Then silver is not a free currency, by your own standards. It does not matter if you can get it for free because the option to buy it exists, and that’s the problem.

Boosters do not matter. Camouflages barely matter. Decorations also barely matter. The reason why people are engaging with the crates isn’t for boosters, camouflages or decorations, it’s for vehicles, let’s not pretend otherwise. And again, it’s not a no cost if you spend money to get the silver.

No but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that the ability to buy silver with gold, which compromises the entire system.

Only if that person is officially contracted by the developers to give out silver in exchange for the “services” you described. Buying silver with gold is an official way to obtain it, endorsed by the developers.

No, it exists to clear the legal requirement of not having real money traded directly for gambling.

By your own definition, it’s not a free currency if it’s buyable with money. Is that not what you said?

It’s predatory because you can spend real money and you know that’s what I meant. Stop bringing up situations that don’t have anything to do with my arguments.

You are oddly aggressive, as well as incredibly eager to defend a corporation from valid criticisms by players who mostly just want the system to be improved for everyone.

I am “stuck” on it because it shouldn’t be possible to pay for a random reward in a video game using real money. Being able to to buy silver with gold makes that a possibility, no matter the amount of steps between them.

It’s a limited time crate system that exists to trick players into wasting their in-game currency in the hopes that they will buy more with real money. Gaijin is a corporation, they exist to make money at the end of the day, and they have proved time and time again to be extremely greedy. Believing this is done to maximize their earnings is not conspiratorial, it’s the most logical possibility.

Cash = GE = SL equals Gambling with SL

This leads to needing more cash for more GE to get more SL to gamble .Pretty simple bro ,don’t need a degree in law.

It may be enough for some to launch a major investigation into Gaijins affairs. Maybe they have already, maybe Gaijin got warned, fined or found not guilty. Maybe it hasn’t happened yet, maybe it will one day.

I kind of see it as none of my business as I have my own business but it may be of huge concern to some. Online gambling is an issue to some like race is an issue to some, it depends on what is important to your personally.

I have no issue with Gaijin making money. Gaijin being shutdown would impact me because I have spent money on this game and would be sorry to see it go, Like many at Chelsea FC were sorry to see Roman Abramovich go when the dubious anti Russian axe fell on his head.

I’m just saying I hope Gaijin take care. Lot of people with an axe to grind it seems. Same people who think its worth time creating DOS attacks etc

As long as almost all the more fun vehicles cost upwards of 100 GJN, it’s not enough. None of the vehicles should cost more than 60. Player greed is too crazy in this game.

I always get a kick out of how Gaijin uses one single die in an attempt to convey odds, when the odds of a single die are meaningless in this context. I.e., the odds of rolling a 1 are the same as rolling a 3 or 5.

It might as well be a picture of a cow, tree and triangle, or just say, “low, medium and high”

Gaijin, if you want to convey odds in this context you need two die.

It is your choice whether or not to spend the actual money. It is literally “free” currency that you can obtain by playing the game without having to spend real money.

If that loot box only available in GE or GJN, the very low probability of getting this rare item would be a problem, but since it is SL, it is not.

Also, as far as I know, the probability of the last time available GE loot box is not that low and you can always get a rare stuffs if you spend a certain amount.

To me it just looks like you are crying on the forum because you have no easy way to get SL.

115

The “choice” argument doesn’t matter here, the problem is that the option to spend money for random rewards exist at all.

Except you can spend real money for the box by buying silver using gold, therefore there exists a problem. Spending real money on random rewards should be illegal, regardless of how many steps are used to obfuscate it.

I would further state that I believe having random rewards, even if only for in-game currency is also bad.

Would be better if they just had a direct price in gold that I could buy instead of having to do gambling rolls, be with real money, in game currency, in game currency bought with real money or any combination of the three.

Personal attacks don’t make your argument look good, they just make you look bad.

F*** all for most or close to it.

Nothing symbolizes Gaijin’s greed and the entire negative side of the company than this type of event and Chests in general. I hope Gaijin are doing well out of it because the negative press is overwhelming.

Well, they give you a chance to get something i got already VK4501(P) 3 events ago Tis-MA last event Leningrad twice, this event got Lorraine 155 Mle.50 only in one event don’t get a vehicle and spend approximately 20 to 30 mill each event so the true is at least for me is a great chance to get a vehicle for SL that are used only for repair - crew qualifications - retrain - buy new Research vehicle never got coupon but I’m happy they give you an opportunity.

118

119

600 dragons bought. This is what I got:

Directly activated on my account:

Overall I think these boxes gave more non trash rewards than the previous ones. Though the chances for non trash rewards could be juuuust a little bit higher IMO.

Shocking waste of time and SL. I guess some will go mad and waste all their SL and use GE to buy more, job done.

130

Nice, congrats.
I have opened about 10 everyday, maybe 200 in total so far
I have got a coupon for Il-2 M-82 which I already own so she is waiting in my inventory to be sold. Additionally 1x 1 mil SL + maybe 1,5 mil SL in smaller amounts.

Comparing to older boxes I got more than before.
In the past I spent about 78mil SL on 1300 boxes and all I got was 1.0 BR sdkfz 251 with 37mm pak + boosters, some wagers and maybe 1mil SL once. Costly vehicle :D

My Dragon boxes are clearly superior to snowman boxes, you have to worship your boxes and take their name as yours to be rewarded in the end. Haha (joke).

131

maybe 200-300 opened, cant tell exact , bought them on 10 at time.
3x 1mil
Soviet matilda coupon. ( 41gc on account from selling it)
boosters, decals, PIAT decoration. And dont remember was it German or French biplane, allready owned so got 1mil from it.
Overall , I have a lot better feeling from these boxes compared to any previous ones.
And huge plus that we dont need to buy chest and keys separate , just direct 60k SL and that’s it. I hope this stays on future.
