I spent $20.00 got nothing. Won’t be falling for it again. The drop rates for a cash item need to be rewarding.

Exactly. I can see them being rare drops at that % of a drop, but for something I give them money for I feel a bit kitten off. I had every upgrade for GW1, every costume, content pack, etc. 12 character slots, all storage slots, TONS of cash shop stuff.

I have currently bought 1 bag slot on my main and 4 bank slots for my account. I am no stranger to giving Anet money, but if this is how crap is going to be with the chests and if there is no reward for shelling out cash, then I’m not gonna even bother anymore.

Thannis.9021:

Honestly, the way the drop rate is now for the new skins, you probably had the same chance to find one last night than today lol.

And this is pretty much 100% true.

Well I think there was a bit of a notice, but it was misleading at best. At least you (hopefully) didn’t waste 50$ and all of your in game money on keys expecting a cool skin.

Sanarian.9614:

Yeah, the drop rate seems to be lower than a percent. It’s probably more worthwhile to just buy the skins off the TP with the drop rate. Not worth it.

Yeah when I spent 50 dollars and all of my in game gold I was excited to see what I’d get. When I opened the chests and got nothing but the standard crap that would just sit in my bank I was pretty kitten off to say the least.

I really disagree with RNG based crap like this for event items. All it does is cause greedy kittens to hoard the stuff and try to control yet another market on the trading post.

Not a single thing from black lion chests. My game updated, I have candy corn in my bags. I spent 50 USD and 10 gold (all I had in game) on black lion keys and didn’t get a single skin.

People in my guild have opened 1 chest and got a skin that they instantly sold for upwards of 20 gold.

Enjoy my cash, Arena Net.

Edit: Also, 1g = 73 gems right now, so that’s pretty cool too.
