I think people are expecting too much from Lucky Boxes. Remember NGD has always said that premium items will not imbalance the game? Well, if Lucky Boxes gave items that were significantly better than what can be looted, then people who cannot afford them would be at a significant disadvantage. IMO, Lucky Boxes should be for those who don't want to grind for hours to find a very good weapon. They should not be for people who want a huge advantage of people who don't buy ximerin.
For the record, I have bought a lot of ximerin, mostly for XP scrolls, one Scroll of Mastery, and horses before we could rent them with gold. I recently bought one Platinum box, and was quite happy with what I got. I was fortunate to get something that fits my class, and was of high quality. But I don't want the money I spend to make me more powerful than someone who can't afford ximerin and has put in long hours grinding for their equipment.
