The mechanic's for dropping the legendary named item needs to be addressed. There should be no reason to not have received the named item by the 5th try. My suggestion for being able to achieve this would be adding a bonus on subsequent purchases. So the first purchase would retain the normal mechanics/chances as you have currently in place. The second purchase would add a 25% bonus to your chances, the third 50%, fourth 75%, and the fifth would be 100% chance of dropping the named legendary weapon.
I can see this as only increasing platinum revenue. As there are many players out there that will not buy these item packs due to the uncertainty of not receiving anything. Theoretically one could never receive the named item under the current mechanics. Which is why many people will not purchase these items. I believe most people would find it acceptable to try 3-5 times to receive the named item. And hearing how some people have tried 15 or more times without receiving the named item only fuels their fires to keep a firm grip on their platinum.
