    Compared to last year, this year's golden boxes are more expensive, have worse gifting prizes, and contain pretty terrible loot.

    These boxes cost $20-25 each, but the contents don't reflect that.

    It's mostly the subjective value that's the issue, not the objective one. Like, all the new gold inner armor, mounts, and cosmetics are lootbox rares, so objectively speaking they're worth $20-25+ (certainly if you rolled the lootbox you'd pay more on average -- average price/rare is at least $40). But because they put *all* the inner armor in it, you have the kinds nobody wants too. The consumables might have been okay too, except they've been hugely devalued by events and other recent lootboxes. T11 feed will work out, but unfortunately prem alk and spellbind are low right now.

    Consumables are ok though because people can use them for awakened enchanting if needed.

    Yeah, it's not like they're not useful or usable. Just if someone were doing the math strictly based on the trade value from the broker, some of them won't quite equal the purchase price. But actually, it was kind of like this last year too because I remember doing the math on it.

    Edit: Found last year's math: https://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/Golden-Gift-Box-RipOff-#post-1427380

    All of the people i gave gifts (10 in total) got good stuff, so i wouldn't say the selection is bad. Maybe my gifts are just RNG proof :)
