It would be nice to get new supply caches to replace the old ones in our inventory instead of the c-bills. Come on PGI, can we do it?

And that's just why it won't happen.

And this is exactly why they should convert instead of selling.. this kind of dedication should be rewarded...

I just hit 100 myself. I see this as an opportunity for PGI to create some good will amongst us dedicated supply cache hogs. Its too boring to just pay us out. Imagine the youtube videos of people opening up 100's of supply caches all at once. Its glorious.

Supposedly the new ones are an improvement on the old ones in terms of what they give. So they're not the same value. They're giving you the value of what your current caches are worth. Which is fair enough in my opinion.

Based on what they've been saying about the new caches, that would be entirely unreasonable.

Surprised Keys aren't getting converted to boxes though.

Good will for the supply cache hogs, but a negative reaction from everyone who actually used the old system as it was intended instead of hoarding boxes in hopes they could reap extra benefits out of a new system. What they are doing is exactly what they should be doing.

I have mixed feelings about this. One one hand, I will miss them, on the other, one less thing to fuss over.

How is not using loot boxes a sign of dedication?

Not using them is a sign of reason and common sense :)

I'd personally like old boxed converted to new ones, but not having to sell them manually is something I can live with too.

Well you're dedicated to NOT use MC on them, except with free keys perhaps... that alone, even being contrary to PGI's wallet, should be worthy of respect, no?

It's making a statement..

I just opened the damned things when I had keys and then sold off the inevitable 2 small lasers I'd get from it. Or sold them when I didn't have keys.
