Isn't that what they did? Except to help preserve the "value" if the rare items you still have to get lucky to be allowed to buy them.

If they had a store where you could buy the ultra rare skins for 1000$, that would push down the "value" if the skins more quickly.

The way they are preserving the value is a form of fomo.
