Rare Large chest content: Two healt potions? X.x

Around 20% of the large chest when its rare, it gives me this. Two large health potion.

I know what random means, but getting a rare chance and then in rare chance I shouldn't have any chance not to get AT LEAST uncommon content. This is very wrong here!

This happens since months, anyone else noticed this? Reported this? Anyone else think its wacky? X.x

    Yep, seriously lame. I've gotten a couple of skill node kits out of a BARREL of goods.
    <removed>

    Take a look at the "Treasures" Sure, worthless grey items, but seriously???...

    A "Common Flower" is worth 75cp.
    And yet a "Giant Golden Pearl" is 15cp.
    ...or a 16cp "Precious Black Pearl"
    ...or a 16cp "Valuable Silver Dish"

    Really???

    Thank god I found some 6sp "Sweet Berries" (600 cp!) now I can buy a full 8 piece silver dinnerware set!

    Role-play wise ... the devs aren't even phoning it in.

    I spend half my time at really low levels trying to figure out if I should drop those gems or that dusty old tome to make room in my rare backpack.

    I've gotten some good stuff from them. R4 enchants and blue marks.

    They can't make leadership tasks give too much ad/gold, otherwise it would profit botters too much.

    Please read more carefully.
    I was talking about the large box, and the unreasonable rare chance loot inside it. Disregard any ad/gold related thoughts in the topic. Thank you!

    ^^ This... Rare chest which is rare containing ordinary loot too much often. Anyways at the current stage it is just making sure that avoiding chests and going for straight AD/Gold is the way to go.

    If you're too dumb to understand what I said you won't understand why you're wrong. And your suggestion to increase the reward will never happen, but again you won't understand why if you don't understand what I said.

    The Very Large Chest gives 7 Major Potions of Healing, while the much more available Large Chest gives only 2 Greaters, which are useless to a lv. 60 character...and those piddling 2 Greaters show up at least half the time when I'm opening chests via the Gateway. They all end up on AH eventually, once I pile up a stack. The AD rewards of "Destroy Enemy Camp" are more than enough to keep choosing it, but the healing potion reward is garbage.

    Barrel of goods examples:
    3x rank 2 rune
    3x random kit

    Another one:
    2x District map
    Lesser mark of potency
    2x rank 2 rune

    This is lightyears of more expensive stuff than what usually is in the large chest of goods. and my 20% ratio was underrated. I reallized now its more than 50% of the time gives 2xlarge potions. I made a ticket about this this is ridiculous, and prob a bug.

    The potions and "skill kits' drop from leadership over 50% of the time I just AH stacks and stacks of them every week /disgust. I would like them to alter the tables a bit but it's likely never to happen

    Id like to see proof of this.. Blue Marks? really? I must be the most unlacky man in Neverwinter, I saved 900+ Blue Leadership chests, and 200-300+ more from current live. Ive opened all of them few weeks ago, not a single BLUE. nothing, Potions and Grey Vendor Trash. Pretty useless. I think your mistaken the blue marks for something else.

    Barrels of goods are fine IMO, but rare and epic coffers from leadership (don't remember the name sorry) have very poor rewards, especially the epic ones, often rewarding you with 2 rare profession resources when you need 3 to start the task. Or rewarding you 7 greater health potions, which means 70 silver! AWESOME. :)

    Of course the cleric is advising us to sell our healing pots. ;)

    The regular and greater health potions sell on the AH. Usually on the same day I post them.

    I view the boxes as a side-effect of tasks I perform for income, so really, health potions I'm not going to use are just supplemental income.

    Not often. But They drop from the epic leadership chest. Think I've gotten two since mod2 started across 7 alts. The blue chest...mostly lowbie enchants and greater pots.

    I don't mind getting them in fact I use a lot. But the rare chest gives ONLY 2x Large Health Potion? While the Uncommon Barrel gives a TON of good stuff for a totally average "draw"? This has to be fixed.
