    I talk about a set percentage because you are not guaranteed your item by opening 100 boxes. And any subsequent box you open after the first won't raise the chances either, so each is an attempt started from scratch so to say.

    Hope It will be illegal here too....

    If its just one european country they'll probably just dont distribute the game there anymore.

    Belgium laws are not every country in the world laws.

    Uh, you're right, but Its not Belgium, Its holland.

    Because i dont usually spend money anymore other than for elite, i decided to drop a sizeable amount of dollars at this mount. I am pleased to inform that the chance to get the actually good mount (the one with visual effects and x2 crit power) is completely abysmal to non existant.

    There is only 1 Battle Thrush for sell in the TR broker. This is why a fail cap must be applied to all loot boxes. Right now, is just Casino simulator.

    Well, and, as the first comment says in the post, people didn't read it properly. It only applies if the items can be sold outside the game, and therefore have real-world monetary value. That wouldn't apply to TERA, just like it wouldn't apply to BDO (the subreddit where that article exists).

    We're not going to just wake up some day and some court is going to say "all lootboxes are illegal" and all the game companies will just switch everything to direct-sale and everyone's happy. Instead you'll get regulation about specific kinds of prohibited scenarios, and most game companies will just adapt. I continue to push for failure caps and posted odds, because I think those should be the bare minimum standard as a first step.

    It probably is like 1/100 chance. On average 100 boxes to get single good mount, which ends up being 200$ lol. I'm suprised nobody is doing any datamining in this game, someone with a bit of know how should be able to find these chances rather easily.
    The amount you'd have to spend to have enough data to mine would be pretty staggering. I suppose if everyone were to pool together and report their pulls, you might be able to start making some assumptions, but you'd need to open thousands to have enough data. Of course most individual people will stop either a) when they win, or b) when they cross some threshold to decide it's not worth continuing. That's why you need mass data.

    My general guess is that the odds the for the chaser item in most lootboxes is around 3%, but in boxes like these that have a "good" prize and a "best " prize... yeah, wouldn't surprise me if the best was 1%.
