    I dont care what anyone says. The drop rate of the packs has been tampered with. It doesnt matter how many you buy at one time you still arent going to get much now. I used to regularly buy small amounts of packs and if nothing else got several charms and maybe one decent drop. Last few times I bought 200 packs at a time and was lucky to get one charm one decent drop and a couple of best luck tokens. Before with that many packs Id be rolling in good drops.

    Ive quit buying packs unless I just need luck tokens to get something from the boutique agent.

    What my boyfriend thought.

    It's just the coin becoming more worthless rather than the items becoming more rare. If you keep your coin in the form of AH gold I bet you'll find the price of things hasn't changed much at all.

    Omg....your avi is sexy b:dirty
    Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

    the packs are a lie, the only way you can make a profit with them are to be incredibly lucky, or to sell them to other people who still believe the lie.

    QFT. Opening those packs are the dumbest waste of coins you will ever do in this game. Selling those packs to pack addict is quite profitable though. The typical pack addict will always justify this saying that they are incredile lucky and that they got 4 or 5 super rare items from the first 10-20 packs. I don't believe them not even a little, eve if they got a few items in the begining they will end up losing money on the long run if they keep opening them, after all every time you open a pack you have 97% chance of losing money is not that reason enough to never open one?

    Keep the secret though, as us sellers want to continue reaping good profits :3

    Some people are lucky some are not i know people that give there packs to a person to open just becuase that person normally get good item lol..Yet another superstition.
    I sometime open packs just to try my luck often get nothing but hey i can afford to loose the coin IF you cant then dont buy packs,
    People seems to hate the packs but how many QQ'd the other day when there was no packs on sale for just 1 day?
    Gold went down from 1.4m to 1m packs came back and straight to 1.2m .If everyone would just STOP buying the packs gold would go down to 400k again(wishfull thinking) and you could spend your coin on refine orb sales and refine your gear for less.
    But this will never happen the anni packs was just for the 1st year celebration and supposed to be for 1 month then 3 then PWI noticed a huge increase in turn over and made new pack and now we have them all the time.PWI call it evolving i call it raking the cash in the game was alot better with players working for gear and most only having +5 refines as it was then a test of skill now its a test of how big is your wallet.

    If gold would drop to 400k I'd open tons of packs. They'd actually be profitable then b:victory

    But really, you pay for x chance at y item + the excitement of opening it. So they'll always be worth more than their expected value. If you don't find opening them exciting they're a waste

    the only way to get endgame shards is with packs, and with endgame in the cash shop and the ease and speed people can get lvl 100+ the demand for these shards goes up dramatically.

    ^^This

    While the resent x2 drops, 80% of the ppl i know got their TT99/Nirvana/Lunar gear. They want it sharded or refined. The only way to get good gems is form packs, hence the price of event items.
    Some time ago i made the maths of crafting a vit gem(+115hp) from flawless shards, and the price was 15m more then they were on the market, having in mind my calculus was based on 100k per flawless.
    Finaly: the prices will always go up. Period.b:bye
    [edit] The price in in-game coin. The prices of items related to Gold actualy are droping.
