Coffer of Whispers ripoff

Worked my arse off for a while to farm enough gems for 5 gemsets, traded them for coffers, and I know it's a gamble but it shouldn't be this SHIT

I got..

5 Scrolls of the Lightbringer

Well, not too bad, I thought.

5 Elixirs of Valor

Meh.. maybe the next one will be good

5 Elixirs of Valor

Wtf? That's bad luck. I hope I don't get more.

5 Elixirs of Valor

Ok that's just gay. If this one is valors I'll cry

5 Elixirs of Valor

.... *wails and prepares to post QQ thread at guru*

Anyone else got stories about their crap luck with stuff like this?

Zaishen keys (yes i know there's a Zkey chest drop thread, but thats for the good drops mainly :P), or anything else you took a gamble on.

lol thats just bad luck saw your auction too lol good luck.

Yes. This is just what we need. Another QQ thread....

yah i feel you on this coffers are pretty crappy IMO. i've done it twice and both times i got 5 Elixirs of Valor....... i just save up for armbraces now

...and why do you think it is called a "gamble"?

Honestly, wherever possible, I avoid gambles. Yes, there's a chance that you'll "get rich quick", but I'd rather cash in on the value of the gamble versus the end result.

That's why I always sell my Birthday Gifts, as I'd rather use the eventual proceeds I'll get from selling them all to get the one or two minis I really want.

Just bad luck. No reason to start another QQ thread.

Hey, I like to QQ

Yeah I was wondering whether to take the gamble or sell the gemsets.. At first I just took 2 coffers and opened them and got crap, but then I thought, what the hell, it's only a game, and did the rest. Only reason I'm so annoyed is that I got 20 pieces of crap. If i'd got more gems, or rubies, or something, then fair enough, I'd have been happy, but 20 elixirs of valor...

I call BS

*cocks shotgun*

QQ threads, guru needs more of them,

[/end sarcasm]

I would post something about rewards and the slim chance at getting something decent and thats what makes it attractive, but I really couldn't be bothered for an obvious trolling thread like this

My friend got an armbrace off one once... but yes super rare gambles for most people are not going to pay off. It's just an expensive lotto ticket. If you want the armbrace save up gems and get one for sure.

Unlucky mate, dont fall for the stupid gold sinks in the game in future. I wouldn't recommend ranting here about it either, even on good topics theres more flaming than actual discussion so a topic like this is doomed for failure.

o.0 I thought i saw another +1 thread.

I did I did.....

Offtopic:

Yes the random generator sucks in GW, what else is new?

Bought 5 Gemsets yesterday....I got:

-Miniature Mallyx

-Armbrace

-Bunch of Titan Gems

-Armbrace

-Armbrace

Guess I stole your drops.

...and in the long run, the person that wins the lotto is...

The Person Who Sells the Lotto Tickets.

nice way to show the randomness

I've never even made any attempt to buy or open a coffer of whispers because after looking at the crappy items that they contain through wiki.guildwars.com, they aren't worth it.

They don't call them scamboxes for nothing.

It's people like you that make me feel extremely unlucky. That is a heck of a lucky streak you have there. I think I have opened one and got 5 Elixers of Valor. Haven't DoA'd since so ya.

got 3xKeys :S

i exchanged about 20 gemsets for coffers... not one armbrace or mini mallyx. i think i got owned way harder than you did :P
