So I got one of the super packs and 3 single packs totaling,

27 packs.... I must have the worst luck ever, because I didn't get a single armor chest. 4 speeders, (no walker version) Ton of junk, some comp gifts and a lot of the junk armor white junk armor parts.

Most I have ever spent in one shot on TOR, I really was hoping for at least one full set.

Luck of the draw, I can't even remember how many this happened to me, especially with the packs that had the chairs and thrones and skiffs back awhile ago. Oh and I never got a Revan mask. It happens, just hope that some of the stuff you got will sell and then you can buy the pieces you want., hopefully somethings from those 27 packs is worth some creds.

I sure hope so, because right now I would of been better off buying credits from farmers (something I would never do) then what I'll recoup from selling the items.

Where is the fun in that.

I was hoping for a whole set of armor, at least with one of the rares, instead I received two leggings and gloves.

I do like to support the game as well, but this time I feel like I shouldn't of.

That's awful, I'm sorry. I know some people get in-game credits for buying these packs and selling them unopened, maybe that'd work better(especially after the pack is embargoed in late August).

Lesson learned? I learned my lesson before the F2P in Mass Effect 3 MP. Lottery packs are never worth it in the long run. You might get lucky, sure, but on average you're better off selling the packs on GTN and buying the item(s) you really, really want.

The reason they use this model is because people buy them. A lot. I mean, the cost of the hypercrate is more than most people put into other F2P games, ever.

Well you either open the boxes for fun, or you sell them for profit.
You can't expect to do both with any regularity.

I'm not saying the drop rates are fine (we'll have to wait until tomorrow at least to find that out), but you really shouldn't open a hypercrate and expect to get enough good items to make a killing on the GTN.

That was never my point, if you go re-read, I wanted some full sets of Armor to use. I get credits just fine from pvp and dailies, I don't need packs for that.

When I was talking about worth of selling, I meant that I didn't get any full sets or anything worth selling, so 64 bucks might as well been flushed down a toilet.
