Just a though about a possible solution to the still aggravating issue regarding the gemstore’s black lion chest and the tormenting RNG.
The idea is to add “Premium Black Lion Chests” which are only obtainable through the gemstore. The chests will provide the exact same contents of the normal Black Lion Chests with the exception of 1 thing.
Instead of being riddled with annoying RNG they will provide a “Token of Appreciation” to players who don’t obtain a unique item or item token. Which in turn 3-5-10 tokens can be traded in for another token like the Molten alliance weapon tokens, or maybe even more for the exceptionally rare contents from the chest.
The reason i think these 2 versions of the chests shall be separate is because the normal one is obtainable in the game world while the keys are farmable with new chars. While the Premium one can only be obtained through the gemstore.
