Legacy (standard) items in shop

EPIC is putting original items that once came free with the game, now in the shop.( I.g.) snowflake’s boost 12/19/23

These were once standard items of the game and free to use. Personally I think this is insane. I know a lot of items are no longer free upon download since the game launched as a free to play years ago, so newer accounts don’t have them.

Not only is this bad because thousands of player were playing long before it was free to play RL and have these items already in their inventory are the main ones who spend money on the game but the newer accounts, the majority of them downloaded this game mainly because it’s free to play, hints they probably are not wanting to spend money on cosmetics. Especially if their not a serious player.

This also takes a slot out of the shop for many who already own these items. A slot that could potentially be something they would buy.

I would think if they were going to put a legacy item in the shop they would at least make it painted or remixed.

Anybody else think this is dumb and sleazy? just make it a free item for players that don’t already have it.

Greedy but dumb, they’re gonna ultimately lose money trying to sell these items.

Any thoughts?

I think Epic is sorta insulting the player base that has these already, saying "we don't care that you bought the game and these are exclusive to you, we're gonna screw you anyway and give this to everybody." Or they don't even realize it's legacy and were like "that's a cool winter item, BAM, now we sell it." Idk either way Epic is stupid.

why?? epic must be planning somthing big, bc a big game like rocket league wouldn’t just throw their game away. They have to have something in mind! Unless they are dumb and they are throwing their game away. 💀

I just started playing and stumbled into all of this mess but for what it’s worth it feels like they are “nerfing” RL so we all start playing the racing instead. I for one have no interest in plying a FN sub-game.

@VeXeD_Prophet me either haha. Here's my thing though, if, and that's a big if, Epic decides to bring out the big guns and realise the alpha boost, or any alpha items for that matter, they better give all the pro players and ballers some sorta rare reskin, otherwise that could create a huge problem in regards to the fact that alpha items are supposed to be rare (and expensive), you only got them for playing the alpha version of the game, so if everyone had them, well, there would be no way to tell who was actually og, and who was trying to be, not to mention the hundreds of dollars people have spent trying to get an alpha items.

I started playing Rocket League after the F2P update, and have been an avid player, as well as an avid spender on the game. I like being able to buy cosmetics and use them. That being said, I totally disagree with legacy items being added to the shop. Even though I don’t have access to them due to me joining later, (and would have loved to have access to them like everyone else) I think this is too much of a slap in the face to the players who actually EARNED the items. The entire point of having the legacy items is out of respect for the players who were there since the beginning. And if this is the road that Epic is going down, what’s stopping them from releasing the Beta and Alpha rewards too? Those are items that players have spent thousands of dollars on! How would they feel if alpha boost was in the shop for 2000 creds💀💀💀

If you have not understood by now that epic will put anything they want in the shop, I'm not sure you have been paying attention. I imagine a lot of f2p users are happy to see new cheap festive items in the shop at Christmas. Stop wasting your time moaning about epic tbh, they are not a democracy. And Free Palestine. ✌️🍉

Doesn't this happen all the time though? There's way too many legacy items for this to rarely happen.

Not typically no. Your legacy items are mainly your boosts, toppers and wheels and some antennas. I’ve played every day for the last 2 years and I always check what’s in the shop usually before I even get home and I’ve not noticed anything one in there until now.. And I could have missed one or two that snuck by me but no this doesn’t usually happen.
