    It is interesting how you feel you are qualified to speak for everyone. Okay, so you don't want them. That does not mean that those items are not appreciated by someone in the game.
    Well, go ahead and either find someone to buy them and those Fashion Packs for 22.222 AD a piece, or buy them yourself since you love them so much.
    I've 11 of them in the AH right now, so come on and put your AD where you mouth is.

    No offense, but if those Packs were usefull to someone, then they would be selling for close to the worth of a single lockbox key in AD at some point... but that's not the case.

    Anyway, as mentioned before in another thread about Glorious Resurgence lockboxes... Adventurer and Fashion Packs should be removed from them for good.
    Those that "appreciate" getting these packs can open the newest lockbox, and anyone else can go for the glorious ones instead.

    Want to know why?

    I've sold some. I've given some away. You know, those people in PE calling out things like "where can I buy ID scrolls". Very appreciative.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Since you are so keen to give your lockbox keys away maybe you want to buy some keys for all of us?

    The very fact that you are giving them away shows all you need to know about them. Even those people asking for ID scrolls can get them from other avenues for cheaper than the cost of an enchanted key. Which would honestly be better for a new player to get, an adventure pack with worthless <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in it or something like a companion pack with bonding runestones, gaurunteed upgrade tokens, maybe an epic companion? What about a refinement pack with valuable marks and enchanting stones or next to worthless ID scrolls?

    The thing is though those new players are the ones who don’t know better enough to open an old lockbox instead or have a stockpile of old lockboxes like most of us do. So they are the ones hurt the most by this.

    I think I am qualified to speak on behalf of everyone in the game, when I say "Nobody wants to waste a lockbox key to receive a reward that you can pick up for 20 AD in the AH."
    I suppose you think that you are qualified to do brain surgery too? Having lesser rewards in the lock boxes is the trade off of having the greater rewards in the lock boxes.

    No, see, I have this belief in "helping". Doing for someone else, without expectation of return beyond a thanks. You might want to try it some time. Think outside of the box of "what's in it for me". You may be surprised.

    Does tree surgery count? lesser rewards is fine. Anything that is useful is fine. Potions that sell on the AH for 1 AD each is not fine. It is a slap in the face to think that something that can be farmed in the leveling zones in an hour or two is "rewarding."

    That generalization, while unavoidably true, does not excuse the "lesser rewards" being worthless. Earlier lockboxes found a way to include lesser rewards that made the price of a key worth the gamble. There is not the slightest reason why the least valuable reward in a lockbox should be as obnoxiously, insultingly devoid of value or use as adventure packs.

    You probably sold them for less then 4k AD per pack, and you're giving them away since they're pretty much worth-/useless. Not to mention that some people even "appreciate" a dead cat as long as they don't have to pay for it.
    999 Greater Scroll of Identification are being sold for 5k AD on the AH atm, and they drop rather frequently as well.

    Anyway, since this lockbox features the Adventure and Fashion Pack at the same time, i'm counting on seeing two legendary mount packs in the next new lockbox... when they can double the HAMSTER rewards, they can also double the good rewards as well.

    You're funny. I sell my stacks of scrolls for a lot more than 5k.
