So much misinformation, so little time... Firstly, Belgium did not enact any new laws but the existing regulator made a determination that video game lootboxes were covered by existing laws. In theory, this determination could be challenged and overturned, but it's unlikely that any video game publisher would attempt to do so given the potential for negative PR. While there is a solid case that can be made about protecting minors from exposure to "gambling" of any form, my personal observation is that children are already being targeted by toy manufacturers with various "collectible" toys sold in blind bags/boxes, which seems to me to be a more insidious issue than lootboxes in videogames. Back to the topic at hand, the OP has probably done all they can at this point. They have created a forum thread outlining their issue and even offered some suggestions for possible resolution. ANet have to decide whether the lost sales revenue is worth expending the effort needed to create a solution. My gut feeling is that it might be worth ANet creating non-RNG bundles if they were made available to all regions, as they may pick up enough sales from outside Belgium from players that might not be interested in buying a bundle containing RNG items. However, it's ultimately a decision for ANet to make.

As someone who occasionally sells coins, I very much prefer the current price over what they were selling for in the first few years of the game.

I'm currently working on the third tier of The Colossus collection and yes it's cost more than buying the precursor now would have, but when I started on the collection the TP cost of the precursor was much higher. I'm also a very casual player, so the collections have been a great way to slowly make progress towards my goal.

I've only just cracked the 150 mark, so it will be a while till it's a problem I have to face, but I do think that there needs to be ways for capped players to use their excess luck.Halloween is a good time to boost MF if you're not capped, as the ToT bags contain a lot of essences of luck. With only a small amount of farming (<1000 bags) I've increased my MF by 4 or 5 percent this year
