The new loot boxes are actually scamming us, and GGG doesn't even care.

I bought some boxes, got a chest armour, didnt get any portals or capes. My guild leader bought 3 and linked what he got in chat, he got the other body armour, no portals or capes.

why would u think its weighted towards portals and capes? We didnt think it was weighted away from them despite not getting them, because its rng and we have sense.
In before "you are not allowed to demand rng to get 1 particular piece after 45lootboxes"

In my opinion it is rigged for maximum profit. It cant be otherwise. GGG cant just make rng to give people more important pieces from lootboxes because that directly damages their wanted profits.

Why is it that people who complain about loot boxes always seem to be the ones who buy them?


Well, there's a stumper...

But actually this thread implies that you're wrong, a number of people indicate they don't like even the idea of loot boxes and are not pleased that they're in the game: I class this as complaining but there's no indication that these people have bought them.

The people who complain about the contents of loot boxes - yes, I'll wager you're right and they probably are the ones who have forked out...

8760 point value from a 3000 point investment, equal to a discount of 66% on the original store price.

Fun fact:
If combinations were not possible, again excluding all duplicates, it would be a total of:
6300 point value from a 3000 point investment, equal to a discount of 52% on the original store price.

As you can see, there's plenty of wings and body armours.

That are almost 3 complete armour sets.

You should set yourself a limit when you give up and wait for the sets to be released later this year.

When you buy gamble boxes you know what you're getting into. That disqualifies it as a scam.

This page clearly makes it seem like each rare item has an equal chance of dropping and each uncommon rarity item has a equal chance of dropping. This is clearly not the case, you are likely to get 5 capes and 5 portals before ever getting wings or chestplates. This is downright DECEPTIVE...


Naaa that's basically MATH ... That's how probability works mate. Just because you got X item doesn't make Y item acquisition chance any different. Both X and Y (being of the same tier) still has the same chance as it did on on round 1.

It's not really a scam if you can't control yourself hell I've bought countless boxes do I blame myself or GGG?

Temptation?

Honestly if your buying those cancer boxes you deserve to be scammed, everyone that buys a gacha box in ANY f2p game is contributing to the rape of that game. They are the sleeziest feature in any cash shop and they all lead to one thing, Perfect World Entertainment, Neverwinter or Archeage incoming next, enjoy.

Honestly cannot think of one word which could be changed to make this post more perfect. Well said!

This is also a classic example of what people who are loaded with cash really don´t know what else they should use their money on.
Or as it is also called for. Classic example if what insane is, and can result in you not having food on your table for the next 10 days is.

The morale of it all, is... Use your head before you buy.
