Fortnite players blast “ridiculous” item shop over rotation issues
PinterestFortnite players are blasting the Item Shop over ridiculous rotation issues in the ongoing season. Here’s what they said.
Fortnite cosmetics are some of the most valuable digital assets in the video game business, with users constantly purchasing them throughout the year. With the game’s long history of renowned cosmetic collaborations and skin rarities, players have spent numerous V-Bucks in the Item Shop to obtain such items for their lockers.
Since its inception, Fortnite has done a daily cycle of cosmetic goods in its Item Shop and has listed certain categories, resulting in a catalog of things for buyers to choose from.
Epic GamesIn Chapter 5 Season 1, the Item Shop garnered considerable criticism from players, with some disappointed by its new problematic design and others believing that the LEGO and Festival modes destroyed the shop for them.
However, as the season comes to a close, users are complaining about the ridiculous shop’s daily item rotations. Here’s what they said about it.
Fortnite players call out “ridiculous” Item Shop for rotating only one item
A Reddit user pointed out that in the Item Shop reset on March 5, 2024, only one item was rotated which was absurd even for the majority of the community. They wrote, “This is ridiculous. One thing changed and it was in the shop 2 days ago. Wow.”
The item in question here is the Evil Plan Icon Series emote which was recently added to the game. Looking closely into the most recent Item Shop reset, Fortnite players had their own thoughts on the matter.
One such user said, “The f**k is the point of having a FOMO business model at this point if we know the same s**t is coming back every 2 f**king days.” Another chimed in, “The shop has felt phoned-in for a while now. I shouldn’t be surprised but this is pretty ridiculous.”
A third user feels “Shops have been terrible again for a while” which assures their “V-Bucks are safe for a while” as they are “sick of seeing the same things over and over and over again.” “Sorry, but 1 new Emote and then nothing new after that!” they said.
Some players criticized Epic Games as the only difference “between yesterday and today is that they removed items. Awesome job Epic.”
