We are waiting on everyone's feedback from the form, then finalizing the revisions that I outlined previously and then we will set the drop live.
In the original post (http://dro.ps/bluebag) I outlined just what we will be doing in order to address the concerns raised by you and everyone else. The future Blue Box drops will be structured in a way that addresses the lack of randomness and the perceived value, we are also removing any comparisons to MSRP as we agree that it's a misleading metric to gauge value.
Let me know if you have any other questions, I would be happy to address them.
In your post, you say that, "overall, we believe that with the first Massdrop Monthly Magic Blue Box, the value that users received in their boxes were reasonably representative of the amounts that was charged, accurate relative to MSRP amounts... " I'd like to take a break here to point out that it's very clear that an overwhelming majority of participants clearly disagree with this statement. Yes, it is nice that you folks are offering partial refunds to rectify the matter now but on who's end did this lie? As consumers, we clearly felt like we weren't delivered the service that this site was intended for. Forget the actual specific items that were in the box for a moment but consider the value of what was in it. How will this issue be fixed in the future, specifically? You go on to say, "Future blue box offerings at that level will be calibrated to have a little more product value in them to make them more worthwhile." Personally, I think future drops for this would be more successful if it's explained to us how this is going to be fixed in relation to cost vs product value received. More product as in "accessories" that the players of the community aren't going to use, (such as dice sets geared towards DnD or painfully clear overstock of toys that the vendor needs to move to make money), more variety from box to box? Is that determined solely by the vendor or do you folks have input? Is there a way that perhaps those folks that buy in could vote on said extras? That way the community can still be surprised by what they receive but feel more valued because their input was taken into consideration.
Sorry for the lengthy reply. As you can tell, there are clearly people that are not only passionate about this hobby but their money going into it as well.
TLDR: This drop in particular needs an active curator and MassDrop representative. Future drops need to have more participant involvement The Dollars have to add up even if you dont state MSRP the internet is a thing I think people would be willing to trade wait Time for a small Vote of customization I think Stretch goals should reward everyone and at the highest goal then raffle a booster all raffle winners should be announced at drop close Seriously guys Transparency Ban Deriums from being in the vendor pool Keep a closer eye on the supply chain (Bird Dog those Guys) so MassDrop doesn't get a black eye Remember MTG Peeps are Astute and Picky. Fix this in the future like actually maximum effort the shit out of the fix (Mabey look on the internet for similar things) Also No Freaking Cardboard Crack gha that is just not something i ever want to sit down and page through.
Be Transparent about what's offered and/or how they are picked
Make the dollar go further - whether this is value for what's offered, ACTUAL usable accessories, or a combination of both
Let the folks that participate in the drop feel a bit involved
