Jokes aside, I'd be happy getting those boxes regardless of the poopy rng, it means somone spent their hard earned money on me, regardless of the prizes you get. So towards the giver, I'd always be grateful. Honestly though I agree with you Zoknahal, the rewards are far grater for the person sending the boxes. But at the same time, some may not see it that great to get twice the same mount, or in general recolors of already existing items, like the gym stuff and the plasma weapon skins. Then again for me, account mount also adds greater value to those items.
For you guys who are defending these boxes, saying that people should be in the spirit of giving and buying these boxes anyway, and that what it gives shouldn't matter... why do I need to buy these boxes to be in the spirit of giving? Like I stated earlier, I'm still going to be giving people gifts, just not these ripoffs. I myself can give people gifts that I know will actually be good, unlike most of the stuff that's in these boxes (and GOOD LUCK winning one of the prizes that are actually good). If you respect your dignity as a paying TERA player, you will NOT buy these gift boxes, because most of the stuff it give DOES NOT justify the hefty price tag. With the earlier wintera boxes, your recipients had a VERY good chance of getting something valuable when considering the price of the box. Not the case with these.
If you see a Baraka mystic inside a gym outfit and santa hat riding over your head with his black jetcycle doing flips in the air that's me. xD
It's 5k and 10k.

I could understand it if 10 and 20 were like 1.5x crit power and 2x crit power with the jet rng in the gift boxes being 2x crit power. This how ever is worthless to me and any of my friends, not to mention so many others.
The typo was the 5k and 10k at the bottom, it was changed to 50k and 100k.
However, if people buy these boxes anyway, I guarantee you, this will be the direction that future Wintera lootboxes head. EME will figure "well, these boxes still sold well", and, for the most part, ignore any feedback they receive. Sales are their first and foremost priority. Feedback is secondary. They will only take our feedback seriously if the sales obligate them to. Find other ways to bring holiday cheer to your fellow Tera players, but for the love of god, don't buy these boxes.
If they actually put in sought after items, like Felicity, Elin Chamber & Parlor Maid Uniforms, Plum Blossom Dress, and so forth, more people might actually be willing to buy these things.
u pay 100K for golden box, and then get a 15K innerwear instead, so I suggest, just buy the outfit instead lol
Not cool EME, Not cool
I really think people wouldn't complain as much about the rewards if the items received by their friends weren't garbage so often. Once it stops being about giving your friends nice things, all that's left are the reward incentives -- and those are terrible, which certainly isn't new, but now it's all that's keeping the event together so there is more focus on it.
