The 24 packs are very expensive. I bought 1 yesterday assuming I'd get the Rancor. Well, I didn't. And I was really upset. I couldn't believe I spent all that money and didn't get it. There were so many people trying. I asked a few people if they got it and they said "no".

I only bought the 24 pack because I assumed it was a guarantee. I'm sure the others buy the for that reason too. It's kind of ridiculous that we spend that kind of money and are not guaranteed the special mount. I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to get them. Of all the packs I purchased trying to get the special mounts I have only gotten 1.

You gambled and lost. Never expect or assume anything when it comes to _RANDOM GENERATED CONTENT_ in a pack. It's absolutely inconceivable to me that so many of you believe you are entitled to anything from the packs just because you buy a hypercrate. The content is RANDOM. Once you purchase it, you've thrown the dice.

You lost. Deal with it.

Guess you found what happens when you assume.

You have posted this same whine in the general discussion, suggestion and cartel market forums. If you are looking for sympathy, I doubt you will find much in any of those threads, and rightly so, IMO.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck, but this isn't a "problem" needing to be "fixed".

It's a gamble in the most literal meaning of the word. If you really wanted a guarantee, you should have just bought the packs then sold them on the market to earn the credits needed to purchase whatever items you're after.

Make it a "guarantee" to have X in it, and then X will soon flood the market and that "ultra rare" item will end up one of the single most common.

Tough luck. Next time, know better than to assume you're entitled to anything special for buying a hypercrate. Not all of us are as lucky as me and manage to snag a Bantha in the very last unopened box in the only hypercrate they'll probably ever buy. Unless you just have the real dollars to spare, it ain't worth it.

Good god what is this post 3 or 4 from you on this topic? What part of gambling is RANDOM do you not comprehend?

I imagine you going to Vegas, going up to the machine for whatever car motorcycle et cetera they have displayed at the entrance, putting in a dollar, then throwing a $hitfit when you don't win and demanding to be given it anyway...

RNG or not, some extra reward and incentive for buying a very expensive hypercrate would be nice.

NO. Just NO.

BW is under no obligation to provide any extra incentive or reward for buying EXACTLY what is advertised.

Entitled attitudes like yours are one of the reasons we see posts like the OP from people that want to whine when they do not get EXACTLY what they want, even if it is just a set of robes.

you already do.

Compare buying 24 packs @ regular price than compare with the Hypercrate cost and guess what you already have a 10% discount.

Hmm, what's that saying about people who ASSume..?

Interesting game Dave... The only way to win is to never play...

Gambling can be a sickness for some people. If you keep losing over and over only to come back for more... imagine what a night in Vegas would do to you.

The defenders of the system surprise me...

A single hypercrate is the cost of a full game ($50). All someone wants out of it is a Rancor or Walker or whatever.

For $50, it should damm well come with it. That so many of you defend this nonsense is sad.

If that's all they want, then they can buy the rancor, or the walker off the GTN. No dollars necessary.

Because no one is forcing you to buy the crate? Find it on GTN. Yes, it'll be high priced, but that's because it's very high in demand and very low in supply. They are rare.

Having a Rancor or a Walker or a Whatthehellever isn't a right in this game, it's a luxury good.

Again, you're so far hoodwinked that you continue to defend it, no matter how nuts it is...

"rare" It is a bunch of digital 1s and 0s, there is nothing rare about it...

Likely you'll get a few items in a hypercrate that sell for a decent amount, and hopefully you should be able to buy yourself the rancor right off the bat. Otherwise, you can compare the price of the rancor you want on the GTN (assuming it's there) and compare the prices of your 24 hypercrates and try selling them off without opening them to be able to afford the rancor.

If there's no rancor on the GTN, then..... you're stuck playing the gambling game if you want it right now. If you're fine with waiting, I'm sure another one will pop up there eventually.

Yeah, there's your problem right there. You don't understand the concept of RNG. You bought a crate and lost, deal with it.

While I don't think the OP made a good call by *assuming* something and not looking up what his chances were before spending $50, I hate the RNG / lottery based cash shop systems with a passion as well.

Luckily it's only cosmetic in this game so far. I opened 4 packs with my saved up subscription rewards and well: never again.

The grief which was Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is still too fresh in my mind. Same thing with the champion and battlemaster bags at the start of this game, although those weren't paid for with irl cash.

Don't even get me started on something like Age of Wushu / Wulin with their lottery crap.

Sigh...

That misses the point completely...

That a RNG crate costs $50, the cost of an entire game, and all it contains are some random fluff items, with a low chance of giving what everyone really wants... is the problem... it is undefendable, that you are defending it is proof that you're hoodwinked...

The system is the problem, yet you defend it.

Nobody NEEDS a Rancor. Nobody. It does nothing a normal speeder can not do.

The rancor is just what you said, a random fluff item.

And it's likely he has enough stuff to sell in the other 'random fluff items' he got in the crates to be able to afford his preferred 'random fluff item'.

So he wanted to spend $50 on a Rancor? That's what he did, and it looks like he can get one now.

Nobody needs to spend $50 on fluff either, that door swings both ways.

Why do you continue to defend a terrible system?

Why do you defend the one who holds the ENTIRE blame? Why do you try to put the blame on someone other than the one who deserves it? BW is not to blame for the OP's assumptions. BW is not to blame for the OP spending money on packs and then opening those packs instead of selling them on the GTN to get the credits to buy that mount he wants.

If you go into a casino and bet $1000 on red, does that guarantee you that red will come up? No. In fact, there is less than a 50% chance it will land on red. If it lands on anything other than red, you lose. The casino is not to blame for your loss of $1000. You are.

The same applies to the OP. He gambled and lost. That is all there is to it.

Its like going to Vegas an putting money in the machine to win the Caddy/Harley/RV they have inside the door. Just because you put money in the machine, it doesn't gurantee you will win the prize, all it does is buy you a -CHANCE- at winning the prize.

If you don't like the odds, there is a very simple solution....

DONT PLAY THEM!

JGDC I really wonder how some people survive to adulthood with how little they allow themselves to understand basic concepts.

Likewise, I don't support what Vegas does either, why do you?

It is just such a basic concept, gambling is wrong, or did you fail to learn that simple concept when you reached adulthood?
