Lockbox Keys

Firstly, apologies if this has already been suggested but I couldn't find any posts on this if it has.
For those players who are unable, or unwilling, or for whatever reason, do not put money into the game - would it be possible to put the occasional key to open a lockbox in - say - a dungeon chest as part of a reward? It could also be viewed as a bit of a "thank you" to those who do put money into the game!
Although I do understand why the people behind the game have made these keys available for payment only, with the amount of times these lockboxes drop, it seems to me it would be nice to get the occasional key for free especially for folk who can't afford to put money in. I'm only talking about the odd one every now and again in a dungeon or skirmish (or both) chest.
Any thoughts??

I'm not sure what you meant by that, where can players buy keys for free?
You use the Zen Exchange (ZAX) to buy Zen from other players with Astral Diamonds.

LOL. The drop rate for mounts is around 0.30% (0.02% for legendary ones). Now, getting a mount out of a single lockbox you're opening is possible, but on average, you'll have to open HUNDREDS of them (thousands if you want a legendary mount) to find anything profitable.
It's like buying a scratch ticket. Sure, there might be a $500 one somewhere in the roll, but it's hidden among a ton of $1 and $2 and a whooooooole lot of 'Try again's.
Ah, well, just let me continue dreaming!

This.
I got amazingly lucky and pulled the new legendary rage drake two days ago (my wife was thrilled, as I gave it to her in a stunning display of husband-point accumulation). The only mount I've pulled from a box. I am ridiculously lucky in that at most I've popped 50-60 boxes, ever. The odds are, as they must be, always with the house.
I would think the big reason for this is to give someone a free "taste"... Try it once and become addicted to keys
