> How is this different from buying baseball cards, pokemon cards, etc.? You can trade your cards with other players, or buy/sell them with local vendors. This gives you the option to pay money to get the exact cards you want. You can't do the same in most games with lootboxes. If I have an extra item that you want, tough luck. You need to continuously give money to The Man in hope that you'll get the item you need.
