Felt so disgusted like i was robbed. i wonder if anyone ever get it. Maybe Tankgirl might wanna explain abit here on how it works?   Dude chill. You obviously have not read previous promotional posts. Some people are lucky. One guy spent what was it 800ap last time and managed to get TWO capes. While some people have to spend up to 5k ap to get the final prize. Like experienced people say everytime we see one of these. You are gambling. These types of things are designed to take your money, just like slot machines. Some have better luck then others, while some have no luck at all. You were not "robbed" you willingly spent your money on the box for the chance to win. If you didn't win, then you just were not lucky enough.

This is an instant of hiding the critical information about the quality of the product. Imagine you buy a second handed laptop on ebay, and you were not told that the all the vowels on the keyboard are not working. Certainly that is a dishonest practice, even though it was not technically robbing, even though everyone know that second handed laptop have a chance of being malfunction one way or another. Same here, you were not told of the chance of receiving the capes, and that is a very critical information that will significantly alter the value of the box.

The difference is that you are not buying a product off ebay. In which you get the description of the product and have the right to return it if you did not receive what you paid for. You are not buying a product, you are gambling for it.

You are placing money into a box which gives you the CHANCE to win one of what 6 items? Do you demand that the owner of a casino tell you the chances of getting straight 7s on his slot machine is before you play it? By putting your money in the box you are taking away any right to claim you were robbed. If at all you were "robbed" the same way people who play the slots for hours get robbed. Either way, it is all by choice. You are not being forced to spend a penny therefore Aeria is not doing anything wrong. :\

You guys are putting way too much into this. Should you like what is offered and willing to gamble for it, then good for you. If you find that it is not worth the chance, then don't put forth your money. That simple. No need to complicate things.

Mystery Boxes= Slot Machines

I completely agree with you Lady_Toorima. But what the only thing I would want to know was if you buy them in bulk, would you have a better chance. Im sure that if you did have a better chance more people would buy them.

Hmm, in this case, ppl usually buy at least 5 at a time. At least that is what I have come to understand talking with friends and such. That is how that one guy got 2, he bought in bulk and got lucky. At the very least I would get 3 at a time. But then again, it is your decision and it depends on how much you are willing to put into it. ^^

I have 5k so i would spend half that

Hmmm, if you are going for around 2.5 k, then maybe try it in increments of 500ap? >.<
