Imho this event is merely a gambling addiction milking one.
No one forces you to buy boxes, yeah..but i think we all know how addicted we are, man we're playing a nerfed, whale/rmt oriented 16yo videogame!
Even the smallest fish will try to improve his low grade game situation spending at least 10/20 bucks on it, with results that seems very poor if u check the rise of similar posts.
With "some" luck maybe u can find 2 cloths, try to sell them but no one buys except the whales who are taking them in bulks at lower price, stocking up and reselling them with same prices as before. Same with weapon boxes, armor etc.
Winning rate seems affected by vip status too as some test suggests
Who's winning, and what's changed? seems nothing changed, the winners are the usual.
