Guild Wars 2

Drops seem to be extra poor lately. I opened 52 chests and got about 3 full tickets, bunch of cruddy exp boosters and some worthless dye and other worthless items. I know random and all but geebus.

Unlucky streak or did the expensive items get removed?

If you got 3 full tickets out of 52, then that’s higher than average and is your positive RNG right there. Most people would have only gotten 1 and maybe a partial ticket. At any rate, 52 chests isn’t very many. Rare items drop at a lower frequency.

Really because that seems to be pretty average overall for me. About 2 scraps for every 3 chests.

Normally though in that many chests I usually get something rare like a home harvesting node or a permanent trader or rare dyes. Maybe I been extra lucky before.

But really for something you pay real money for there should be better drops. If this is a normal drop rate I don’t feel it worth buying keys anymore. I’d be better off buying gold and buying skins and items.

This is the normal drop rate, as attested by the drop rate research over the last 3 years (check wiki) and by numerous posts on the forum for the last 3 years. The Black Lion chests are a grab bag of cheap black lion gemstore items and a few other items as a rare drop. No one should buy these gamble keys and expect something good. People should buy them because they like to gamble But they shouldn’t expect to buy any and get something good, because that’s not what they’re about. They are gamble boxes and like any other gamble, the house always wins.
