As far as I can see opening 10 at a time does nothing. I have done both, opened individual boxes and 10 at a time. I haven't seen any increased rate of getting anything special. I never buy keys. I have over 3000 or the damned things sitting in my salvage and I can't get rid of them another tactic CCP is using to try to get more money out of people.

The only reason I save keys now is so I'm not always opening drop boxes. I open them 10 at a time because it's more time efficient, not because I believe I'll get anything good from any of them.

Allegedly, opening 10 at once guarantees you will get "at least one rare item". Officer drops seem to count, so getting even a single wolfman's scrambler pistol among piles of worthless advanced gear would meet the claim.

Several of my special items (quafe weapons, skins) have come from just opening boxes one at a time from the daily freebie mission, and this was after the introduction of the 10 key unlock

Thumb Green Elephant Riders 2	Posted - 2016.01.25 21:43:00 - [10] - Quote I opened 9 boxes last night before I went to bed. The first 5 had officer weapons in it, 6th had 7 Frame's in it (didn't pay attention to how many each box of the weapons had. 7th was aurum crap and the 8th had a Quafe PLC in it. Don't remember what the last one had, nothing special I'm sure. Edit: Used keys from missions. Most of what I see around here is just a bag of dicks in need of some kicks.

People actually buy keys? yep, and whats sad is that the people buying them are probably gambling addicts, and not well off, similar to lottery ticket and scratch off purchasers. CCP is really despicable for praying on people in this fashion, but they'll never take responsibility for it, just as long as the dice keeps rolling, the hoes keep hoeing, and the "money" keeps flowing. Why people would purchase keys for a clearly low probability of getting something you can actually use, let alone something of worth is beyond me, especially when you take into account the fact that you have to assume CCP is going to lower prices, or the difficulty of getting better stuff in this new update. When demand goes down, as we all know DUST is experiencing, they have to lower the price and difficulty of achieving SP, Isk, ect in order to keep people somewhat intrigued. That's the true reason there's silence. Why would you give any clue to this if people are still buying your stupid ****. Would any of these people purchase things that are going to be much cheaper after the update? Of course not, and CCP are a business, and making money is number 1. They're milking the last ounce outta this cash cow, and "that" is the big "controversy".

Some people claim that if you save keys and use them in batches of 10 at a time, you will increase your chance of getting something good. My position in this is that if it's a game of chance you will NOT increase your chances of getting something good from any one box by opening them 10 at a time. You WILL increase your chance of getting something good out of all the boxes you open in that one session, over the chance of getting something good from one box. Eventually, if you open enough boxes, you will get something good, but how many boxes will that be? Buying keys to open boxes is just gambling.

Sorry if you can't believe it. What part of rare are you guys missing? Some people have luck, get a quafe in first 100 or so boxes. It's never what they wanted, mind you.

In a game of chance, there is no way you can increase your chances of anything just by concentrating the number of trials you have in one go. The only way you increase the chance of something specific is doing more trials. Even then, each trial still has the same chance of succeeding. Your four unique quafe weapons and three faction skins were pure chance, and I believe the numbers speak for themselves. You had to open 2000 of them to get just those. Others have managed to get almost as much opening less than 100. It's chance, nothing more. If it were true that opening 10 at a time increased your chances of getting something good, you would have gotten a lot more than you did from that 2000 boxes.

In a game of chance, one person can succeed 10 times in a row, while someone else never succeeds in over 100 attempts. If this is truly chance, as it's supposed to be, there is no way you can increase your chances of getting something good by opening the same number of boxes 10 at a time, only by opening more boxes. Even then, the chance of getting something good from any one box is EXACTLY the same. Some people are just lucky. Don't try to be lucky by buying keys. That's just gambling. CCP would love you though. :)
