Profession Packs; RNG Rant

I realize that this isn't Oprah; everyone can't get all the things. That being said, I dropped 2900 ZEN on a bunch of profession packs/ asset packs today since it was about the only thing on the Cash shop that seemed useful. Just to be clear, I had no delusions of getting the epic companion. I know better than to hope for something that good from chance.
My frustration comes in when I received a single tool (green), 2 blue leaders, several green leaders, and the rest as low quality materials (the majority of these items don't even pertain to my current professions). I understand they are banking on the gambler's addiction to keep players going and all, but in order to keep that alive, you sorta have to throw a bone here and there.
Honestly it took me a while to come around to buying these packs since the RNG here has been really poor for me in the past. To date, I've dropped 6k ZEN (~60)$ on this game (mostly on RNG packs) and have very little to show for it. Not seen an epic of any sort, and very few items that were actually useful to me. I guess that means they win and all, but seems like if they just threw in at least SOMETHING cool, I'd have stayed on to throw my cash wildly into the digital fire.
But I'm just one unsatisfied customer; you got 2 million more to HAMSTER off before you gotta worry.

Those packs are a waste of money. And I have gone through my fair share because I have that gambling addiction thing.
I learned my lesson from playing WOI the other pwe money grab scam game. Now I don't spend a dime on these zen boxes/lock boxes.

Baby Cakes, lvl 60 GWF.
*******, lvl 60 TR.
Premium Juicebox, lvl 60 CW.
Pink Exxxtacy, Ranger
There is NO pvp in Neverwinter.
Because I decided to assume the last round was a fluke, and gave them another chance. In the long run, it's a win for me; I keep my money. Sad though since I do rather enjoy some parts of the game, but not sure how they plan to have repeat customers like this.
Well honestly it wouldn't have taken much to make the whole thing worthwhile. One epic asset would have put me over halfway there. Sides, the companion WAS a possibility whether I expected it or not. Just didn't set myself up to be disappointment...at least from lack of companion.
Again, wasn't a matter of NOT wanting the pet, just knew the chances were too slim to really expect anything to come of it. No one is going to be disappointed if they got one; if that's all they wanted, it near guaranteed disappointment.
Most of the people who buy Zen use it for gear and enchants. That is what keeps the money rolling in. It would be nice to see them actually add some true value to the Zen store items, but it doesn't seem like it will be happening anytime soon. I would like to help support the game, but they just keep pushing out one useless companion after another. There really isn't much to spend my money on. When the new expansion hits there will be another profession pack offer rolling out to get us to buy more useless junk. The new professions are the same as the ones we already have, useless and overpriced. Except this time I do not see anything of value when they are fully leveled. You will always be able to get a better weapon for less cost on the AH. At least the other professions have shirts and pants. They need to add some sort of a "Upgrade any weapon" ability to make it even remotely useful to level these professions.
