So enchanted keys are near worthless?

So now enchanted keys are plain gambling with little to no AD gain (unless you get lucky) or want to use a coal ward for yourself. I don't see any use for them at all. I have bought 2x30 and got 1 epic mount and an artifact. ( didn't break even ) and i only broke even because of Cwards. So keys are now a money sink or am i missing something? No more money on this game the economy is now ruined.

    The lockbox system has always been a heavy gamble, not much has changed.
    Maybe they changed the drop rate, and if so I am not informed of it, but the fact remains that the lockboxes were always a luck-based item.

    Which is why I am not an avid opener of them.

    Only temporarily and only in your own mind (which is fair enough).

    Lockboxes have always been a gamble. Gambling odds are always on the house.
    PRO TIP Buy lockbox keys: YES. But don't use them. Rather, sell them in AH for a profit.

    It works.
    Every.
    Time.

    Otherwise, don't buy lockbox keys. Doing so without intent to actually use them for yourself or reselling them directly is fiscally irresponsible.

    But before the wards thing you were actually making profit opening boxes and selling stuff. Even if zen got more expensive, the price of the i item you were selling got higher on ah. And now... I don't know, you still can indirectly sell wards by making enchantments out of them, but since enchantments were always a bit cheaper then components used to make them....
    I think you'll be still making profit, maybe a bit smaller, but always.

    Using them unbinds them, or at least their value.

    lol! Using a coalescent ward uses it up - gone now! So of course it loses it's value (and trees are made of wood, too!)

    Don't be an idiot.

    Coal wards from the bazaar do not repesent even 40% of what the value of the keys were. Also, you can still get them to fuse your own enchantments for resale.

    Calling it near worthless is ridiculous.

    Using them increases the price of whatever you used it on by it's value. And the enchant isn't bound... Some people are just stupid.

    If you honestly feel like your keys are worthless. You are welcome to send them my way. No point in having them take up your valuable space. When I can find a good home for them

    C. Wards are not useless. As currency, they are now simply traded as a Lesser (Vorpal, Plaguefire, Soulforge, Barkshield, Bilethorn) Enchantment.
