The price of uniqueness...

in Guild Wars 2

I had a little idea floating araound in my head, that could potentially increase box sales and add a little uniqueness to the MMO players. I will try to use Starwars and naruto as a starting point.

Say in "star wars galaxies" 1 out of every 10 boxes sold the purchasees' acct is flagged for the "force" Meaning any character on this acct has "force" powers..

In Naruto 1 out of 10 boxes sold, the acct might have tailed beast sealed in side every character made.

I hope you kind of understand where I was trying to go with this, would you as a mmo gamer pay for a chance of uniqueness?

 It is basically a lottery system for uniqueness and unique abilites.

    No. Then I would have to buy the game over and over until I got it.

    Don't think it would work for a mainstream themepark MMO. Look what happened to SWG when it tried to cater to the mainstream crowd. They made Jedi a selectable class.

    Want to be unique? Mix match armour instead of relying on the dungeon ones.

    I got a mesmer that looks like a swordsman.

    I got a work in progress elementalist that will look like a winged monster.

    And currently a work in progress caveman with bone weapons.

    The last thing we need is more cash gambling on games.

    Or go the other direction and every 1/10 copies gives you only gimped characters that are unique because you are missing ablities everyone else has.  Wouldn't that be sweet!  :p

    The Idea is good but sadly it sucks if you can't obtain the same thing ingame.

    If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
