Nightmare Boxes and keys

Here's hoping I'm putting this in the right place. I posted it as a suggestion on the founders pack page. However, I thought maybe here would get more attention.

As an idea I think keys should be a very rare drop. Very rare. The boxes drop so often it can get annoying (at least for me). Even with them now being able to be sold in shops for some copper, they flood the game. It's a sad reminder you have to spend money to get these things. Even if once in a blue moon a key would drop, people would cry less about this being pay to win. It wouldn't drop the incentive for people to pay, because paying would still be an easier and faster shortcut to open the box. At least then you have more incentive to play continuously trying to luck out on the keys and not grumbling "yay another useless box" every time a box drops (which happens quite frequently).

I mostly state this because seriously, spending real money on the slight chance my bad luck forgets where to find me in order to get what I want hurts (and not just my bank account). It's like playing the lottery and at times I swear the chances are just the same.

Just as idea though.

    I'm guessing this is your first PWE game isn't it:confused:

    Actually it's not. I can be hopeful. I can suggest. I'm a firm believer in offering a suggestion or alternate solution before I sit and complain in a corner how the world is unfair.

    Ahaha your naivete is delightful:o and i promise to pay close attention to this thread in the future to see how this suggestion fares but a word to the wise; don't hold out hope as they have not made keys drops in their other games and they have quite obviously been running years longer than this one.

    Optimism and naivete is not the same. I'd say I lean more towards optimism. I am well aware the likelihood for change is slim to none and slim is like my luck, no where to be found when needed. Can't blame a girl for trying though. I know it's low on the totem pole for things that need fixing. There are lots of tweaks needed. And this is likely to never change. But at least an alternative was mentioned somewhere in the ether.

    I would really love keys to drop, but the sad truth is that the chances of that ever happening is so slim because, like it or not, they want to make money of the game. I know they make money from Zen anyways but some people buy zen for the keys. The nearest thing I hope for is that they lower the price of keys so it would be easier to get them through the Astral Diamond Exchange.
