustrating, but we take that chance! :v

I bought 3. WHY IN THE SAM HELL DID I RECEIVE 2 OF THE SAME ITEM?! I'm not at all impressed. I don't like this kind of crap anyways. If you want my money that's fine, and I do see the need to support the site....but by God I will be the one to chose what I get! My money, my choice. Oh, I also received 2 identical bobbleheads. Couldn't care less about them, but I do care about tossing CSC's like that.

I wish there was an option to just get the bag, because it's adorable!
Besides, sometimes, you want to send the gift bag to someone else, it's not the same as sending someone the 100 csc to vend themselves. :(

They don't appear to be any bigger for me yet, maybe on a cache or something? I did a hard refresh on the page but that didn't seem to fix anything. Happy to hear about the size increase though :)
As a side note, hitting the back arrow when on that page brings up a pop up box with an error 404 route not found but if you hit back again it will take you to the previous page.

Well luckily I got the eyeliner which is the only item I already have....but it sells for more than the price of 100CSC I happen to like the format, so I guess I'm in the minority. (I always open them and never hold onto 'em though) I just feel bad for anyone that wanted the actual bag for a gallery or TC

I really like this setup! (: I like that the flow of the bags is controlled by the chance just popping out the items, and it feels more like one of those capsule machines now (which probably wasn't the intention, but it made me smile!) - does this mean that chance bags will rotate similar to the Millionare Center stuff? O:

That works on previews and stuff for wearables but if this branches out into other chance things there could be items such as books or plushies that would be very hard to tell what they are. Plus I'm 100% more likely to try my hand at something if I immediately see something shiny and pretty then if I have to wait for a hover to load or go look to see what exactly an item looks like via shop search or subetalodge or something like that. I just think it would be nicer overall to see what exactly I'm getting and not have to squint at the screen.

@Psychedelia @Seerow I know that people like the items, but this makes it a lot easier for us to control the output of the actual items inside. It's easy for someone to buy them up and then wait for the items to inflate 6 months later, this sort of lets us control that process.
So - probably not on having the actual bag items anymore.

Would it be possible to make just a "bag" item alone ? I know some people like to have the bag as well as what's inside. This is also much much too easy to spend CSC on, sneaky, sneaky.
I would also second the item images being awful tiny, maybe make those slightly larger ? Also having the rare under the wig is good, you know just how much you'll have to waste to get the weighted stuff.

While this is a neat idea, I am very bummed that you won't be able to buy the chance bags (if this takes over those cs items anyway). I usually loved the items on the bags themselves and would even stock up on a few to try my luck later on them after retirement.
Also, the items are super tiny on the page and really hard to tell what in the heck they are supposed to be!
I do however like the overall idea of this new time of CS Vending machine approach, I just wish it wouldn't take the place of chance bags themselves.

Y'all need to stop putting new things in this format because it is WAY too easy to spend CSC :P I got 4 things, one thing out of the options was on my WL and of course I didn't get it but 3 out of the 4 things I got I'll use ^-^
