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.

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.

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

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.

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.
dronex

Ahh I love it when a standard thread sinks past being on page one. It shows that people are too lazy to search.
There is a standard thread that's been going on for over a year now along the lines of "what did you get from the CoW". Go QQ there.

Only problem is that I know even though I'll get nothing I'll be tempted to go back and get more. Same with Zaishen Keys.

Getting 3 armbraces in a row is just stupid, you should at least get an elixir or two.
That's the problem here - someone gets 3 elixirs, other gets 3 armbraces. Yet one will consider themselves lucky, and other unlucky.
Steboy93
ahh well, it's just unlucky, and very lucky for the guy with 3 arms and mallyx, random eh?

The OP took a gamble and got unlucky. Would s/he make a whine thread at a Lottery's forums because they bought five tickets and only got £1 instead of the several-million pound jackpot? Probably not. Sounds like the guy just wants to whine to other people.
Random generators: can't fix what isn't broke.

You got unlucky, so what. No need to create a thread because of it.
