dont fall for their scam loot boxes
had some spare sl laying around, i thought id entertain the idea of open 50 of them, see how scummy gaijin can be, low and behold, after 50 boxes, cost of 3 mil, i got total of 50k sl back, 1 decal container, just a bunch of orders and backup, not even a single green aka uncommon in 50 boxes, not to mention any kind of vehicles, all of the reward is predetermined and they intentionally showing good prices on both side as if you just missed it lmfao, dont even bother
oh and if someone is interested, i could try upload the recording, just no audios

Idc, i make so much SL over time by just playing, that i can easily spend 10 to 15 million each time such an event happens

lmao someone bragging about getting a m8 from 100 boxes, (normally cost 23 dollars on market they said) first of all, a low tier br 2.3? vehicle should not cost 20 bloody dollars, secondly, getting one low tier vehicle from 100 boxes, which is 6 mil sl btw, probably took 100 hours of grinding for those sl, how about you get a job for 3 hours and buy it instead of bragging able to get it with the resource you have gained from 100 hours of playing

I've never buy the M8A1 from the market for it's price but I was able to get it for free instead.

the true scam is the GE crates. but I wouldn't cry if I went and spent the money on it.
like who goes to a casino then cries that they lost it all and calls the casino a scam.
we already know it is the whole point in gambling is for the fun of risk v reward.
RISK AND REWARD, there is no reward, even the famous overwatch crate who sorta started this lootbox thing have way better chances than this, 50 crate with no uncommon? thats a scam not gambling
50 crates is not risking anything. try 400.

If it would honestly take you hundreds of hours to get 6 million SL then there's the problem.

While it may be hard for you to believe, to long time players that's a tiny amount.

What's more, those of us who've purchased most of the available vehicles for our preferred mode end up sitting on hundreds of millions of SL very quickly.

What else would we spend that on?

No 6 million SL takes around 6 days at 10 missions per day. I've already spent 1 million on crates today and played 6 missions for 800k SL (not counting the active wager I got from a crate)

Well, at least you didn't complain how you only got 1 vehicle after opening 100 boxes, so you have my respect. Those people give me an aneurysm
opened 400 got 1 vehicle total scam waaaaaa.

lol I am happy it was the M8A1 GMC
So far I've opened around 2000 in all the previous events combined
I got 2 vehicles
One was a duplicate

They literally gave away in the page that one of the premium vehicles had a 0.001% drop rate, aka 1 in 100,000 boxes. They did say that one specifically had "much lower odds", but even if the others had 10x higher drop rates than that specific one they're still 1 in 10,000 boxes for a premium vehicle.
100,000 players opening 1 box each pretty likely it will drop then isn't it.

currently 200k players online right now. odds of 1 individual getting one is low. but the odds of one dropping for someone among 200k is high.

market prices crash every time they do these. so there are a lot being won.

not sure how many I've opened but the 400 today is the largest I've done in one go.
as for rewards I can not remember.

I don't know how many times I've asked for them to release the actual drop rates of the stuff we can get. Given up by now. Either I get something or I don't

nope. can't say I am either, not until I can beat a friends record of opening 2500 crates.

the very first time they made them available he spent all his SL to buy as many as possible. took 8 hours to open, pretty sure they've made it easier to open a lot now. no consume again button on the first batch

I'm looking forward to dropping 100-120 mil on crates

Oh look yet another player screeching about how much of a 'ScAm' these lootboxes are like he's the 1st to realise this. BTW I got the T-72 Moderna in my 1st 20 crates when they where last available...so yea 'utterly useless'...
