If you own the squad it’s from you can buy the item without unlocking it from the box.
i mean i manage to change all my jap faction cooler pants thanks to this so is this intentional?
…yes…
Yeah, nothing like spending 300 in gold to win clothing you can buy for anywhere between 30 and 120 gold. It would be far more practical for us the players if they just reopened the BP store and let us buy what we wanted.
Gaijin knows enough of us will just keep pumping money into the fleecing box, so why should they stop? Why would they let us buy what we want when they can milk the shit out of players giving out feeble happy meal toys we could buy for pennies on the dollar compared to what you waste in the fleece chest. 
Gaijin is essentially becoming a parasite, and we’re allowing it. 
I feel the golden crates could use a price deduction, perhaps down to a price from 60-100 a pop, 300 feels overkill to me.
