11 boxes, no trace of mount or companion. On a side note I made something around 400-500k AD out of those, I recon I was really lucky with idols and Proffesion Asset packs.
$500 on a free game? *shakes head* I'd rather invest it and get everything I need free. Waste of cash.
But you're wasting the same amount of time doing surveys that might not even cash out. So with your logic if the survey had the option to cash out money or zen, you'd take the money? So what was the point in doing the survey in the first place xD
Several Phoera companions, I just traded or sold them on the AH. I think I have recieved something like 3 of them, maybe as many as 5. It has been a while now though so I cant recall. No nightmare mount. Not too much in the way of other stuff either. I did sell an Ioun Stone that I bought with the trade bars for something like 800k AD on the AH. All in all I got more in value from the boxes than the cost to buy them in AD, but not much more. Since the AD to Zen Exchange has leveled off though I have not been getting any profits to buy more lock boxes.

Bought 10 keys, no mount or bird.
Got enough loot for about 400k+ AD.
Converted some to 1125 Zen.. purchased 10 more keys!
6 Idols and a nice rare enchant (250k AD) and a some <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>...
Traded the Idols for 6 more keys (ya addicted at this point!!) and got <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> nothing even to sell that time, so I am taking a break.
26 boxes, some down about 200k AD and not much to show for it
Are the boxes even worth opening or am I better off spending my zen on something else?
The lockboxes are a pure lottery. If you get lucky then you can make some AD or have some nice loot to play with, but it is more likely that you will get something of only marginal usefulness. The "jackpot" is the Heavy Inferno mount, but the plaguefire enchants are also nice and the pet is decent. If you get leadership packs or an Idol you can sell them for the cost of another key (with a little profit from the leadership pack), the coffers of runestones or enchants will also sell but not for enough to buy a new key.
I have opened about 25 packs (give or take) and have not yet gotten a mount, pet or anything really useful. But I have managed to get stuff worth selling to to fund the purchase of some more keys. Back to the lottery for me.
just 5 so far, not had much out of them either. no mount, no pet/companion. did have a lvl 34 blue item that was a lvl 60 item that could be worn a lot earlier, but on the AH for around 2000AD does not compare to how many AD were used buying the 5 keys
Still at 360AD per 1 zen (price since then has gone down by almost 30) I just don't have any AD left right now, still gives me something to aim for, but am not going to spend all the time grinding.
Eventually this game will become boring but I have at least unlocked an extra 4 character slots on my account
opened 10 boxes, nothing... few rank 5 enchants, two idols... ill never open one more... total waste

I'm not sure. I opened 30ish before I got my first one, then it was less than 10 later that I got my second. I'm actually holding on to the second for a new character once they release the race.

I think I've opened about 30-ish so far. I've gotten the bird (Phoera) but no mount. I've also gotten a few idols, blue crafting assets, and some blue and purple enchantments/runes. I have almost 1000 trade bars too. Think I'm gonna take a break from spending money and ADs on keys though; It's getting too expensive. I wish I knew what the official drop rate is for the mount. Then I'd know whether I'm quitting too soon or if I spent an outrageous amount already.

opened about 150+ for no mount so far. Gave up and just bought one for 21 keys

Its plain luck. Also, I believe that the list of items in the box do not share equal %chance of scoring. Perhaps (just an example) the Infernal Nightmare is just 5-10%?

Wow with those low odds it makes me think twice before I spend money for keys.

I refuse to answer, because after that comes the, "Hello. My name is Ghostravyn, and I'm a box-aholic."
i've gotten one mount and two birds though. I had to open at least 50 boxes before I got anything though.

my 39th box contained my horsie, everything else was pretty much <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Since my mount from the founder's pack was as fast as a nightmare, I just sold it on AH and turned the diamonds back into the zen I lost.
I will say though, I seem to get better draws from my lvl 60 toon than I do from any of my lower toons. Maybe coincidence, maybe something to it, I don't know.

at least 50, no luck so I bought one.
But once i opened 3 phoera in a row. That was helpfull

really i only opened 10 and never plan to open more or spend another dime on this game.
