Everyone I know loves to loot chests. Such a nice habbit. Heck Borderlands built it’s entire franchise off of Infinite loot that goes on and on and on and on and on….
I think whoever is making the calls about pricing on items isn’t intune with A: Their value. B: The Greater Percent of Customers finances ( not many can spend $400/mo. just for /.1% of the games design layout). Almost everyone I know has hundreds of these things with zero intention of opening them at $2 a pc.. Heck @$.25/key is honostly overpriced when you consider 10/day and its % of consumption of the game. It’s like chests are what % of the games content ? 1% ? 2%? 5%? Weighing those percentages and what AN wants us to spend daily I’m guessing their message currently is spend $500/day( worst case average but nonetheless statistically a factional reallity. Now on the other end maybe they’ve got theirselves convinced that everyone will save those chests for 4-48 months and eventually get around to saying awww I wanna see what I can get out of those. But that’s a horrible horrible horrrible idea if so simply because the only content they contain is 90% effective only while leveling and grinding.
SOOOOOO. Long story short everything related around these chests is horribly mismanaged in every concept. Guess they’re will someday be 999,999,999,999,999 black lion chests on the trader rofl

on the trader and rising. Next month they’re will be 2.5 million LOCKED chests on the trader. Average person on a good average day of play can gain 10+ chests. That’s up to $350 a month your asking your customers to pay for these silly minor pixelated fantasy land buffs and perks. How is it that the simple concept of making items affordable means you can sell 1000x more. Henry Ford understould this. If an item is FREE and you can sell it to 5% of the poplation for $1 when does the lightbulb turn on that 90% of population may purchase it if it’s priced at $.20 for astonishing profits and increased sales?
I paid $80! And YES. Great game. Superb release. Very few bugs. One of the best releases I’ve played and I"ve played most mmo releases in the last 14 years. I think of the hundreds and hundreds of events I’ve been thru and only a few were bugged / broken is astonishing ( many of these has since been fixed even ! ) So worth every dime and more IMHO. I’ve played hundreds of hours and have only scratched the surface when you include all the alts I have and yes alts are fun! The learning curve around gameplay and how diferent weapons change each classes playstyle is awesome but can be slightly confusing at first to understand just how much they alter gameplay feel for certain classes. Overall a very impressive game.
