Proposal
My Idea is that RLS could be perhaps made more interesting by Rotating out the Loot found within Rare/Exceptional/Legendary Chests.
Perhaps every 6months (Similar to BF Jetpack Discount) the Deco specific loot in RLS changes around to things that were in them previously before New Horizons even came... lots of things can be added to these chests and Rotated in and out of the pool, the possibilities are pretty endless

Of course big ticket items found in Legendary like the ITV's or Gunship stuff would likely all stay the same, Only Non-usable Deco items would rotate
Justification
Doesn't seem like there should be any reason not allow a small influx of unique/special loot to recirculate the economy once again
This will in turn Raise value of Chests, & provide New loot for New Folks who never had the opportunity to acquire them, as well as older folks who may have missed the opportunity, and just allows for Retired or Resigned items to make a return into the game and in players homes
.
Motivation
As stated above the biggest reason to make this change is to allow less FOMO from missing out on old items that are no longer obtainable.
Some things that come to mind are Miniature Xwing/Tie Fighters Models, Jedi Starfighter & Deathstar Holograms, Several Holonet Databank Terminals
Miniature dolls of various star wars creatures, Many different TCG items like the Tree Planter etc.
There are tons of things im certainly missing here, but im sure it wouldn't be too hard to cycle things in and out, seems like a good idea

If you rotate loot you do not reduce fomo - you just introduce it on a different place.

Also this will only increase prices of these boxes for like 3 days after rotation shift - after that it will be just as before because people will stack those chests unless you make it in a way that old chests contain old loot.

that being said - i dont mind the rotation on the decorations etc. I actually think it it is a good idea - but please not make it 6 months.
Im already annoyed the hell out of the fact that i have to wait one year to get an event specific cosmetic item.

If you want to have them increase in value permanently, you can consider adding a small amount of whatever token currency to the their reward pool
Or some sort of interesting limited uses buff consumable
 
Thanks for your suggestion! We don’t have the bandwidth or interest in adjusting items or rotating them. This adds additional recurring work on the development team we don’t want to take on, and also can unintentionally adjust item values by making scarcity less predictable. Rare items are intended to be rare.

With respect to time gated items, this is an intentional mechanic that allows items to hold value by them only being available for a limited time and to reward players for a particular moment in time on the server’s history. Making them available again reduces the value and intention of time gated rewards, affecting their value as described above. Almost all of these items are tradable and are considered attainable through purchase. You just have to name the right price. That is working as we intend it to.
