Profession Gear Boxes (Laurels)
We probably need to wait to gather more sample data. Possibly your results were at the bottom of the spectum in terms of luck.
Well, I still felt the thread needed to be made because this is right around the point when people are even capable of affording these boxes.
i know its kittening ridiculous, i opened my two boxes thinking that it was going to be new armor specifically for a guardian and i get two generic rares…
You really should’ve learned your lesson about GW2 and RNG gambling.
Just don’t do it unless you’re forced to, like with Mystic Clovers.
Go for the safe bets; Ascended accessories or Mini Pets. Or anything where you know what you’re getting.
I can do thirty Five-Dolyak Arm Curls.
Do you even lift, bro?

I’m not going to lie – I did it for great science. I probably should’ve saved it for Ascended (as mentioned) but in reality I haven’t even made it past Lv2 and I haven’t run a single Explorable dungeon yet.
I figured since I’m the sort of guy who probably wouldn’t use it in the first place, I’d take the plunge. Wasn’t expecting it to be THAT bad of a ripoff though, since this lower bound seems to be worse than the lower bound of something that only costs 2 laurels (gathering tools).
How are the material bags looking anyways?
If you have a character (or characters) that are in their 70s-80s, and decked out mostly in blues/greens, this this would provide some upgrades, and seems fine for the cost. Otherwise, youre just going to salvage them or sell them on the TP for somone else to do the same thing, and that IS a waste of your laurels.
So, depends on where you are in the game as to whether it’s a “good deal.”

It is hardly “fine for the cost”. Consider that the boxes cost 5 Laurels and the Ascended accessories 30. Even if the boxes cost only 1 Laurel I’d consider it too much. There are just far easier ways to deck out a fresh lvl 80 character than to spend your very limited Laurels on these boxes.

Then do those “far easier” things to deck out your level 80 character and save your Laurels?
I was expecting class specific sets as a chance in there. Will have to gather more data.

Then what’s the point of the boxes? Fool newbies who do not know that they can get easy access to full Exotic gear via AC by saving up their tokens since lvl 35?
That don’t seem right.

Remember when the Karma cost of stuff got changed and then for the first week or so of the game people were kittening and moaning about how much Karma they were going to need to do anything? How many people went and dumped Karma on those Orrian boxes the other day? Laurels are the new Karma. Once you have your Ascended gear and Mini’s and whatever else you want from the Laurel vendor they will just be sitting there growing. Hell, people will probably be on the forums kittening and moaning about having nothing to spend their Laurels on.
You want a guaranteed Exotic? Go and run dungeons.

You were told you’d get level 78 to 80 rares or exotics. You got level 78 to 80 rares or exotics. What is the issue here again?
Anet make Rev great again.
I did the same thing.. Buy the 2 ranger boxes.. What do I get? First, a rare harpoon. Tsk, I already had a rare harpoon, rotten luck.. ok, next.. a … rifle? RIFLE!? Rangers can’t even USE Rifles!
/facepalm
Should’ve waited and got ascended… /sigh

Poor argument. I’m not saying that item X Y or Z is too expensive – I’m saying that Gear Boxes are a straight up noob trap.
Let me repeat it again: a 2 Laurel item, the Gathering Tools, will create a benefit that can equal or outweigh the Gear Box, a 5 Laurel Item. I also said that if the box is going to create such poor drops, it should have its cost dropped, or to have its cost increased and improve the quality and consistency.
Simply put, 5 Laurels is a total ripoff for what it currently grants, especially comparing it against CHEAPER items.
