Guild Wars 2

So ive opened a total of 188 chests and not seen a single ticket for the fused weapons
Anet i ask u how is it everyone else i know in game has these skins with opening no more then 60 chests, IF the drop rate was even a mere 1%, i should have almost 2 tickets by now.

If someone has to open as many chests as i have to try and get a ticket, its pretty ridiculous.

Insomniack,

I feel your pain, I truly do. As someone that felt duped by the ticket system back during Halloween I can only say that this is the sad part of their gambling system. I person can get 2 tickets opening up five chests and another person such as yourself can get 0 tickets opening up 188.
The gambling model makes them more money but it’s a poor system for customer goodwill. The few that get them easy feel great but those that spend a bunch feel like they have been ripped off.
I am not sure why they insist on keeping with a digital gambling system because at somepoint I feel the government is going to look at it as a gambling.

All I know is I opened 10 chests before spending 120g to get my ticket. Got it on my very last chest. Yay for skin, boo I’m broke

I feel absolutely ripped off, i enjoy this game and have played it since launch, but opening this many chests and getting not 1 ticket, has be changing my opinions about Anet, going from this experience, they are making money from this sort of gambling. I have never in any mmo witnessed such a terrible way of aquiring something in game, where there is a random drop rate. If the drop rate was a set % i should have seen one by now. Like i said 1% drop rate and ive opened 188, hitting 200 chests would be i should have had 2 tickets total. When people get there ticket in less then 5 chests, thats alot better then a 1% chance.

Simple fact is, 188 and i should have had one no excuses.

Odd got 2 out of about 20 chests. Figured they were common with that rate. Guess I was lucky.

I’m sure it does have a set % drop chance. The problem is that each chest has the same % drop chance that is independent of any other chests you have opened. It could have a 1% chance to drop, and it is more likely that you will not see 1 out of 100 drop. Each time you open a chest, you have the same % chance of it dropping, and opening a chest prior to opening the next chest does not increase your odds, your odds stay the same every time.

This is why you can open up 188 chests and not get a drop, because every time you opened one up, the roll landed on a non ticket spot.

Anyways, it took over 400 chests for my nephew to finally get one -.-

Because people keep buying 188 keys in order to open the chests.

At times I wonder if they have a loot table setup similar to monster hunter 3 ’s charm system.. where depending on when you created your save file will determine what items you will see during the course of your play through. Some players will get the cool looking rustshard weapons and others will never ever be able to acquire without deleting their save file and restarting.

400 chests! Wowzers!!

That’s a lot of karma boosters, dyes and mini pets to find space for!!!

I should state that is over 4 accounts as well. Yes, my nephew has 4 accounts, because he likes to play on 4 different servers for WvWvW. So basically he opened 100 chests per account.
