If the chance was that low, I wouldn't even bother with the cases.

 in real life lottery, there is a even smaller chance to win, but people still pay for lottery tickets.

1. Two lockpicker alts instead of one and your chance to get rare items increase by 50%. Like we need more alts.

2. I'm a bit skeptical that many people would buy a thing without knowing what is inside and with something like 1:250 chance to be able to even open it. If it was to encourage trading this doesn't seem like best way. More like encourage gambling. The only good reason seems to be rare items, but then it's really tiny chance 1:250 * chance to get rare.... also see 1.

3. Trading. If you traded a suitcase yourself, you don't know if you can open the suitcase or if you tried to open it in the past when you see someone trading one. You would have to meet with the person only to check it. For seller that means risking suitcase, possibly for nothing (wasting time), each time someone wants to buy it. I don't think this could work in practice. You would be limited to people you trust, or more likely just your gang storing all suitcases in one place, which seems to me counter productive if you want to encourage trading.

1. no lockpick skill needed and process of s.suitcase opening should not be related to lockpick skill. Again, it is not "minigame" for lockpicker chars, it should support player vs. player barter, trades. If players would be motivated to trade s.suitcase among others, they will trade more regular stuff too, because they coulduse this suitcase trade opportunity to buy/sell their storages.

2. rare items.. gauss pistol, Bozar (even long rifles can be dismantled in object of size of suitcase).

3.I understand it. But in PvP trade, you have to use your social skills, not only "passive char atributes". I agree that you have chance to rebuy your used suitcase, but chance would be minimal and it is part of the game. Chance for clever traders :) fail for greenhorns.

All potential PvP places are welcome  :P

Maybe later, i would like to see players at different places, not only at warzones.

Slaver Snipe:
How exactly would this encourage players to do more trades with regular stuff?  Only an idiot would be willing to trade items of real value for a minor chance to get rare items, especially if that suitcase may end up with just a 10mm pistol in it?

I could see this being of value if players could put their own items into a suitcase with a number lock.  The suitcase would need to say what it has in it when you examine it (unrealistic but needed)  and would allow people to trade in relative safety with each other with them radioing/using IRC/PM on forum the code after they are safe.  (Yes you could still be trolled by a person and killed after giving them your case but you would enjoy the satisfaction of knowing they would not get the item/caps in said briefcase.)
