Had a neat idea for new types of Cosmic Keys. As we all know, players like to have some sort of choice in what happens in a game, rather than being completely at the mercy of the random roll. What I propose is new types of keys that allow the player to increase the chance for what kind of drops they will get from a lockbox. These keys could be sold for a higher price than the current cosmic keys since it gets players closer to that feeling of purchasing something directly.
Here are some ideas for specific types of keys:
Legions Cosmic Key of Power: Increases the chance of a gear box..
Mechanics Cosmic Key of Power: Increases the level of mods [edit].
Tailors Cosmic Key of Power: Increases the chance of a costume piece.
Racers Cosmic Key of Power: Increases the chance of a vehicle.
Drifters Cosmic Key of Power: Increases the amount of salvage acquired.
Champions Online: Be the hero you wish you could be in a better game.0

I always suspected you were crazy, but this proves it.
I've been tracking the results from opening boxes, but since I want them all opened on Live, it's been going slower than if I just copied a bunch of keys to Test repeatedly.
Right now, it looks like about a 33% chance to get R3 mods, and a 25% chance to get R4 mods. There's a 10% chance (or lower) to get a non-mod result. And you want MORE?
A better suggestion would be "Mods from this box (but not gear kits inside this box) are one Rank higher than normal". You'd still max out at R7, because R7s only come from gear kits and wouldn't get boosted, but it would be better than an almost 60% chance to get R3 and R4 mods - but more of them.
