But if the stall was prominent enough, maybe mentioned in the shop, it would hurt him in the long run as the newbies might have a better idea of the value of their shop items and a good place to trade them up. However, I'm not sure if this is a mechanic we'd want. It kinda negates all the random nature of some of the store boxes. I suppose it all depends what we put in this theoretical stall and the exchange rate of tokens. We wouldn't be putting legacy items in it, but maybe other store items.
i see the problem when a new player wants a nice weapon, buys weapon boxes and gets 5 Canes so he could trade the 5 canes at the stall for other items like a Redcoats Musket or a Sword
maybe JC could also just place every or some individual item in the shop instead of making a box that has 30 different hats and when you try to get a specific one u have to buy 50 boxes, same for weapons, tools or furniture
There are actually a ton of ways how a newbie can get ingame cash from real cash. (And buy a nice weapon with that cash)
The safest way is probably to just buy silver for real cash, though that won't get you much for your bucks.
The second safest way would be, to trade with some trusted trader and just buy from the shop what they want, this though requires already a good bit of knowledge on the forum and the game.
Anyways, if you have a box with random content, then it is though not nice but totally valid to have blanks besides valuable items.
