Make that game Pay to Win - Lets go Trion!

What about the random event reward fix? Do you recognise any other purpose than people buying lockboxes with real money? What about the promises they made? Thats getting ridiculous.

How much did you spend on lockboxes man? was it over 150 dollars US? because I'm at that and it was a tough lesson learned but you know what? They aren't gonna "fix" the game to allow for people to simply win by playing. The color tier progression is mostly worthless anyways since many many many people right here on this forum has mentioned that they are finding weapons of white level rarity taht are either equal or lower level lock than an orange of the same weapon category that are still better. So really, what you are proposing is not really an option simply because the weapons don't scale based on rarity. I've had 6 from SR's to RL's to AR's and not one stood above the rest of their non legendary counterparts.

Unless the keys are disabled via non-RMT means then it's not pay to win.

And even then it's not the only way to get the items they give, so it's debatable whether it would be even without earned keys.

I haven't spent any money on the game besides on the game itself. I think you got me wrong.

There is scalling, it comes in the shape of the bonuses placed on the weapons.

Buying lockboxes that will unlock items for a level nothing character... I would say it's that persons own fault if they get nothing good.

i play since 2 days, and say what you wanna say, you get ( or got) keys way too fast.

I mean i want this game too last longer than just 1-2 weeks nad for that lockboxes and other stuff should feel like a real reward not just a thing i get because im on the currency limit again.

Wow...
Lockboxes are so easy to get with resources I don't understand why people would pay for them.
This isn't a case of being "good" at the game either or spending 100s of hours. Some roadside events give you keys, and the one "scitterlings" is so easy you can complete it in about 20 seconds of just running over bugs.
I think this is a tough learning experience for anyone who payed for lockboxes. Next time you play an online game, especially an MMO, figure out how you would normally acquire "premium" paid content before you whip out the credit car.

You misread the thread >.>. From the latest patch, roadside instances no longer give keycodes and the OP is discussing the ramifications of that.

I saw a few and they are like 1% to 3% mag increases or 15% grenade or 10% EGO cooldown on kill with weapon etc. It's comparable to Faction Vendor purple level weapons or purple level drop weapons. My fav is when you get one that doesn't synergize with your character origin and how a lot of weapons seem to emphasize this hidden affinity. Like a ton of Shotties will generally synergize with an Outlaw origin but not a SAW or an AR.
