6. "RE: grumpy old person declaration"
In response to message #5

I know I've said this before, though not sure I said it here on this forum. The lockboxes aren't even worth 4 EC. They're worth -nothing-. They're a sucker trap, designed to make you think you're already carrying this awesome loot and you just need a key to get it. That's BS. The mechanics would be exactly the same if you found keys and had to buy the boxes. The keys are the only half worth -anything-. And then, of course, they don't publish the actual percentages for lockbox rewards. Yeah, I've bought some keys. And they were a waste, every one. So easy to fritter away so much cash... >>They end up piling up in my bank (on various alts, usually) until I >>either unload them at fire-sale prices on the Exchange > >I was going to do that but when I got to the Exchange Hirogen >Lockboxes were at 4 (count them, 4) ECs each... -------- this world created by the hands of the gods everything is false everything is a LIE the final days have come now let everything be destroyed --mu |

Also, while I'm still at a net loss overall, I did once turn a profit on a specific transaction by buying a master key off the Exchange, using it to open a Voth lock box, and selling the Voth antiproton beam array I got out of it for over twice what I'd paid for the key.
