well if you have read any of the post that has 800+ replies. the general consensus is that the devs took advantage of their addiction to gambling and they prayed on the weak. and now the ones that are “spitting venom” are now in game using exploits to block other players from enjoying the other 90% of the event. the BLC were just a small fraction of the event and now we can’t enjoy the rest.

that’s not the general consensus, that’s you highlighting the posts you handpick.

I agree. General rule of humanity: when something goes wrong you tell 8 people, when something goes good you tell 3 or something along the lines of that. I half pay attention in class lol. Those posts with 800+ posts are probably all the same people arguing with each other and their mothers anyways. blah

I’ve played plenty of free to play games with a cash shop that sold packs that dropped rare stuff at a really low rate. Like REALLY low. It ranged from .01%-.03%. It’s like 50 bucks for a 100 or something. I’ve opened over 7000 of these packs and didn’t get a single rare item lol (on a private server of course). Barely anyone complained because they knew the risks. If you’ve opened 5 black lion chests and didn’t get anything don’t you think that either the rate is low or you’re unlucky? At what point do you realize “oh gee the rate is low” yet some people continue to open 10, then 15 then 20 then 30 packs :/. That’s called stupidity or addiction.

Furthermore from a business standpoint, if ANET were to make the drop rate 100% then they would definitely not be making good profit. It also makes these rare drops from these chests more ‘rare’. Hey it gives you something to work for right? Weren’t people complaining about the longevity of the game? Go farm gold or something and get more keys. If you got everything right away you’d run out of things to do and gosh i do not want to see anymore of those threads lol.
