Anyone else enjoying the personal reserves loot box?
total ripoff
It ended up taking around 165 loot boxes to get the T77. And that’s including the one “free” reopening. 7 of the 9 tanks came from reopenings and I reopened every single loot box. It’s a complete scam.
Definitely. Quickybaby did a video opening 200 loot boxes. He calculated that there was a 0.57% chance of getting a T77 from a loot box.
This is absolutely despicable on Wargaming’s part. It’s bad enough charging outrageous credit amounts to re-roll the free progression-limiting loot boxes, but to actually charge gold to re-roll the loot boxes you purchased? Looks like Wargaming is getting even greedier than they were before.
I can’t express my disgust at WG introducing yet more loot boxes into the game, and in a way designed to milk as much money from as many people as possible. Wargaming has introduced a system in this even where freely awarded loot boxes are used to block event progression and encourage people to spend insane amount of credits re-rolling the loot boxes in an attempt to get the items they need to progress. They’ve introduced a new tier 8 premium autoloading heavy tank that is only available in purchasable loot boxes. They allow you to re-roll the purchasable loot boxes in the hope that maybe having another chance will get you that shiny new tank, but require you to use their real-world currency equivalent to do so – and neatly exploiting the sunk-cost fallacy in the process.
This whole event is nothing more than a way for Wargaming to drain the silver, gold, and wallets of their players.
Loot boxes are greedy, predatory, and sickening. I really hope this comes back to bite WG.
