If it would be legal, then yes. Currently they don’t.
That’s the reason why in my opinion these boxes are completely useless for older players.
I have so many vehicles that the chance of something new is very slim for me. So even if I get the vehicle from the box, it will almost surely be turned into 1M SL. With how these boxes are designed, I will basically trade more SL for less SL, which doesn’t make any sense.
And that’s the reason why I decided to not waste my SL on these boxes:
I understand someone will say: “but what do you need this SL for anyway?”, and the answer is simple. I don’t know what will happen in the future. Maybe the devs will create some better boxes or maybe they will allow the convertible RP to be used with SL. I just don’t know this. So from my perspective, it’s better to keep the SL and see what will happen in the future.
I would use this SL if the devs decided to:
-
only put account-activated vehicles you don’t own yet in the box. And if you own all account-activated vehicles, you should get a vehicle coupon instead. I don’t think there are many players who own all the vehicles, but in my opinion such players should be rewarded, not punished. This way you won’t be robbed with the current “put 15M SL to win 1M SL” system.
-
create a system where the vehicle you get will be activated on your account first. And only if you already own the vehicle, you would get a coupon. So, again a system that favors players with many vehicles. This would require to add coupons for all previous event vehicles, but it’s not a big deal, they should be able to do this very quickly.
This kind of systems would encourage players to complete all the events and use the marketplace. Because the more vehicles you have, the higher chance for even better rewards.
PS. Yes, I know Gaijin is not interested in rewarding older players. Older players are already addicted, which is exactly why they are now treated like second-class citizens.

Because it is so easy to succumb to it. Many young guys play this game and they are affected by this. People shouldn’t come to this game to enjoy gambling. This game is about technical knowledge, history knowledge, strategy, tactics, teamwork, friendly competition. Gambling doesn’t have a place here.

1400 crates so far. 8 vehicles, was missing soviet P63 and phong kong. Now I am only missing the phong kong and got a T34E coupon. Gambling is worth it 99% quit before they win big.

Turning auto repair off was good advice before premium insurance. If you’re not paying premium it’s still good advice. For premium players it’s no longer any significant advantage though.
Another strat I use for these box events is I always run with a booster and that controls my purchase rate while they’re on. If I don’t have both an active SL and RP booster I buy boxes until I do then play til I exhaust them before I buy more boxes to get new ones. It’d be a shame to waste all that SL and RP you see people lose because of stacked boosters due to large batch buys. You’ve got a month here: compulsively buying by the millions day one and then losing most of the positive effect is kinda loopy IMHO. I’ll still end up spending about the same, it’s just spaced that way to ~1m SL a night the whole time.

Opened 50, got lots of SL back, some boosters, a profile pic, a decal and a decoration…not worth the SL I spent…
11mil probably spent and I got 1 decal I didn’t care about from 2017 and a backpack of ammo I could have bought for 1 dollar if I’d wanted it. Spectacularly disappointing so far. All I want is the Zrinyi 1 or the Ka-Chi in the end. Wish they’d stop with the boxes and just make them an event reward again, or something. Maybe Warbond shop. But this is the only method, so hooray, more SL for the grinder.
Pretty standard. The ones that stand out are always the ones getting something on their first 10 boxes, or who get a bunch of vehicles, but most of the time it’s just boosters and wagers. Boosters I’ll accept, even if them having a time limit to activate them in is absolute hogwash. But yeah, the boxes are mediocre until something pops up, if it does.
The trouble the game had was they couldn’t increase SL rewards because some people were already sitting on massive stacks of it with nothing to spend it on already.
So now 4 times a year they offer a cash sink for the SL, and that has allowed them to increase SL awards from play up a notch.
If you go into it expecting to give yourself a permanent RP bonus (because that’s the most common return other than SL-back) you won’t ever be disappointed. And exchanging SL you can’t use anyway for RP boosters to advance faster by itself is not a bad deal.
I agree with you that they do various things (like really hiding the Close button this time) to encourage compulsive behavior in their players. But in the end, so long as you’re not doing something completely inefficient and stupid like buying SL with real money or even GE/GJN over this, it’s only SL and you can always make more. I am glad to see they’re not pushing harder on the GE boxes which were very scammy (although I’m sure they’ll be back again for Christmas or something now that they’ve conditioned their audience to focus on the lootboxes more than on the game)

So my chances of win anything are slim… Chances that the thing I won will be useful to me are next to zero…
Oh no…
Anyway
The Helena is EXTREMELY good for SL grinding. Use HE only, I don’t even take a single AP shell. They changed Naval damage some months back. Give it a try again. (I only take some prox fused shells for the main guns JUST in case.)
Fleet… bruh
Go figure it out yourself then. 🤷 No need to complain about solutions offered.
