Why do the GM's have at the top of the event page that says "You can buy a Lucky Box, But not luck"?

I got a feeling the Jolly Jones packs you buy for 100k are rigged for the good stuff not to drop very often. This will push people into buying that other events cash shop stuff. I hope no low lvl non cash shop users buy this ****. It will wreck their money.

    Hustle? Rigged? No. Marketing? Yes. b:victory

    I don't consider 0.00001% a chance for anything.

    So what they said makes it rigged. You're doomed to spend 100k+ and fail.

    What does everyone consider "crappy" stuff? The 200 mp pots that heal 2000 MP over 10 seconds? The 200 HP pots? The Beautiful shards? Or the 2 to 3 oracle books? Or the molds? I have purchased 15 of these, I got 7 beautiful Soul Gems, and 13 Oracle books, 1 scarlet fruit, and 200 mp and 200 hp potions. I used the angel babies for this. To make just one beautiful Gem is about 150k or 3 to 4 angle babies. I am not even bummed about the 400 pots, they cost me at most 100k, or about 250 coin each. And the 13 orcle books will give me about 30% to 40% exp total plus the 120k coins for completeing them.

    I don't think it's a rip off...Beautiful shards and Oracles make me happy. ^_^

    I admit, perhaps they could've had another blessing sort of thing...but this keeps me content. Not really hustling from my standpoint.

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    Why are you spending 100K per try when the most overpriced greedy gold vendors are only selling it (the angles) 50K? Next time play smart and buy cheap gold before events like this.

    I'm on the new PvP server. I just made my first 100k. Sorry this event was not designed with me in mind.

    1.5 mil? I would use that 1.5 mil to get 12 gold, then by 40 angel babies and use 15, sell off the other 25 at 50k each. leaving me with 1.25mil and 15 boxes....

    Oh waite, thats exactly what I did. I actually only have 500k left, but thats because I went out and bought a clean Anchient Arbor for 700k. And for the record I am lvl 59, I started with 400k and I used 360k to buy the gold to get the angels and sold them at 50k each. At level 30 I had 400k from making and selling weapons and armor as well as quests. It was not that hard to do. After a couple hours of buying and selling them I had 20 angel babies and I used 15 of them. I sold the rest because I was happy with what I had gotten. And I am on my way back to purchase more gold so that I can do this again.
