Thank you for another wonderfull event, full of gambling boxes. Once again, after all the fat cash i have thrown at you during my whole game time(well above 1k euro total), i have pleasure to get bit fat [edited] from lootboxes, while i watch people all around(even in my clan) rubbing their luck in my face. Ive knows people that won 1, 2,4 ships from just latest black boxes. All i get is THREE. LITERALLY THREE camos, or AT BEST 5k FXP. The hell is this crap? 

Sorry for the rant, but at this point i am disheartened, and i need to vent it somewhere... I have supported this game heavily since the beggining of open beta. I have tons of premium ships, and about 25% TX ships all with premium camo. And at this point i feel heavily disheartened, watching players(very often free ones) all around get chain luck...  Am i just stupid, feeding WG with my cash, to get nothing at all? Cause atm i do feel like a total donkey... 

Sorry for the rant, take care WoWs community.

You rage cause you got nothing out of the free black friday boxes?

Noice.

He rages because he feels entitled to have a guaranteed top prize as he has a big wallet.  :Smile_veryhappy:

Look at my signature. Every non-cursive ship is a ship I got for free (as in: non monetary way). As a F2P player to boot... That must be the horror for you!

That being said, he has a point.

And people posting on the forums how they got big prizes is exactly why people spend literally hundreds of €€€ in the game cancer (and I use the term very clinically here) that is lootboxes.

And that's the reason why I don't buy stuff except for some low-cost low-tier ships... So in total I have maybe spent € 100.- or so since buying ships to get into the beta... no need to rage about not getting stuff from free (!) containers.

 

But I am very thankful for You spending Your money to keep this game alive. It's people like You who make it possible for me and most others here complaining about Your rant to play the game. So just ignore them.

Please spend more money and feel free to rant whenever You want on this forum...

Err. I don't see the point in your post OP. Yes the Loot Boxes are heavily in debate. Even in politics. Though being a matter of opinion I don't think WG is over stretching the lines in lootboxes: the "prizes" you can gain from them are clearly stated. Now the "banned ships" from Christmas boxes are the only ones I find fishy in their politics. But other than that I don't see any problem with the other presented boxes. AFAIK wows as a FTP game is actually perfectly playable without spending a RL dime. However they can't work and go for free. So the gesture of people by their free will willing to pay for things and thus get rewarded isn't that unfair. And drawing a rare prize from a free container, which all players can win (P2P or FTP all the same) is something I don't mind. Nobody's forcing you to buy things. So, only the banned ship thing I mentioned, I don't see any objection in the monetization WG is implying in this game. All is by free will.

Why didn’t you just buy the black ship you wanted. Almost the same price as what, 6 boxes anyway....

I don't understand either.

 

(also, I won an asashio black out of the (free) crates. Just saying)

Don't expect profit from gambling and you won't get disheartened in the future. Most people lose out on gambles and you aren't buying yourself to better luck, just buying some excitement before you've revealed the gambled objects. It's really that simple.

At least wargamings lootboxes contain stuff thats “valued” at whatever price you paid for them, and if you’re lucky you get something special. Other games has lootboxes that contain absolutely nothing... its your choice whether you want to buy a box with a chance to get something expensive....

Reminds me of the line from Ready Player One (Movie) :

 

" And that was when I realized that... as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also... the only place that... you can get a decent meal. Because, reality... is real."
