Who buys keys for real 😂

You're assuming droprates are not different between farmed and bought keys. Do this again spending actual money, or your data/title is rubbish.

Im sorry but didnt understand why 1hr equals 1 key. Is there any possible farm besides level 10 story chapter?

Honestly the worst thing about BLCs is that they are just not fun to open. Which is also the best thing because it means I'm never really tempted to buy the keys.

I dont think this is comparable to blizzard in terms of scandals. One word and GW2 can start doing the WoW method of implement subscription and then everyone has to pay. You can get all these things with ingame means. Money is just a shortcut and the people who make the game needs to be payed, there has to be a profit margin for the stock holders. If the game doesnt generate any profit there is no reason to keep it alive. Gambling is gambling no matter the odds or percentage. Its semantics imo. Its the only gambling mechanic in GW2 if you dont count the plasma one if its still a thing. Other games have buy price, season pass and only loot boxes in the reward systems. Blizzards failed moba for example, cant remember the name. Then we have the Diablo immortal thing. A game cant survive without playing to the capitalistic society we live in today so you cant escape it. Fun video though statistics wise and most have been a fun project with people participating and opening all the chests.

Thought your mic was a special effect for an intro or something 🤣

it's RNG man we all know it's rigged in every game it's really not a big deal simple solution is don't buy BLK I've never bought keys with money only trading gold for gems and Ive got a permanent hair contract and bank tab.

Sigh... thanks anet....

already spent 100$ and an other time about 70$ to get exclusives but didn't... nowadays I only go for the statuettes and just ignore my chests drops.

ill never blame anyone for using systems that exist in a game, i will always blame out of touch greedy devs and publishers for creating a disease in any form, however. people blaming folks for falling into predatory traps are just as bad as the traps being placed, and their originators. also, Infusions are overpriced garbage.

"prioritizes fixes to the gem store." Gem Store on my PC: "My existence is pain. Please. Put me out of my misery."

I never knew how lucky i am watching this lmao

This is an excellent video covering BLCs. I personally dont purchase keys.

Poor rich kids

Can't see the angry comments through my exclusive demon mask (don't ask how many keys I used)

spend 50k on a new mic bro

Well I never bought the keys but you get some keys ingame here and there

Yes, it is a fraud. I've seen it for myself. A thousand times better to spend that gold or gems on upgrading the account directly.

I appreciate all the work that went into this. I guess I just don't see where the misleading part is, as far as exclusive skins are anyway. According to your data, even with the mount skin in the loot table the percentage is much higher than 3%?

Can't relate with this one 🫠

When you've never played an actual predatory game like ESO, you complain about stuff like this lol

Black lion chest, your rate of getting anything worthwhile is WELL KNOWN to be almost infinitesimally small. Nice of you to support the game tho, kudos for that.

this needs to be heared, love gw2 but i cant ignore this, ty for the information, suscribed

The actual video starts at 12:30

I've gotten a lot of great loot from Trading chests. Sorry to see so many salty players. Sour grapes I guess.

This guy sounds really hot. Also, he knows what he is talking about.

Ive got better stuff from free and dropped keys than the bought ones. Every other gem key was for getting statues.

Dont gable ? IMPOSIBLE

For loot boxes, I'd like to at least give some credit to GW2, these ones are much more tame and available to people than others. To start, you can reasonably get keys for free, from leveling quests (which you can do weekly) and some expansion quest rewards, which is a large change form many others where the ability to try your chances is either limited to pitiful drops from events or locked completely behind a paywall. For every chest, you get at least some currency which you can stack to buy specific Black Lion Chest items, which is also much better than almost all other loot boxes where you can't even have a guarantee that you'll EVER get a specific drop. The common pool is full of either usable items or crafting materials that are unreliable to get (might/magic trophies), which means at least you can get some use out of bad rolls unlike other loot boxes where the commons are all just bad skins. As much as I dislike loot boxes, I'll give them these ones. No loot box is ever going to be a "good" thing, but for a lootpool of (for the most part) one-off cosmetics and some super expensive usable items, the problems with this are pretty tame. I'll give you the numbers, though. Don't lie about numbers. Shouldn't have to say it, but last I checked lying is bad.

It only takes a max of 15 minutes to get 1 BL Key using the weekly key farm.

I got a party skiff from a chest I randomly opened. Got a few skins. usually just junk.

So much complaining - if you don't like it, don't use it. The transparency crisis that seems to bother people... get over it.

