So, the only way to get Tokens is buy them? 

Oh, right, it's a ScamGaming event, my bad.

Hi all,

 

On Reddit they (USA Players) say:

Where are the drop chances? Or did WG forget about a certain promise? Or did they figure out that people don't like gambling as much when they are told the odds?

patch hasn't dropped on EU yet, so it's likely that possible missions will start tomorrow :Smile_sceptic:

Or on friday. However, IF there are any missions, they'd be most likely very Lidl in typical WG fashion.

There are no odds involved. The bundles are random, but sequential. Look at the screens....

 

Edit: Yo wot gunner I'm just informing..... I actually wanted to buy some tokens coz i draw the T9 container. However Agir, Pommern i have dd's I don't play  and in the rest I'm not interested....

Why am I finding it so easy to bridle my enthusiasm for this event.. it.. is.. an event, isn't it? :cap_yes:

Maybe, because the only one having fun in this event is WG? 

We pay, they have fun.

I was having a quick look at this stuff on my NA account at lunchtime; whilst I may need to revise my view with further reading, the costs for each 'possibly a T9 crate' bundle look entirely ludicrous.

 

I'm a monumental whale, but even I think they're taking the pi$$ this time. It's possible I've missed something though.

Okay, I'm having a swift tea break (well, fizzy water break - I've already blown through my caffeine allowance for the day); second visit:

  • No missions for these new tokens, at least not at the moment.
  • Each bundle to earn tokens costs 250 gold (doubloons - you know what I mean); the bulk of the bundles get you 1 (one token), whilst there are 60 available that get you 10, plus another 18 that get you 30.
  • The 'other stuff' in the bundles is mostly of use (xp, silver, premium time), although of varying degrees.
  • You need 100 tokens to get each of the top level bundles, of which only one is the T9 premium container:

image.png.d72d44f4bf72cb1c1432da52cc61edbd.png

  • So, worst case, you need a hundred token earning bundles to open *one* of these top level things; that's 25,000 doubloons.
  • To provide some context, 360 days of premium currently costs 24,000 doubloons, and a T9 premium ship costs 19,300 doubloons (assuming no coupon).

I'm really not seeing how this is a remotely sensible use of doubloons, even if you get the ship container as your first available bundle; what am I missing, if anything?

 

BTW if you want to whale mightily, there are discounts:

image.png.4dfd10f7d4ea7d7cca4dbc3db6977658.png

Only 75 bundles for a mighty 8% off?! The urine extraction is strong with this one...?!

 

I have to be missing something, surely?

So first gamble 250D to get some tokens with the bulk being 10/30 tokens. edit: wrong bulk is single token…
 

Then you gamble those expensive tokens for 100 tokens a try on a secondary slotmachine that has a T9 premium container as one of the possible rewards. And it’s a nerfed T9 premium container with lesser currently available T9’s.

 

It’s WG gamblehouse in overdrive…

It seems easy to forget about this event - I somewhat prefer an easy verdict on the event - either good or bad...so no doubloons/money from me at the first glance at least

I suspect there might be a case for some light whaling if (and only if) the first available bundle is a ship container; but you would have to not care which ship you got from the container...

 

Edit: and not care that you can't play whatever ship you get in Randoms without getting periodically 'subbed'.
