    Same here! Except I've also been buying EMP with gold AND off broker for inflated prices almost everyday. Pretty great.

    Elin boxes always had bad rng because most people play elins so they are a good cow to milk.
    Anyway....

    Another game has loot boxes too but they have a karma system, which if you open X amount of boxes you get a guaranteed costume at the end.
    I think they have it set to 100 atm. So you really want something like that here? you would basically pay 200$ for a costume.

    Given all of them do not block anyones gameplay and buying them is at your own risk since you are clearly informed upfront that you may not get it.

    Well, it'd basically be the same as it is now except that, at the very least, you know for sure that there is an end in sight. There are people right now who spend $200 and end up with nothing but consolation prizes. The odds in the boxes would still be such that most people would win before arriving at the cap, as it is now -- it's just the people who have the most horrible RNG get the most upset (and rightfully so). (I don't think the ceiling should be quite so high, though.)

    Ideally, I think this combined with announced win rates (as happens in Korea, Japan, and other countries) would be a step forward, given that loot boxes themselves most likely aren't going anywhere.
