This is kaabacir, I wonder why I dont get atlease 1 arcane pet after I spent 21000 plat? Please look at my hisory and my credit card history add it up I spent close to $1000 or less. Is that how it supposed be? How much more money do I need to put in just get dam arcane pets.. I am get unhappy about it. And out of all I only got 10 mythic armor, necklace, and ring. No arcane pet or arcane weapon....
Someone just shoot me!!
Pick a number of crates that your ok with losing. And don't bet on them giving you anything. Imo, save your plat for everything else, but locked.
Lol at $1000 dollars. I would be happy if ive spent that money in rl.
Ive spent 9100 plats in this game ddnt get even a single arcane, all i got was BS mythics that was outdated.thats why i stopped spending money in this game.

and ive spent 30 plat opening locks hehe.
just 2k 2k 2k.
You paid $1,000 for platinum, and you get what you paid for. You used that platinum to gamble with your luck at opening the locked crates. Most people overlook this. There are loads of other ways to spend your platinum. You arent paying for locked crates. You are paying for platinum!
It's much like a casino. You play with luck. You can't walk in, lose $1,000 and expect to guarantee the jackpot.

Buying plat(especially if it's just to open locks) is like giving money to air.
Like someone above me said you'd feel alot more self satisfaction if you spent money you would on plats on stuff in real life.
Why buy plats for a virtual game(that requires 100% luck and no gauranteed good items) when you can buy yourself a new pair of shoes? Or pay bills? Or go hang out with friends?

The way you put it is so true.
And the truth sounds terrible!
If you wouldn't gamble in real life, don't get tricked into gambling on a virtual game.

21k plat, really man -__-
No arcane, its Locked Grand of Crap
It's all upto you and what you can afford to donate to keep AL profitable. You should open locked expecting 2k2k2k every time then anything else is a bonus. When I finally got my arcane banner I stopped buying plat on my main account and now if I ever do get weak and decide to gamble I make a new account just for the 50% first time buyer bonus. Set a limit of what you can afford to lose and expect nothing that way you may not be as disappointed.

You could of probably bought a arcane if you spent the plat wisely such as on slags for 250 plat then selling them or buying elx kits with plat and selling in auction but I guess the temptation for locks is too much which I understand

Even a plat to gold conversion. 21k plat is 21m gold enough for a few arcane pets or a kershal but..
sts your saying the Arcane ring with your conversion rates is
$90=1700plat
1700plat x 80=135k plat=135m gold (rough price of ring)
$90x80=$7200 for real thats what your valuing this one item at!?
And don't say STS doesn't control market prices because they are controlled by availability of an item, and availability is controlled by drop rates, drop rates are controlled by... merchers? Farmers? The top guilds colluding? No it's STS.
Once again im making a valid point and genuine concern by many many player's, once again STS will not comment regarding my post.
Anyone else noticed when people start to flame we get a crappy event to divert our attention from the real issues with this game?
And you wonder why people are farming plat making the economy even worse!

Just to be clear: We're not here to tell him how to manage his money and his life.
@OP My advice would be to convert your plat to gold, directly or by egg sales and luck kits.
This way you could have roughly 40M from the plat you spend.

That like the same thing to "telling him what to do".
Advices will be irrelevant if not done.

Here's what the situation is like:
Keep your advice limited to in-game, don't comment on his personal life.

Its all about "luck", some people are lucky some arent. For example in game I know a guildie who opens 350 locks and got kershal (from a comment of him on forum). If you shoot a fly, but the chance to hit it each time is only 0.2%, will you ever guarantee a chance to hit it after 10000 times?

dear kabby :) you know my shoulder as friend is here when we mad on sts, their ignoring of us and our "pure luck" hehehe :) Yes i agree he could buy something else then open the lockeds and surely he did that too... he is here almost 3 years and tried with platinum and normal farming to gain some things.. and he did partly... but the other part is that what sts calls "pure luck" is really very lucky for some people while others for same amount dont get almost anything, nice system really. This is double blade, and yes i agree no matter what we do, farming, or help ourselves with platinum, all is the same recently.. this game and its economy is going down rapidly. We got ignored mostly or get only small things to distract us from main things and promises that in most cases have been broken... is that greed or what? i really do not know anymore... but kabby we continue to play in our stlye and with smile on our face, this is just a game and we are people :)

It may be just your luck, although id like to think that once you have reached a specific plat amount sts increaces your chances in getting new things.
I have approx 40k plat spent on one acc. (the total amount is known only for me).
I got 2 sams, whim, all myth weapons except for the frost bow, all other mythic crap, but i have never got necro fossil or arcane shard.
It troubles me that people can open one lock and get it. I think there should be a hidden bottom limit on how much plat you need to spend for this to be in your loot table.
Try opening only the event locks as they yield well. Out of normal locks only recently i got Maul, shame it costs nothing now.

