I'm a gambling addict, and the lockboxes/keys is the main reason i'm thinking of quitting the game, the endgame lack of content... i can be patient, the bugs/lack of balance... i understand, they will fix it sooner or later, the group fiasco... well its annoying, but you can work a little to find a group, the zen store... is needed for the company to make money, but A RIGGED SLOT MACHINE that allows underage childs to money gamble and pokes me to do so... damm that's hard to overcome, gambling seriously screwed my life since i was a child and i really feel like the boxes induct me to "gamble" on them... and i already did, 40 boxes, that's nothing, i find that spending a little in a game you like its ok, but last night, after opening 10 and having nothing worth mentioning... i felt like i NEED to open more... and that is a big NO NO, was really close to uninstall the game, i wont, "luckyly" i have no credit cards, so for reloading zen i need to go to a shop, buying a prepaid paysafe card and then come back and purchase, so its not that "dangerous" but if i get getting the "gambling need" on this game, i will not only erase it, but sue the company to try to BAN NB/Keys to the players under 18, adults can do whatever they want, but induce gambling in kids is a felony.
You people do realise you can buy the Nightmare Horse from the auction for around 2700 Zen worth of AD, why open as much as 90 boxes, stupidity.
At this point the 3000-4000 zen mounts are more valuable then the nightmare.
Yeah, but it's that desire to get something rare and significant for cheap. You buy one thinking you'll get lucky, another because why not, then you're 30 keys in the hole and sure you could just go buy it on the AH but what if the next key gets you the mount? It's kinda sick, but also a really smart method of profit for them. Reaping those addictive personalities.

You realize that lockboxes are the only way to get those taramune bars right? Also, you do get other things in the instances where you don't get the mount.

Kids? 18? Where do you live? All but two countries in the world have ratified the UNCRC which states the age of majority/beginning of being an adult is 18. Though it has its flaws it is signed. Where I live you can drink at 18, gambling is younger.
But I hear your point on the gambling. Only thing is, gambling makes us poor, and them rich. They wont stop. This is also a cheap way around having to obtain government licences and such. If the game triggers you don't play it and call someone. Best advice I can give.

opened about 12 with zen i didn't pay for. Got nothing of any note. Won't be opening any more. Won't be playing the game once I've levelled my characters to 60 and seen the content.
If you are opening more than 30 boxes for a mount.. You might have to reevaluate your life.
Just buy a 30-40 mount...
Maybe you should mind your own business what others want to do with their lives and focus on your own, I hate the way people think they have the right to tell people how to live there lives and what they should be doing with it to be "Socially acceptable" it's a joke and it's something that needs to be nipped in the bud.
Here are a few saying that come to mind...
"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.
"When pointing your finger there is always 3 pointing back at you"
wife and I have opened about 40 (a combination of AD to zen to keys and a few bought keys). So far...
2) leadership blue guys (25% increase and able to perform tasks that need higher level guy-resources)
25) or so packs of tier 5 enchants and companion runes
8) blue chests that give a blue item at your level
the rest were 40k AD idols.
i open 22 , no mount and no companion However i got the hero merc which i can sell for 500k AD so its not bad and i got some nice enchantments too , i would not say it was very bad anyway if i sell some stuff i got from the boxs i can easily buy the mount from AH

Luckily for you you'll never see the content since new Foundry quests are added daily!
I opened 1 box and got nothing major, not that I expected anything. Although it seems like there is a constant spam of "SoAndSo just got a nightmare steed..." so it makes you think your odds are good. **** psychology!

Opened 7 boxes and got the horse. Took my wife around 35 before she got hers. Still can't believe how much money I have spent on the zen store. Enough for several years of a sub game in only a few weeks. LOL! This company has got to be sitting pretty right now.
i would rather like to know how you can get ridd of the dam boxes?
Sell them on the AH. I opened 5 myself, then sold the others. A player ca buy them with AD for 200 per, so if you sell them on the AH for 75-150 AD each they will move.

This is an open beta. Start treating it like one.
Kinda like getting free drinks at the casino.

What is chance getting smth worth more than 45k

Regret. You got regret.
buyers remorse sucks

I sell them on the market for half the AD store's cost.
Occam's Razor makes the cutting clean.
