Yes exactly, or give them away to other players.

I mean, of course I know why they can't allow that, who's going to trade all those things over for one? Support would have a full-time job on their hands doing that alone I would imagine for all the players PoE has.

But... wouldn't it be awesome to arm everyone in the game with scorpions, raven wings and ebony footprints? Ah, one can dream, right? :P

This.
Okay I'm not buying Boxes anymore I so many Fireworks that it almost made me want to quit playing. I mean 11 fireworks, 2 Gloom Gloves, 1 Ebony Glove . I really hate those troll fireworks. Also want to add on this Box is just as bad as the winter ones where you get like 5 fireworks to 1 actual MTX that can be used.

I spent $40 i believe so far and got...
3 - Obsidian Seraph Boots
1 - Obsidian Chest
2 - Obsidian Glove
1 - Gloom Helment
1 - Bandana
1 - Iron Maiden
1 - Arc of Defiance
1 - Gloom Herald Effect
1 - Steam-powered back pack
1 - Raven Wings
rest in fireworks....

the duplicate armor skins make me cry....could totally complete Obsidian if i could trade the spares and possibly make the Gloom set :(

Next pay period i might get lucky with Gloom Wings!

Even at a glance you came out of top. Totaling up the cost of MTX (disregarding duplicates) you're easily over 600 points in sale prices.
It should be called Dark Firework box, out of the 23 boxes (57.50USD/80AUD) I bought here is the contents. Dark Firework x8 stacks, Dark Firework(HO), Rain x2 (HO), Dark Crystal x3, Ebony Scorpion, Ebony Footprints, Ebony Weapon Effect, Black Hole Portal Effect x2, Gloom Herald Effect, Arc of Defiance, Bandana and Obsidian Seraph Helmet. Fock you GGG last time it was skin transfers.
Hey everyone

I thought that I'd share how fortunate, no blessed I've been when it comes to spending around $65USD on these boxes! I spent the money over the course of a couple of days and what I found was astonishing!

The more you spend, the more likely you are to get the same item! Let's take a look at the VARIETY of the boxes I received!



You can clearly see that RNGesus wants lots of money before he's willing to give you anything of any inherent value. 7 sets of fireworks??? Everyone wants the wings and that's what people are mostly paying for. I've only seen one person with the wings since release. It's like they've made certain items harder to get...

I'm kind of pissed off that they've rigged it this hard. There's people posting on here that have spent thousands without 1 set of wings. I have a sick feeling in my stomach about playing PoE now. Their greed is repellent.

Cheers
No one can hear you poop in the forrest.

No, your inability to deal with randomness is repellent.

And I've seen plenty of folks with the wings, both in my guild and in town.

And, if your only goal is the wings, have some patience and buy the damned things from the store.

Here's a great reddit post with links, and Qarl provided some relevant articles as well for understanding randomness.

@Archwizard:

Seriously, stop insulting people with other conceptions of ethics than yours as being too stupid to know randomness.

I hope you will get your Alpha status soon and your pointless defense and **** ******* will stop at that point.

edit: It's not even about ethics, it's simply about how to treat and satisfy customers.
