It will provide motivation/incentive.
People have no way of abusing this, as the most anyone could get in a day would be like,....idk, 30.
If CCP added more valuable things such as officer weapons and 7 day boosters into the mix, it would be fabulous.

There really isn't any reason not to do this, and it would help balance the, "Aurum/pay-to-win" vs. "The grinder" dispute.

I rather reduce the strongbox drop rate by a factor 10, and keep the keys untouched.
The new stuff they adding in Warlord 1.0 increases the value of strong boxes, but you should not have to spend a fortune every week if you want to open them all (not that I do).

Ohh, and sell them... Yes, my new Warbarge will clutter up otherwise, with no space for tanks and stuff Blink

Nooooo....

Give us an Empty room that we can enter from our mercenary quarters...

Then in this empty room we can stack strongboxes and make a fort Minecraft stylez... Then invite all our friends to behold our castle made out of strongboxes! Bear

Thanks for lightening the mood, but went crazy there for a second. lol.

Admit it... If you where 100 boxes short of finishing your castles Clock tower... You would be out grinding strongboxes rather then complaining about how many you have Blink

Big Burns Dem Durrty Boyz General Tso's Alliance 405	Posted - 2015.01.27 20:25:00 - [2] - Quote These two factors have been going at it for years now. -The Grinder: A player who spends a lot of time playing Dust, and therefore acquires more materials/SP/stats in general. -Mr. Pay-to-win: Usually a player who doesn't have as much time to play Dust, and therefore buys aurum to close the gap. Strongboxes could be the distributing factor or solution to this imbalance. By putting the best of both worlds into these strongboxes. I'm a try-hard, because half my team sits in the MCC.

Just erase the stats and let's all hold each others dcks and run around complimenting one another on running over people with LAV's. Nah, just listen to the guys who haven't helped support this game, 12 year old minecraft players, who hop on the forums and tell CCP to make this game the ultimate sand box with no incentive or direction. Just keep giving them more toys and no reason to shoot them other than to see the pretty lights flash before their brain-dead eyes ,with drool coming out of their mouths. Totally bro, Fcking totally!

Haven't gotten one in weeks. I got Cala's, Gastun's and Thale's in three matches yesterday. Just sain'. However, that may have reduced my cosmic chances of ever winning a high stakes lottery... Just answer one question for me. I'm rubbing the lamp here, but not wanting three wishes, only one answer. Why do you hold us back? You know what I'm talking about.
