On the recent loot box change.
#19
The puzzles were, imo, a very bad way to solve the issue of loot crates being rushable. It has nothing to do with the actual game, doesn't actually challenge you in any meaningful way (hangman solvers are trivial to use, and the number game is Solved and basically a gamble), and it supplements the already existing task of going out and finding the things. Part of the design ideals of the rework was to make them desirable items, something that's not *disappointing* to get. For mining this works great, and is supposed to give that instant gratification that opening a box in videogames is so good at, and crates you want to just leave to sit there because the time-benefit ratio of solving a number puzzle isn't worth it isn't a meaningful loot item.

Debris loot will always be rushable so long as it's in predetermined locations with little danger, and I think to some extent all debris loot items suffer from it. Even then, I think it's better to have fun loot in an unfun location than to have unfun loot in an unfun location, and part of the rushing people do for them must be because they're new, shiny, and have exclusive duds in them. Overall I disagree completely with re-adding the puzzles, I think it'd make the system work worse.
