Black Friday crate results

[roughrider1988]

So I splurged for the 25 pack of premium containers. Results are:
168 shadow lurker camo
400k elite commander xp
105k free xp
20 type 59 camo
Pommern B
Asashio B
Alaska B
Atlanta B
42 days premium time.
Since I already have Atlanta and Alaska I get the combat missions for an additional 2500 dubs for each ship. Pretty good haul.

Already had all 4 of the regular versions of these so I'll get a bonus haul of 9,000 doubloons and 25,000 coal on top!

Good job. Would have liked to see some dubs drop for me as well. I bought the 365 days premium last Christmas and before the crates I still had 459 days premium time on the account.

The Yoshino B purchased alone would have cost more than the 25 crates. Thrilled. 72,050 value in just ships alone.

I just opened the 'free' ones that came with Dunkerque and got Saipan.

boo to Wargaming for making Black Friday containers only available to people who get citadels. WTF?

it's just one mission in the chain.. complete it and move on to the next mission of the chain for more crates.... plus, you know you can citadel ships with a DD as well, so no ship class is left out.

20 crates plus the ones from the Dunkirk deal netted me Yoshino B. and Atlanta B. plus a few nice other drops. I think these are ok if a bit pricey.

If you look carefully the first 3 Black Friday Containers in that chain of purchases were not Premium containers. If you click on them you'll see the chances of them dropping a ship are extremely low i.e. ~38 times less chance of dropping a ship than the Premium version.

I don't know why Wargaming did this, i.e. create 2 versions of the Crates. It seems rather deceptive for no good reason. And it only serves to confound those who think they purchased 6 Premium Black Friday Containers for their ~$12 worth of doubloons when in fact they only received 3.

There's two versions of almost every crate like this. Not just BF crates, but also all the National crates and special event crates. There are free crates, and then the ones you buy. The only one I can think of that's different is Christmas and there's 3 of those.

Yes, I know. But those 3 I mentioned are purchased in the armory for douboons.

I cannot find any of the standard versions of the "National crates" for purchase. It just seems rather deceptive for no good reason.

Edit: Correction. I do see the "standard" versions of those crates available for coal but not for doubloons.

I don't think it's deceptive any more than anything else. If you're completely blind and can't even see the difference in pictures.... I suppose.

Anyway, you can get something good out of them for virtually no cost, it's just rare. As someone already pointed out they got a ship. Last year I got a Scharnhorst B out of one of them as well, plus you're really buying Dunkerque at a large discount and all the extras are freebies anyway

I'm not "completely blind." Yet, I didn't notice the difference in the images. Perhaps this is due to me not seeing them by side or perhaps I just wasn't looking for differences.

Or perhaps I'm just overly suspicious that Wargaming might be trying to deceive its customers. Could you think of any reason I might have to doubt their integrity?
