Default Are Zaishen Keys Worth it

Do you think that zaishen keys are worth buying, when you can waste a lot of balthzar faction or money on a waste of items coming from the chest. Many people have used 20 or more keys and came up with half way decent items. Should a-net increase the chance of better items coming from the chest, somewhat like hoh drops, would it also boost the economy of guild wars?

you want to make it like a HoH chest.....that would mess up the econemy, alot easier to get 5k balth then to get to halls..

its perfect the way it is, rare drops should stay rare.

They are worth it to the same extent that any other chest is worth it. Which is, not at all worth it. But for some bizarre reason many people use lockpicks etc. anyhow even though they are not worth it. So I don't see why Zaishen chests not being worth it would change that trend.

Lockpicks = money sink, balthazar = free, yes they are worth it.

Of course they aren't worth 5k, not with all those consumables in there.

The creme brulee and flask of firewater I got from my two tries at the chest say no. The 3-5k I can make per key says yes.

I'm at UAX. The only PvP I enjoy is AB, meaning the tournament tokens are useless to me. So I don't have anything else to spend my Balth on.

It only takes about 30 seconds to grab a key and open the chest.

So its worth it for me.

afaik, Zaizhen keys are FREE!, I just play PvP as normal, and sometimes go and get some free drops.
