The only reason it worked is because people want the godlike from a crate that's not going to be here for long. We also know that both previous crate's godlike is retardedly rare and extremely valuable. We all know that the crate is absolutely terrible to buy. People are already refusing to sell their oracles, but it makes sense though. It's only going to get more valuable later.
Not only that, but the crate couldn't be obtained in any other way other than spending coins. If Item Crate 3 and Cresent Crate 2 are going to be able to be obtained naturally, then there's less need to buy them since they'll be common to get.
I agree that limited nature of the crates helped it work, but as long as there’s unique guns out there, there’s gonna be a market for it and people after it/after the best possible version of it.
