Before I say anything I would like it to be clear that I don’t buy gems as I prefer to actually feel like I’ve earned rewards I get in game (which is a hard enough feeling to come by in this game) but I would rather not see the company running this game throw a wrench in their own source of income.
If you really want to insist on using these RNG boxes for weapon skins ANet then at least refine the system. Seems to be far too many people just getting annoyed with the lack of result on $50-$100+ of rich coffers.
The simplest solution I can think of to this would be to replace the largest bulk buy option on the trade post with a single chest containing a larger quantity of loot. Set the loot from this one large box to always contain 1 ticket along with something around 20 other randomly rolled results (which may or may not contain chances at more tickets).
The system currently being used for these boxes has more and more people every event saying they’re never touching the cash RNG boxes again. A guaranteed chance at a ticket will easily entice a lot of people who just want to have one skin and you’ll probably even have some players with way too much cash in their pockets buying enough to get the full set because they KNOW they’ll get it when they’re done.
