Only way i be happy with that is if it is one box per day and the 'loot' is not repairable or with 7 day timer from item creation and no trade.
That way premium boxes and regular loot still have more value than the gold bought stuff.

To be honest these boxes is good and fair chance to improve your equipment,
the only problem is that people thought they get über epic items so easily.
To avoid this NGD should have made it max 1 box per week, its a bit irresponsible to let 'mmo-addicts' spend so much money on virtual items.
Since a lot of people seem upset about it they may also end up loosing on this in the long run.

I voted "I have bought Lucky Box/es and I was not happy with the items."
but actually "I have bought Lucky Box/es and I was not happy with the purchase" - spending that much money on a lottery ticket without of knowledge of so small chances of winning.

They should change it a bit...like a window to were you can choose the items from, like you open the box, get a window with like 5 items and then choose the item you like

i've been kicking myself pretty hard about this. I've looked at the ads when i log in on my hunter and decided to try it. I spent $8 on premium for a gold box. ( 8 dollars isn't chump change ) and got a lvl 41 magical knight sword +1% cast speed +3 hit chance and +5 hit chance. I really regret paying for this and wish i hadn't....i want my money back >.<

Got 3 Platinum boxes and I got 2 level 50 conjurer headgear (1 magical and 1 epic) and 1 epic Lord Conjurer tunic. The tunic is the only one good enough for use IMHO. I guess I'm lucky I got something I can use with just 3 attempts.

we have 42 votes from people who bought lucky boxes.
88% are not happy with their purchase.
would be nice to hear if any changes are planned?

I am very suprised of this politic. People are ready to PAY FOR NOTHING! Pay for virtual pleasure...
In a lottery owner must pay for several winners real money (less money than he earn selling tickets). Here we see that owner have not to pay anything. It's a pot of gold! Hey, guys of NGD, hire one jew to make your work more effective! =)

just a lil hypocritical at the last post

you do pay for your own internet dont you?

last time i checked i never gained anything other than virtual pleasure for that. same rule applies

but i agree that paying for virtual items in this game with my own real money is not for me, is why i always walked when everyone else had fancy chocobos to ride
i think one day i had read a very interesting article about second life, how people had spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on their virtual avatars, was pretty in depth and fascinating to me.


edit: and i didnt even have to mention pr0n which is the first thing that popped into my mind about people paying for virtual pleasure LOL.

I pay for two independent internet channels to my house. I do it due to 2 reasons:
1) I gain more money by those channels than I pay for them, hehe.
2) I pay for _information_. As you know, information is the main goods of our century.
As for me, I prefer real pleasure. ^^
