This could change the price. The urns are not being awarded to the people who value them the most in platinum right now, they're being awarded to the people who are most willing to help hold the camp 24/7 with friends. Plenty of people getting urns likely would not be willing to pay 250k for one.
If all the Urns hit the market, it would cause the demand curve to drop some because you instead allocate the urns more to the people willing to bid up the price in plat, which then takes them out of the bidding and exposes the lower valued part of the demand curve. The loss would be that it would no longer be possible to guarantee an urn without spending plat in a fixed amount of time.
Regardless, the actual win here would be that a roll based system means you don't have to waste everyone's time holding a camp nonstop, you just show up for 5 minutes 100 times or so until you get your urn. The total amount of work necessary from everyone involved to get the same amount of urns go down a lot.
