The scheme relies on players sitting there looking at the stacks of boxes in their inventory, tempted to see if they'll get lucky. Cryptic games broadcast a system message every time someone hits a lockbox jackpot, which is just an extra turn of the screw.<br />So yeah, misleading clickbait headline from Massively OP. Can't say I'm surprised. Some of the time, they're good (and are still where I go to get my MMO news) but some of their articles, especially the op-ed ones, are just dire attempts at trolling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-51123042193632435202016-01-29T21:13:48.758+00:002016-01-29T21:13:48.758+00:00This blog is not called Commando Buzz!

You might get something terrible, or you might get something amazing.<br /><br />This Grand Chance Pack is coming a lot closer to that definition than previous SWTOR packs.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.com
