My opinion about purchasing goods has always been simple; If I pay for something, I expect to get something of worth in return. RNG would have been fine if they all had the same value of what you pay for. They do not, however. There are big differences between the skins available.Lootboxes aren't a thing where I live, for exactly this reason. I don't even think it's allowed in our stores due to violation of the rules. I feel strongly against this practice. Not to mention it's only a week available, so people have no ability to save up over several months and purchase it anyway. That just adds to the douchebag feeling.
I'm already against the RNG aspect of black lion chests, so it won't change anything or make the idea of 'getting something' better. In the end it's still the aspect of value. If you get something you value as worthless, you basically got nothing. The idea of me spending money, but risking to get nothing in return makes it a gamble I do not want to play. I've never spend a single coin on black lion chests either and this will be just the same :/