To answer your question if you should keep buying platinum, yes you should if you can afford it and like to indulge yourself on this game. But do it for fun, because nowhere is it stated that opening a certain number of locked crates guarantees an item you want. It is based solely on luck. Spend your platinum knowing this fact. Platinum can be spent on a variety of things, opening crates is only one of them. Elixirs, ankhs, mythic pets in egg form, respect kits, plat exclusive vanity, you can buy it all and sell smartly (at the right time) to save up gold.

We always tell people to spend the plat on something other than locked crates but there would be no mythics and arcanes if everyone did that.
The poor guy spent $1000 dollars on a game he loves and should have everything. This gambling system is garbage and does nothing but prey on the addictive personalities a game of this type brings in. It's sad really.

I agree if people are willing to spend that kind of money they should be awarded. Also if STS actually explained how their system works it would help. Not some random players theory but STS. Enough with broken promises and crap events. Get to the real issues like locked chest and class balance. This is beyond unprofessional.

Hardly beyond unprofessional he spent that much money knowing he might not of got something and the gamble didn't pay off. He knew what he was in for because the countless amounts of threads saying locks aren't worth it and other options to get the most out of his plat. Personally I think the events have been pretty good if you don't like them instead of complaining go play order and chaos or something and stop moaning at the company when peoe can't help themselves but gamble on a game they knew the risks

Ssneakyskills,
First off you sound like a player that's just been free loading off people who actually financially keep the game going. Next it hasn't been a good event since Halloween. Finally promising certain things are going to get done but they never get done is unprofessional. In business when you say you are going to do something you do. If person chooses to invest in something they enjoy that's their decision. You should be happy it's people that aren't cheap and invest in the game or you wouldn't have a game to play.
Kind Regards

Yes i knew the risk u know something i am tired hearing it basic on luck or it randomly. Now anyone who support sts with this kind cash should be part with sts. They should show a appreciate for higher payer cause they support it if wasn't for them game would never exist.. thank u

In your purchases, it clearly states you're paying money for PLATINUM, NOT GUARANTEED LOOT. Thank you for supporting sts so they can keep the game going. $3000-5000? If you used your brain, you couldve had much more than a completely maxed out toon. You clearly knew what you were doing,(gambling with locks). If you resold ankhs or luck elixers, you couldve got around 3.3mil or so for $100. Now lets do the math. If you made 3.3 mil per $100, and lets say you spent $4000, just for an estimate. Thats an approximate of 120mil+ gold. Seriously. Math isnt so difficult haha, you could have played it safe but chose not to. I dont see how this makes sts obligated to give you arcane Items.

I think you'll find I'm a long serving player for sts since 2013 ive been buying plat in pocket legends and arcane legends so no I'm not free loading thanks I buy plat every sale. People Shoudnt feel like they should spend money on the game anyway it's a free to play game. You woudnt know the with those inaccurate assumptions anyway

even if u go to the casino continuosly and spend money the table at which u play wont have mercy for u it wont think hey this guy has been losing since 3yrs let me make him lucky this doesnt happed same with al the loot table wont have mercy for u it gives a player opening lock for the first time same oppurtunity as a player opening locj for 3years and i like this cauz
this doesnt let the p2w overdominate the f2p or the p2p guys will just know oh i need to spend this much plat and i get arcane where as the f2p guy got to suffer
and a lot of top games follow this system in hoc u can open a box for some emblems(gold in al language)and i always open that and i nevr get anything good lol
and i dont complain cauz ik that is how the mechanics of game is ty.
Question: Why did you want to buy plat?
If you look at my save money thread, you can look at the ways to spend $1000. But seriously though, if you keep buying platinum for locks, you're gonna have a little gambling problem. Spend your money efficiently. Buy platinum in small chunks, and use it for more useful things like ankhs and other stuff. That's a sure fire way to get gold.
