...so I no longer get these @#$%$*& grab-bags every 2nd drop?
I already paid to play this game. I also invested time/effort to defeat these mobs.
Why should I have to pay again to get the benefit of the drops?
If I want a grab-bag, I'll BUY a grab-bag. Knock this #$%^ off.

takofanes cache and drifter halloween store, despite the names are permenent fixtures, not part of any event.
You mad bro? Welcome to the forums.
Nobody's making you open them.
Heck, nobody even makes you pick them up - I only do it because I hate seeing a room littered with little ! markers after I'm done beating up the villains. I haven't opened one yet, and I don't feel the loss. Managed to sell a few of them on the AH before everyone realized how common they had become, and the supply of sucke- ah, that is, customers dried up. Now they just sit there, taking up exactly one slot in my bag.
It's not like the lockboxes in STO, at least, where they only stack to 10, and every time someone anywhere in the zone gets the top prize your screen gets spammed with a message. These can be ignored, sequestered, eventually even discarded if you like. No big deal.

But they do, THATS the biggest complaint. You have to constantly pick the annoying things up to be able to get at the normal loot! If they auto went to inventory people wouldnt mind much if at all.
I do not play or even care to play STO. I play CO. There is no point in comparing.
"At least I don't beat you as bad as I do your sibling".
And yes you do have to pick some up if there are multiple drops from one mob or they all die on the same spot.
You know what's really amazing about these forums, Jon?
Nobody's making you read them.
See how this terribly flawed logic can be applied to just about anything?
Aside from that, we've seen how PWE has a tendency of taking a mile any time they're given an inch. We accept these lockboxes, we'll have ones as bad if not worse than STO's in 6 months. We'd be there already if we didn't put up such a fuss over Grab Bags. People need to align their efforts (and wallets when the time comes) to get us back on track with a production = profit based model.
...I just recently realized something really disturbing. We're all eating Sodapop3's "humble pie."
This is only a sound argument if we could see actual drop names and then choosing to avoid them entirely, without having to interact with the drop first to see what it contains. All we get is just a glowing exclamation mark.
On the other hand I think the OP is just overreacting. I'm not fan of lockboxes myself but as mentioned they take up only 1 inventory space and stacks up to a ridiculous amount. Also, I'm assuming that most people including the OP would just click/press on "Take Everything" and don't actually cherry-pick their drops (it gets tedious doing it everytime in the middle of missions/combat) while selling whatever trash they obtained at a later time. In the case of lockboxes being un-sellable, I don't know, just throw them away or dump them in your bank space I guess.
everything I needed from supergroup stash, even the mission rewards were trash.
Strength, Presence, Dexterity out the wazoo, yeah my super stats are Ego, End, Con, thanks Cryptic.
45 Tako boxes and I even left some behind.
Loot table is a bit broken.
Star Knight started off in the Tutorial at lvl 1, because I wanted to make sure my build concept was viable. (Based around Laser Sword; I had to add Invulnerable to make it survivable, but I could justify that as being an alien gadget.) I never got around to throwing out any of my Takoboxes. Just clicked lvl 17, and collected a grand total of 46 boxes.
Hardly "filling my bags"...

Thank you for this.
We have had requests for a, "pick up all," option since game launch. I think that such, along with classifying drop boxes as "white" items so that they can be figured into need/greed selections in instances, would significantly reduce the negative impact of the drop boxes on those most opposed to them while preserving their function.
'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
Hardly comes out to "having to empty out [your] bags every four seconds"...

38 boxes in an hour is a tako box every minute and a half.
Thats one character, one hour, one player.
There were at least 600 people online while I did that run.
Lets say just 100 of them are as awesome as me, thats 3,800 tako boxes an hour.
Trash.
They should let us dump them with physics simulation and build a huge pyramid
until the lag of them all shuts the game down. Maybe thats why I can't connect.
My point was that I have yet, in all the time since Takoboxes came into play, filled so much as a single slot with them. I don't open the damned things, I just pick them up because I hate seeing little silver !s all over the place.

No means no, not twice, once.
Of course I collected and kept over 100 in the last 24 hours, whats that say about me?
