Coupons To Crates?
Sorry if this specific idea has been mentioned but I haven't seen it around.
How about being able to exchange coupons for crates?
Something like 5 Coupons for 10 GP Crates or 10 Coupons for 10 ZP Crates?
I have noticed alot of people who have the perm coupons weapons and dont want temp weapons and also people who have 100 coupons and cannot purchase any more crates because of this.
Allowing people to use coupons to buy crates and have a second chance at other crates will free up some of the 100 coupons.
Also, come to think of it, what about BP to swap for ZP crates? Even if they are a high BP price like 10,000BP for 10 ZP crates. There are alot of people with huge amounts of BP just going to waste as there is nothing else useful in the BP market.

I think the problem with this is that it is like getting zp from zp/gp crates.
1st: that would give the chance that someone always gets the needed amount of coupons to get another 10 crates. (When I was spinning crates I've got 80 coupons from 100 crates.)
2nd: It would give the chance for non-paying people to buy zp crates and Z8 can't afford that.
If they do something like this, then it will be only for gp crates imo. -

Getting enough GP to get 10 or 20 (or more) coupons without paying would be really long, as you get an average of 1 coupon per 10 GP crates, or less. -

There you go, moved it for you.
Anyway, I really have no comments on this. I assume that it won't happen though, mostly because a coupon sink is more or less the temporary weapons available. and the coupons are a bonus you get from spinning crates like the BP is a bonus you get when buying ZP. You can't buy ZP with BP and I believe the same will always apply for the coupons too.
Same goes for your other suggestion too, the GP crates that you can buy with BP should stay and not get switched to ZP crates because BP is a bonus you get from purchasing ZP. Though, I wouldn't be sad if more GP crates got added to the BP mall. :] -
This idea makes no sense, and I will tell you why. You need to open crates to get coupons. And you want to use these coupons to get more crates? This is basically the same as saying, "Hey, I want free crates". It doesn't work that way.
Coupons are meant to be blow-softener for when your luck with opening crates lets you down. With them you can still get some excursive prizes, even when the prize you were aiming for was denied. -

In the same way you can need to open a GP crate to win a GP Gun, and every GP crate you open you win GP, so then you can buy more GP crates?
Seems like the pretty much the same thing to me, expect instead of winning more GP to buy GP crates, sometimes you win a coupon, which could in theory have an option to buy a small number of ZP crates for a high coupon count.
Admittedly 10 Crates for 10 coupons is way too low. Maybe 25-30 coupons. and people aren't going to win that many coupons in 10 crates to keep going around in circles.
As always, its about making people happy by giving more choice in what to spend coupons on. If people hold 100 coupons because they have all the guns they cant spend ZP on crates. If you give another way to spend coupons they can then buy crates and spend more ZP. -

Right because spending GP on GP crates to get more GP to spend on more GP crates makes no sense either. Stop throwing free crates at me Z8!! AHH!!
As for the Original Suggestion. Won't happen because, as many people have already said, it's a bonus item. The developers will want to keep bonus items separate from what they want you to pay for. I mean, think of it this way: Selling the BP weapons you are "gifted" for GP. Pretty stupid and spammable for those BP rich people, eh?
Keep up the suggestions though. -

Keep up the suggestions though.But we're not just talking about GP crates here, now are we? OP wants to buy ZP crates with coupons as well. Coupons he can basically win from opening GP crates. This would make ZP crates free, rather than something people would have to pay real money for.
Now sure, GP crates don't give a lot of coupons, but that doesn't matter. You can still use the GP earned from playing to buy GP crates, win coupons and then use them to pay for ZP crates everyone else has paid real money for.
That's not just unfair to the paying customer, that's business suicide. -

This makes more sense that what the OP posted! -

Btw, some people don't buy ZP and instead they do surveys to earn free ZP, so you cannot say that people always pay for ZP. I think this idea is great because when someone has collected all the weapons in the coupon exchange, the coupons are therefore useless so this makes it more useful. This also allows people who never buy ZP and don't do surveys, an opportunity to try new things. -

Usually you are forced to pay for something of equal value or download crap that will throw so much advertisement at you, it pays itself.
2. That is why G4box has put exclusive 30/60/90 day temp weapons in Coupon exchange. So that coupons do not become useless.
3. Free loaders do not deserve the same opportunities as paying customers. The paying customer is what this game runs on, and allows free loaders like you to play for free. As soon as free loaders get equal opportunities as the paying customer at receiving rewards, being a paying customer loses its value, this game loses its income, and free loaders will lose their game. -
Some surveys actually do give out things for free.. Some of them in Z8Games.Gamecoins via the sometrics option (Gamecoins banner) have surveys that give 960 zp a survey. Only bad side I'd see is the amount of time wasted from doing these surveys.1. It's a false notion that surveys give out ANYTHING for free.

But I'm not one to judge. I think the idea of switching coupons back to crates is a pretty bad idea and won't be implemented. -
And with "OP" you mean you, right?
I do indeed.3. Free loaders do not deserve the same opportunities as paying customers. The paying customer is what this game runs on, and allows free loaders like you to play for free.

Agreed.
To be honest when I posted I wasn't thinking of people that don't contribute real money to the game. I was only thinking from my point of view as a paying customer.
Paying customers need incentive to buy ZP, to obtain things which are exclusive and not simply available to everyone.
