Yeah, the packs have ridiculous odds at best, I spent 2.5k cartel coins on the Revan pack, the only noteworthy thing I got was a 2V-R8 customization, the rest were companion gifts/emotes and other crap I either bought for 1k credits on the GTN or already unlocked.

Just stay away from the packs, unless you have nothing better to do with your money.

some players giving me advice that opening pack is not just trying your luck but give you a little boost in your credit. well right now i'm very shortage with my credit (it is only 87k credit horrible) and i want to buy revan mask that cost 3 million. how long i can get those credit?
so some player giving me advice about try to gamble at cartel pack. beside you get chance to get the item your want, you can get more credit from Credit Boom or selling item to GTM. so i want to try just once this time by opening 15 packs all along hoping get revan's mask to keep it and other valuable item to sell it in GTM so i can buy others cartel item with credit.

If you want a specific item, you're better off selling the packs themselves on the GTN. The Blockade Runners pack, for instance, normally sells for 350-400K each, If you sold the 15 packs that you plan on opening, you'd have 5 to 6 Million credits when all is said and done and you could easily afford a Revan mask.

I'm pretty sure the intent of the cartel market was not to give people an alternative way to make in-game money. I know I never saw them advertised that way.

I laugh at you and all like you.

Cartel packs are designed to have very low drop rates on certain high credit selling items, hence the reason why people spend so much money on them. And this is how Bioware / EA make their extra money, because it teases their gamers into buying so many cartel coins.

well there is still possibility. in other games i always spend about $100 every 3 months just to get limited item set when they launch special set every 3 months. still many of other players spend more than me to get it. me and my friends try many trick to get best result for getting gambling item. some try to open the item when the server is low and some try it when the server is crowd. the result sometimes is very not logic but if you try it's works.
i don't know if in SWTOR there also have some myth open the cartel pack to get best result.
sometimes i wonder what if i try to open it when i clear a flash point what will i get. lol
