Thoughts about gold vs 'classic' credits/a potential rework for skins
At this point everyone and their mom has a surplus of credits, even more have very little overwatch coins. Why? because no one wants to spend money on this game with how expensive the skins are. In my store right now i'd have to spend £16.79 to get Jotun mauga. (1900 overwatch coins, i'd be buying 2200)For that price I could seriously get a full meal to share with another person from dominoes.
I think that you should be able to buy what *would* cost a given amount of overwatch coins for 1.5x the price in regular credits. So a legendary skin would cost 2850. This would do two things, 1. Give credits a real purpose besides emotes(lets face it everyone has the ow1 skins they want for the characters they play) and 2. Stop pressuring players into spending money on the game.
This is just my own thoughts, would lvoe to hear others opinions :)
