Lucky Boxes: Happy or disappointed?

Mattdoesrock · 01-10-2009, 04:35 PM

Recently there has been alot of who har on the forums about lucky boxes... Problems with them.. Possible bugs... Unsatistifed customers.. The works.

So this poll is to see just how many people have:

A) Bought boxes,
B) Are satisfied with their purchase,
C) Or are unsatisfied.

I bought 4 Plat. boxes and, as I stated in a post somewhere, was unsatisfied. Two were junk, one magical item was ok, but no better than a special item, and was good goodish, but not useable by my subclass.

I posted I have not bought them. I was going to; however, all the people I know have received crap items from them so I choose not to waste my money.

I think NGD shuld take note of this poll - and not just for those who vote that they are happy/unhappy with their items.

The number of those who haven't bought is also interesting, because there might be many people (like Comp) who won't buy them because of the complaints about useless items.

I picked not happy!
Unfortunately Im not happy with any of the of the lottery tickets i got in my life either.
No point of a lucky box if it would automatically give what you needed.

Even if i think NGD appreciate feedback on their premium items, i dont think they need a poll to see if its bad selling item or not.
I think its a fairly successful item, considering there are so many disappointed buyers.

I dont think it should be improved or made cheaper, maybe they should just change the name so everyone understand that it is a gamble to get one.

It is an £8 ($15) lottery ticket, with a poor chance of getting a useful virtual item.

You can euphemise it all you want; i call it a rip off!

I never bought a lucky box but opened several from the Christmas event and was disappointed! Glad I didn't buy any.

I think you have decent chance to get a very good item and good chance to get a nice item. You will most likely be disappointed if you look for specific piece.

In two years of grinding i havent got anything really good for my main characters, i think 7-8 euro is a fair prize and quite easy way of getting something good.

I bought 4 (costing about $60) - and i use none of the items, so i hope you can see why i feel a little cheated.
