No RNG and double price
Would I buy whatever they come up with? No of course not, a lot of it I have no interest in no matter how it’s acquired.
But I would buy some things. The Wintersday Box minis for example. I refused to even try for them because there were too many downsides and not enough to make it worthwhile. But I’d gladly pay double for them (and buy 2 sets so I could get the quaggan too) if it was a straight sale.

I never pay RL money on RNG,but I do buy stuff like the mining pick.
Same here. Haven’t bought a Black Lion Key in my life, and I am never going to.
But for stuff that I can guarantee will be useful to me? Yeah… I’ll drop $10 here and there. Still winds up cheaper for me than most MMO subscriptions.

Honestly, would you buy whatever Anet comes up with that is not RNG box, but it is also double in price?
The question is too vague to answer.
For example, I’m pretty sure that tons of people would be willing to pay the price of 2 Black Lion Keys for most of the rare stuff that’s inside.
And if we’re not talking about Black Lion Keys here, then it becomes even fuzzier. After all, how do you measure the price of an RNG item without knowing the odds? It would be rather silly to ask whether someone would be willing to pay twice the TP price for an item, after all.
And personally, I rather like the Black Lion Keys. To me they act as a mechanism that enforces that certain skins stay rare. I can’t even remember the last time I saw someone with a Fused weapon and I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a Sclerite weapon. On the other hand, I see Legendaries on a daily basis.
