Plats Waste Of Money?

[Thejulien]

So I Decided To Buy 50$ Worth In Plats(600) Today Sadly for The FIrst Time. I Spent All my gold on locks and opened all... Sad To Say I Only Got A Bunch Of Needless Armour that sells for about 1k. Started the openeing with 15k and got 280k from getting 2k cold in it. If I Sell All The Cheap armour I Might Get 350k max. And I Thought Transfering Plats to gold was a waste of money . If I Traded the money I Would've gotted 600k instead of 350k max... This Made Me Feel So Butthurt and Im So Discouraged from Buying Plats Ever Again. I Told My Guildies and Some of them said they've spent up to 300$ in plats, Opened all In Locks and Got Absolutely Nothing Good. And This Was in x2 Weekend So I Wonder How Hard It Is To Get Rarae Items During The Normal Season. Is It Just Me Or Are Plats A Big Money Drainer If You Dont Spend Thousands...???
