Do the dragon boxes just have horrible RNG?

trying to get an iron dragon,
spent over $230AUD which is about over 48 boxes and no luck...
anyone else have a hard time with these?

    RNG is that.

    You could buy 1k ofthose and never get a dragon becuase is about luck.
  • Well at least i have [filtered] tons of spellbind and alkahest now
  • I have opened 43 royal diamond boxes and got 1 mount.
    Thank goodness the game teaches you to accept terrible RNG and move on.

    on a serious note: The RNG is just disgusting, EME want over US$200 each for these mounts.
    My opinion is that EME should not be selling RNG boxes, but I appreciate that if they cost $200 on the cash shop, none would have sold.
    I feel like they should be required (legally) to tell you what the chances are, like in other regions.

    I actually agree with this.

    They can ge taway with it because the winnings are not currencies recognized as legal tender anywhere in the world, afaik.

    AFAIK, this is correct. Technically we don't own anything, EME do.
    Our accounts and everything on them are owned by EME, so even if you win a mount, it is technically owned by EME.
    So EME can legally sell these RNG boxes without a gambling license or whatever is needed to run an online casino.

  • TL;DR - Yes
  • I suspect the rate on the Dragon Boxes is probably the same as 150 EMP lootboxes. Except they're more expensive.

    In the past when EME had more expensive lootboxes they also had better odds to make up for the price, but I don't think that's the case here, since it seems clear BHS has always wanted to make this the most premium item in the game.

    In the end, I still feel the problem isn't the rate, it's the fact RNG is unbound so there's no failure cap. But that too seems something that's difficult to convince TPTB. I do also feel that posting the odds is the right thing to do, and in the countries that legally require this, it hasn't really seemed to hurt gacha sales all that much. But I fear it will take legal or regulatory pressure to force EME to comply.

    if you are lucky, like me, don't open them. make 400K by selling elite voucher and stuff and buy the dragon yourself directly.
  • I opened 7 boxes and got 2 mount :p
  • kamizumakamizuma ✭✭✭✭
    1/75-1/80 (sample size of 800)
  • 2 times i open box.
    10box = 1 Royal
    5 box = 1 Royal

    You have horrible rng xD
  • Hm.. I don't know but my rng has been pretty good before. Opened 48 crimson dragon boxes got 5.
