Why would they only be active for a limited time? Especially considering the delays that also cause loot boxes to be delayed.

Digital scarcity to make people buy gold.

I mean, you can buy silver for gold at horrible exchange rate. Wouldn’t it be profitable for darkflow to let people gamble as much as possible in hopes they buy gold to get more silver?
If they do that, there is no urgency to get silver quickly as you could tell yourself “Why buy gold if I can earn some from playing? There is no hurry” and therefore less reasons to buy silver with gold/ buying gold.

The price is terrible, considering the chance of getting squads from boxes, buying any premium squad (even the worst ones) is much more economical than burning money on loot boxes. Each squad event will probably cost you as much as 6 premium br5 squads.
Well, some people just want to collect/ own stuff.
which is kind of silly because there will be a day when darkflow shuts the servers down for this game, if people want to collect things, they should collect things they can physically possess and not held at the mercy of somebody else

Well, that risk applies to 9/10 online games and games distributed by Ubisoft. And to Gajin’s credit, their other games apart from WT are dead, and they still have the servers open even if only ten people are playing them.

not a good idea… that way u could… ummm break the game by giving… tecnically infinite stingers :_: since there is not limit on how many event weapons u could get
i calculated the odds of getting stinger when lootboxes were first available… you should get 1 stinger for around 15 million silver. it was something like 2% of 1%(or was it 2%) chance for 5k silver. even richest players only had max 10-20 million silver after 3-4 years of playing.

Kids…
dont do drugs lootboxes.
Addiction is a bad thing.
And as far for enlisted goes,
Idk how really valuable they really are.
Like sure, a bit rich of me considering that i did got my two missing event squads through said lootboxes. But i also wasted 2 mil silver on it.
Call me lady luck i suppose.
But by definition, those are gatcha.
And the % are horrible.
Not to mention that they said they were going to improve them, but so far they didnt.
But, as @CaptainSebekel pointed out, its because of the fomo. Hence, + $$$

Well, this wasn’t a suggestion to increase the chances of getting a weapon, and as you saw, someone calculated the chances of getting it.
I don’t plan on doing anything with the in-game silver, it’s not a real asset. So I think there’s nothing wrong with gambling with them.
Old players have more silver coins but less fun. Why not?
World be probably better spent to ironing out squads, get more weapons for all’ brs, try new vehicles, more cheaper and you know what you get 
But you do you.
I dont wanna see any begging for changes though
Welp who knows tbh some ppl on less than a month we’re able to get 2-3 stingers when lootboxes we’re released also both we know there is some cracked nerds able to spend hundreds of $ into the Game so… 15 millón silver is not a precise stadistic is mostly like an average but that may change according to ur luck… So keep that on mind
somehow i doubt it. if they got even 2 stingers with less than a million silvers, then they should have gone and played lottery.
it is probability. does it mean you need to spend 15 million for stinger? no. but it is indicator that you will most likely only get 1 stinger for every 15 million spent. some people will get more within that 15 million, some wont get even one if they spend 15 million. RNG are statistically relatively predictable, so it is improbable that outside of few very lucky individuals you will get more than 1-2 stingers from lootboxes for 99.99% of playerbase.
well i will only say good luck to them if they are willing to sink hundreds or thousands of $ for shitty silver conversion rate.