It's funny to see you all defending the company that's willing to advertise new powerful weapons that come with the new expansion but then Nerf it a month literally ripping you off and messing with the attributes that made you want to buy the product in the first place. A company that's willing to put silvers along with platinums in PvP making losing some matches literally unavoidable. As well as shady practices like making new traits are specializations overpowered at lunch so people would want to buy them

I would argue that the infinite extractor is the most valuable. Being able to rip runes from gear and not only using it but selling it would be more profitable than anything

You're just a salty poor gamer, get a job

interesting video, since launch i have bought exactly 0 keys tho so whatever. if u buy keys.. get scammed by yourself i guess

Jade Bots in general need more relevancy, they should have way more skins that are available and those skins should be half the price of a Mount Skin at that being how small they are. Aside from Fishing and Mounts, the other features introduced in prior Expansions aren't particularly relevant outside of their Expansions which is a shame because Jade Bots, Skiffs, Gliding and Bounties should be implemented in the other maps. Rifts they've added to Janthir which is neat but that to I think could use some more spread than the few maps in Core Tyria that has them. All in all that's what would bring more reason to make more skins and reduce the price as more players would be choosing and buying them because I'm not spending however much it was to get a floating cat Jade Bot Skin when I hardly use the thing.

Opened chests regularly until pre EOD and the results were within range of this research. i used to get the featured rare skins like gliders and/or chair within 5-15 keys from saved weekly key farms. Today I used my last 40 keys and didn't even get the featured skins aside from useless dye kits. Double stattuete only proc'd once + a single ticket scrap. I did get an omnomberry node and a glyph but dang the usual useful drops feels so scarce now.

Your mic sounds a bit tinny. I am no audio engineer, but i recon an equalizer could boost the sound quality somewhat, by filtering out some dominant frequencies and amplifying others. Great video anyways, thanks for all the research.

Bro, first of all, no one told you to do this, and second, GW/ArenaNet doesn't control your will. You spent $50 grand on keys and expect a 100% chance of getting a super rare item that only has a 0.3% probability. "The problem is you not the game"

I got a bunch of Keys and chests but never used them.

I'm personally angry that there hasnt been a new double statuette in the "seasonal spot" it seems for over a year. I have 200 keys that I have been holding for along time.

I got 2 contracts in under 200 Keys, hair and Bank lol

Imagine being mad about rng on a gacha system where you can farm and get almost everything for free just playing the game. LOL

I mostly so batch openings of chests when keys go on sale to get the utility items like revive orbs and primers. Anything I get beyond that is just bonus to usually be turned into gold. I have noticed though, that the exclusives drop for me much more frequently and with less keys since they moved them to the statuette store. Pretty much the only time I’ve had to buy an exclusive was when I was away from the game for a few months

I don't get drops at all on my account so why would I ever buy keys ,lol. 11 years in game. The only precursors I have ever gotten are ones I forged.

I thought you were schaffrillas and I was like HOLY DAMN SCHAFFRILLAS PLAYS GUILD WARS 2?!

Of all the nothingburgers I've ever come across in my 51 years this has to be the nothingnest. The data is interesting but if you didn't know the BLCs were sucker bets before this you are a fool. They are there for people who have money to throw away. 80 percent of the keys I've used came from game drops. But I make a point to buy a few gems with real money almost every month. I figger I get so much enjoyment out of the game something that roughly averages out to $20/month is worth it to me. That's only a few bucks more than a single movie ticket in my town, and doesn't even count snacks. Usually it's for a shiny bauble off the store as a treat for myself, sometimes I just dump it into gold if nothing is grabbing me as I hate farming gold. About once a year there'll be nothing pressing on either of those fronts so I'll splurge on some keys for the hell of it. There is nothing in the BLC or the gem store you need to play GW2 content, other than the expacs. There's a lot players may want but not need. I've bought 20 keys before and got bupkis, but I just got a key off completing the second IoJ map and got that greatsword chair/glider/weapon skin combo and a guaranteed wardrobe unlock. The other memorable "win" from randomly getting a single key was I got the derpy unicorn pegasus gryphon skim. RNG is RNG. Trying to stir drama about optional shit is stupid. If you're so weak-minded as to be manipulated by FOMO may you should do a reevaluation of your life. If you're an obsessive completionist you have only yourself to blame. If it were easy to do it wouldn't be special.

I dont get it. You are whing about unfair Lootboxes? Its still one of the best if not the best Solution in this business!!!!? btw i got 1 Superrare and i never buy any keys ...

I'm okay with people gambling for rare cosmetics
