Drop rates from Black Lion Chests...
And you needed to start your own thread to rant about this as oppose to chime in on any of the other ones because…

I don’t understand why they made these account bound. We sell/buy permanent contracts, unlimited tonics, minipets and other rare goodies that come from black lion chests. Why would they not make them like the holloween skins, which were sellable, why now are they not able to be bought from the bltc? Why make it so the ones that are willing to blow money on them can’t get one after opening 100’s of chests( kitten them off), yet those that dont even care about them can pull out a ticket on their 1st try (they can’t sell it, and would rather have a stack of gold then a skin they don’t want).
Does this make sense?
They need to stop making skins rgn baised around no other method then spending $100+.
Especially these:
Each festive dragon coffercommonly contains candy and fireworks, rarely contains fortune candies and recipes for fireworks launchers, and even more rarely contains weapon skins
Get packed for the return to Southsun Cove. An assortment of souvenirs from the Southsun islands. This chest contains Southsun crafting materials and a chance to get a wide variety of items such as shoulder skins, new boosts and conveniences, and a rare chance to get new weapon skins and mini pets.
ATTENTION ANET: You better not make these skins account bound. I paid $60 for this game and i don’t like being excluded from new content. You’re allowed to have the cashshop, to exclude monthly fee/expansion fees to me. HOWEVER, you are not to make skins excluded from me out of the realm of possibility, they should be sold for gems at an exchange rate, or i should have a way to get them through trading post. Yes make them expensive and rare, i like that. But do not exclude content from me by making these skins account bound, because i dont pull out my wallet. I GAVE YOU MY $60 ALREADY. There is a trading post for a reason.
That is all.

My question is, I have boxes still from launch time (don’t feel like buying keys, doesn’t seem like much of a deal since I have so many boxes). Are those boxes just going to contain crappy early stuff like boosts and tonics? I’m guessing they don’t magically change if they’ve been in my inventory for months, do they.
The general consensus is that the items in them are determined at the time they are opened, not dropped.
Chests are cheap, 4-5c each, it’s the keys that will cost you.

No key = no open. Eventhough they will most likely still contain the same crap, they do still have that small chace of containing a rare ticket/skin, since these blc are tradeable on the trading post, there is no way to tell which are old and which are new, they are all the same. The contents will be determained when you open it.
I’d have bought some fused weapon tickets if they were reasonably priced on the gem store. Maybe 800 gems a skin. You’re not getting any sales from me with this black lion chest RNG nonsense though. Whether anet would make more money appealing to the majority of their playerbase rather than a small handful of whales, who knows. I do know that one method is much less likely to kitten people off.
