I really had no desire to waste money on the Gold box, however, seeing that I had some gold left over from renewing my premium account, I thought I would give it a try.
My winnings? Mixed… My very first spin I won a Panzer tank, and I also won an additional 1,500 in gold, which (as I am sure Gaijin would expect) I used on more gold boxes. I eventually ended up winning the Soviet Chic Crop duster plane, and other then that, all I got was a gay hat, a couple pairs of white pants, some squad clothing change orders and a weapons upgrade order.
So, was it worth it for what I got? I guess, in reality most of the gold was wasted, but since I didn’t actually have to buy most of the gold that was ok. I don’t play tanks and I have no need for a chic crop duster plane, unless there are going to be corn and bean fields in the game in the future I can spray. BTW, my total personal gold output was 600 gold.
i spent 14,000 and got 6 event squads and all the weapons i mainly wanted along with 4 event squads from 1.6 million worth of silver boxes.
overall i am actually pretty please with the gold boxes. they could use some fine tuning for value for money but if you have the spare money and enjoy the game enough they are worth WAY more then a silver box. to have a decent shot with a silver box the investment of time to get a million silver on a premium account with all premium squads AND heroes on it whilst being top 3 in the leaderboard minimum is insane. thats playing 2 to 3 games every day for 3 months in my experience.
I should give this hat to every one of my squad bots since they don’t know they are at war, they think they are on a Sunday afternoon picnic with the wife and kids.
