I like the boxes, its a new feature to the game, and it adds a little mystery to things. Why, though, am I sitting on over 100 of them? I got 17 in one matches salvage. Which would be great, if it weren't for the scarcity of the keys. Ive only gotten three through missions, and bought 10 because I wanted to see the type of items. One guy I know finally got a key through salvage after acquiring 260 boxes.
Is this drop ratio broken, or was this your intent? |

I would not be surprised if it was the intention to have keys be that rare. The entire notion of the Crate-Key system is to have people have far, far more Crates and Keys and to have Keys be bought with real money. Though I do have to wonder why Crates in this game as still so very common. TF2 crates are not nearly as common to the point where you go "Hey, 17 that match." Though the amount of boxes is probably do to the fact that the daily missions give out a crap ton of boxes as well.
Just assume that you will find 1 key a week and otherwise you will have to pay for them. It is the easiest way to keep you sane with how these systems work.

yup tbh we should get least 1 key per 5 boxes i rckon to at least help entice folk to buy more keys. currently after nearly 200 boxes i've only been offered 3 keys as part of the mission, 2 from completing 8 missions and 1 as a reward but i had to use instant booster twice, i may as well have just bought a key for the cost of it

The problem isn't so much that keys are that rare alone, its that keys are that rare while boxes are so plentiful.
They could halve the number of box drops it seems and not really cause any problems.

As long as I can get the Caldari Officer Dropsuit I'm going to let this insanity slide.
But really, grind 109,000 SP in one day for 2 keys. I didn't feel like calling out of work to unlock Bionic Upgrade Skill books.

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if it's better to just horde the keys and then wait until February -- if Trello is any indication -- when there is a possibility of simple trading being introduced. Imagine the profit you can make selling these rare keys to players who may be cash poor but ISK rich.

Keys should of been 100-200(max) Aurum each.... It was about it being a fun couple bucks to open a bunch of boxes...
I Don't know what CCP was smoking sitting at the office and running these numbers. Whatever it was... They need to share. |

That is why i stopped playing, CCP goes full on greed tards and i dont have the patience to put up with this nonesense.

This is starting to remind me of the infamous monocle in Eve Online back during the Jita Riots of 2011. But then again, the keys we are being offered with didn't start off with $70 to get just one.
I'm just going to give CCP Shanghai the benefit of the doubt this time and assume that they are probably gauging the situation before they make any changes since this is a new concept for the likes of Dust 514 and that the mechanics we see might actually be a prelude to simple crafting as someone once suggested.

i'm sticking with my theory that same as with officer wepaons your more likely given stuff you're not trained in to. i've bought 10 keys and 8 out of the 10 gave me stuff i couldn't use (no skill into or not correct level) it was the same with the officer event. i got one or two items i could use but 80% was weaponry i had none or low skills in.
folk may think i'm craxy but plenty of corp mates have noticed the same thing happening too

No. I don't give a **** about the wording, this isn't the sidearm challenge, and I'm not CCP.

Don't u all get it....on the boxes description they say there are other ways of opening it.which means next update is going to have the other ways of opening it. Plus simple trade is coming..thts why so many boxes..the crappy stuff we get is what noobs will want. Like for example 56 basic neo scouts, a noob might want to buy tht form u, a veteran might want some of ur officer gear. My price would be 500k each if u want it soo bad. Next year might be dust 514 year lol.
