...and was even checking around to see who was looking to grind Adventures, until I realized the cool stuff is in RNG boxes. I bet a greater number would grind the adventures during this event if there was even a slim chance of getting the RNG/Pay blocked items. Now, I understand F2P needs to make money, and I would have bought boxes had my grind not worked out; but with the past drop rates and the boxes being cluttered with the same decor I would be getting from the grind - I might get one this time if I have the omnibits.
 
Incentive to play - These events give us an extra merchant to buy from, not a prize to play and chase after.
 
Incentive to buy - These boxes give us little hope for what we want, and in turn give us little incentive to buy.
 
You have a great F2P model and these events are great to do between content drops - but you are handicapping real incentive to play or buy things during these when they have so much more potential. 
 
...but maybe that's just me.

Same thing with the monster hunter event. 
 
"Here spend a shit tonne of time and effort running old boring content for the CHANCE to get rewarded for it" 
 
lel no thanks...

At least, I won't be disoriented coming from STO, gotta find some positive stuff to say.
 
Wait, no, that's not a positive at all! Even the Strain isn't as unfairly random in its mutations as the lockboxes are in their prizes.	
----
			
At least the wording for the Sim-Chase event doesn't even suggest the possibility that we'll need to pay real world money to even GET a chance in the first place!
 
There, something positive. :p

			If it's like Space Chase - the music comes from the RNG boxes - I'm totally fine with that. I think that was a well done event with a reason to buy from the cash shop. The only thing I found silly was hearing DasMoose grabbing like 49 boxes and seeing no music given there were 3 tracks.

Ugh, I don't even want to think about how many boxes I bought trying to get the music.

			I would kind of understand it the free players had to buy the keys during these events but double dipping the signature players for more money, not ok. If they keep this up I'm surly going to go elsewere with my gaming cash. Carbine and NC Soft are out of thin ice for me since this kind of RNG box crap/ bad loot drove me away from GW 2. This is starting to smell like they are sliding down into the same cesspool with this too.  :angry:	
----
			 Carbine is desperate for money so their doing these cash grab events.. Which i wouldn't mind if the shop actually had shit worth buying cosmetic wise which their current offerings lack luster.. We have already told them what we are willing to spend money on.. and they still act like they got no clue about anything anymore. Ok fine rng boxes i get it.. but i wont buy it.. the costumes for the most part look like shit (they need to swap art directors cuz that person has no taste in fashion) Where is the really cool decor that we can straight buy from the shop... nothing there either. Why do the other NCsoft games have cool things to buy in their cash shops but wildstar doesn't... it just baffles me that carbine has zero clue on how to cash in their strengths and all they do is sell us on their weakness. Hopefully carbine will catch on to this before it digs a big hole for itself... cuz i really want to buy stuff from the shop but as it stands nothing of interest there other than service tokens atm.

			I know it's ANOTHER Equivar mount but at least a little effort has gone into this one as it's not just a straight reskin.

If that is considered something so greedy and terrible to you, try:
Swtor
RIFT
RoM
Gw2
Allods
Skyforge
Lotro
DnD
 
 
all have worse...FAR WORSE cash grabs and things, so please, just don't...
----
			Eh, just like the past events, I will refuse to purchase the cash shop boxes. I'll participate how I can with the in-game aspect but that's it. If they ever decide to put those kinds of things up on the shop as straight purchases, then they'll get my money. :)	
----
			
OP hit it on the head as far as I'm concerned.
 
Wont participate, and not gonna buy anything. Also cancelled my signature since I don't want to support a game that keeps running by ripping off it's players.
Gambling doesn't pay off in real life, and it certainly doesn't pay off in WS.	
----
			As a new player I tried to participate in the Boss event, but never could figure out where the bosses were, so I couldnt participate, now this one, I dont have any clue what  sim-chase is, so I would not be able to participate as well, oh well, it will save me from buying stuff I dont need.

			@Kampolo look for a new vendor for this event in the lvl 50 contract/daily area of your factions main city. This event is all about Adventures. You also want to type in this command no matter the faction /cjoin EntityLFM

Do you hear that? It's the sound of the NCsoft top executives giving each other high-fives.
