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 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.

I only spent xim on amun for my hunter (50) and the epic/magical armor/weapons i did manage to get ...umm an odd 20 times out of boredom to see what id get..fearing my 2+ month hiatus for having my baby and stuffing myself with family over the holidays would leave me outclassed since everyone would now have uber weapons..i was less than impressed.

I seen alot with resist cold/light/fire etc with a bonus of 1%

the epic bow i got paled in comparsion to a viper id gotten as a gift along time ago,

and while my current armor is garbage itself (mostly fk armor with dex bonus) id rather go on using what i have than some resist blunt %1 lvl 50 gear.

i realize its a lazy way to get items rather than grind..so i dont feel bad about people who get shammed while trying to take an easy way out :P but...dang..ive just seen mostly crap items from people. what ngd should have done for the price was..make unique items, unobtainable anywhere else, and not just say a dragonwings bow with some random attributes slapped on.

soi would say no, and im glad they DO have amun to try before you buy..or in my case...not buy.

I wanted a piece of gauntlets, i got like 3 leggings 2 helmets, 2-3 breast plates. One helm and leggigns i wear (due to +mana,+dex) the other are CRAP the finest. Theyre arent much better what i weared before but have some 30ac more (lvl 50 instead lvl 42-45). For the amount of real money i put into that: A SHAME. Wont buy any more of them ever.

From reading on the forums and seeing some of the items people have got from the boxes, i am happy i didn't take a gamble and buy some

WolfesteinX · 01-11-2009, 01:07 PM

I dont buy more xyme until they change the loot of weapon drop for the platinum boxes. I spend 80 buck to get a decent bow and dont get nothing more that garbage in the same way with my warcraft ... i hope NGD change the loot of the platinum boxes really...

i thought they were going to do lucky charms instead?

whatever happened to that idea?

would have made more sense..and not the easy way out, to have a wearable (as in equiptable, taking the slot of the pendant) and differing levels of bonus for the price..say 10% 20% or whatever better chances at finding drops or during grinding. that would keep the economy alive in RO rather than just everyone out for themselves and filling ngd's pockets in the hopes of we get what we want.

i dont know why but i am against this, even if the items are crap, items should be earned by hard work (ro work...not i go to work and make money work =)
id rather drool over someones awesome equip he tricked out of someone, grinded ages for, or bargained for, rather than this "everyone with money" can basically build an instant hero if his pockets are deep enough =/

and i have paid here and there for things i like about this game so im not against supporting ngd monetary wise, but i honestly dont think introducing such items will help the RO economy nor ngds.

maybe im just silly and wrong though, just my thoughts.
