"The worst night market, possibly artificially manipulated" - Valorant community unhappy with randomness in the new Night Market

After the introduction of the Night Market in the game, the Valorant community has begun actively discussing its contents. On the Reddit portal, many users are complaining that this night market has become the worst for them compared to past events.

Let's recall that yesterday, another Night Market opened in the Valorant client. This is an in-game event, during which each user has access to personal discounts on 6 random skins. Read more about the event in our material. Despite the fact that the contents of the night market are unique for each player and generated randomly, the community is massively complaining that this time, it seems like the chance of getting good skins is manipulated.

The worst Night Market ever, I honestly don't think I've seen a worse night market in this game, I just need a new cool vandal, why do you have to make such a fuss for me.

Users also have their own theories that the night market system itself is manipulated and completely tied to in-game purchases. Players believe that if you have a good purchase history in the game client and often spend money, then the night market will be more favorable and bring good skins. This means that the algorithm works in such a way that the Night Market, on the contrary, makes players spend more money.

Something tells me that the algorithm might work in a way that suits Riot's goal – to make people spend more money on skins, rather than less. Although actually, this is quite fair, since, after all, it is a work of art.

Let's remember that this Night Market will last until January 9, 2024. In the available pool of accounts, which are available for purchase, skins cannot be more expensive than 1750VP for firearms, and 3550VP for melee weapons. For each player, the market content is unique, so there is no point in complaining that someone has better skins than you.
