    (I spent 10 mil on the first anniversary pack sale, got all tokens. Spent 10 mil on the second anniversary pack sale, got all tokens and a platinum HP charm. Spent 10 mil on the second Jolly Jones "event", walked away with about 2 mil in useless items.)

    Good lord >.< 30,000,000 on a gamble?

    Hmm... are you talking about the second go-round of the Spring Packs?

    The Spring Pack events were a license to print as much money as you wanted. You'd spend 10 million, get 12 back, spend 12 million, get 14.4 back, spend 14.4 million, get 17.3 back, etc... etc... etc...

    The only thing stopping people from getting infinite money during those Jolly Jones events was the time it took to open the Packs. At about ~25 million finger fatigue and boredom began to kick in.

    QQ more?

    They are called gamble packs for a reason. You are taking chances to win, it doesn't mean you will though. Every played Blackjack in a casino? It's the same thing, except that instead you start off in the negatives in this game of Blackjack and the count never changes. You may win sometimes, but most likely you won't.

    first of all, are you gonna write that on every thread like this. secondly, obviously its a risk but if you opened say 100 coral packs you'd get at least 1 decent item. i opened 100 sunshine envelopes and got 1,470 tokens and 2 platinum spirit charms. WTF perfect world.

    To be honest, I've forgotten just how many times Jolly Jones has peddled his packs. But in one of those instances, I spent 10 million coins or so, and walked away with less than 2 million in items.

    I guess I was lucky I bought 50 packs the other day managed only tokens, but then went to Jolly Old Jones and pulled Brilliant Plumes and a Black Raptor after about 30...

    <math>

    the chance to open 75 packs and get only tokens is
    *calculating*
    22%
    so feel lucky that you got a charm

    <joke>
    X: I think they should tax ppl that hate math
    Y: That's what packs are for
    </joke>

    I guess coins have no value these days if you're all willing to blow so much on these @_@.

    Obviously if you're not getting anything, it means you haven't bought enough. xD
