Now we all know that game companies try their damnedest to make a dollar but FFS - $100 plus another 1000 keys and not a single thing.
My Superchest was a Gallahad...a freakin $20 bot!!!
What a scam...and the funny part is I knew it going into it. So, If I can save someone else the redazz...save your money for garage slots and store because the Black Market is a scam.
I will still buy Premium and whatnot...but never again will I spend a dime on the BM.

Fwiw, I bought 3x13k chests and got zilch. A dash bot was the only thing I could use, and I got 0. That's about 430 USD due to apple's 「slow」 currency-dependent pricing scheme.
Btw, aren't there laws enforcing disclosure of winning chances for lotteries? May differ based on where you live, of course..

A while ago in a different event I got a galahad from a 10(whatever currency) chest, but after that all events were garbage. |

You can file a claim to return that money, but if successful expect to be banned from the game. I would rather have the $100-$430 back than being able to play a mobile game.

Six of my silver chests (100 keys) got me a wopping 30 keys each... So in other words I wasted all my spare time playing this "event" to pay 600 keys for 180???
「whiskey tango foxtrot」?
If this was a game in a carnival there would be dead carnies floating in the closest river.
I'm sure the Devs have made enough money that they don't need to cheat people like this.

The odds of winning anything, especially when pitted against a programmable spinning wheel are pretty much zero. I can't win on a flip of a coin, let alone alone on an operation such as BM, so I'm not going to invest money in to a wheel that I consider to be highly suspect to begin with.
To demonstrate my luck, the biggest thing that I have one on this and the previous three or four events was Vityaz in the Birthday event. Some Au and Ag, oh, and a Gekko and an Aphid, but nothing else of note. These are Bronze and Silver spins, mind you, but aside from the Vityaz, Aphid, and Gekko, nada. You hear Cinderella stories of someone winning a Doc on a Bronze spin, but how often does that happen?
Before the flamers attack, I know that these are free spins that cost me nothing. And I shouldn't complain for winning anything that I didn't pay for. Sometimes it's depressing though, to hear of other people's fortune when you do your best to accrue keys, Influence Points, etc., so that you can spin the wheel, and it turns in to big disappointment.
I did a few spins early in this event, but received the customary goose egg. I've now built up a little over 300 keys, and will let the Pixies spin the wheel for me at the end of the event. Maybe they'll have better luck that I had.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a pity party to arrange. You're all invited of course.
P.S. When I was young, my parents always referred to a bowel movement as a BM. Now you know why I see the humor when people refer to getting nothing from a BM.

Unregulated deceptive scam that over inflated (hyper inflated) new bot and weapons prices
Another evidence of the scam is that the graphics on the roulette don’t actually depict what the odds/item positions really are. Eg, just missed that haechi, just missed that zeus…. All I am getting is silver, gold and keys. The graphics show a much more appealing item distribution than the reality of what it is when looking at the pay outs.

Dredd77 feel free to remove my post if it's not PG13, but I just find the story with all those BM pretty similar to the funny story I heard.
So there was a very young attractive fraud artist woman arrested. She basically was walking down the street, meeting strangers and inviting them to have a cup of coffee at her place. In case if a stranger agreed to come to her place she most probably would seduce him and they have the wildest sex with multiple simultaneous orgasms.
But little the innocent stranger knew that EVERY orgasm the woman had were just simulated ones...
The Pix reminds me of that woman, basically =) They promised some free bonus stuff, and they delivered. They still are NOT making game P2W, and they are NOT unbalancing the game with the abundance of the new bots... Yet still they are claimed as a fraud artist. I guess some people just can't tell "casino" from the "general store". On the other hand, I guess what Pix did is actually added some functionality that upsets a number of users. That might not be a good strategical move... But we'll never know, because Pix won't tell if their profits are better or worse

To further demonstrate my run of BM luck, I let the Pixies spin for the last 312 keys that I had accrued. This is the result. While not bad exactly nothing, it's not the Cinderella ending where one receives a Tempest, Doc, Kia Bot, Scourge, or some other fantasy prize that they had hoped for:  |

If you are using free keys to win prizes. Please don't complain
For all the other people that spent money and won nothing. You played right in thier gambling hand.
For the people that gambled and won what they wanted? You played right in thier gambling hand

Sorry I don't believe I am surprised by pedantic pilfering preformed by pix. When they have to give a 190% profit to get me to consider it a fair deal there is a huge difference between our view of economic fairness on this game. On this event I mistakenly bought the VIP premium thinking it would give me double keys and gold. Nope felt stupid it gives exp, which matters how to a level 30 and silver which I guess I will need when I do 10-12 upgrades. I felt cheated and mumbled that is it for ten bucks so I was not shocked when I bought keys to spin to get less and less keys till I got a mollot. And my super awesomne chest gave me a Gepard. Every time I see a deal in the store I go not worth it and move on. Any of you who buy keys say I just bought a mollot 2 for ten buck and feel the glow.

I guess its the only way not to get frustrated While I was somewhat sedentary This weekend, between the two dates I had, I was easily able to grind two golds. The fact that you can get a gold chest for free at all is generous by pixonic . Complaining you cannot get a super chest (and you can, if you tried really hard at it over the two weeks) is stupid. You are already able to get for free, what someone has to pay for. Somebody has to pay. |

Don't spend a dime on BM, premium is fine because you're gonna benefit in the long run by accumulating all that Ag! You'll need TONS of it especially for upgrades above lvl. 10. I've given up on buying keys, I'm just gonna grind slowly and see if I'm lucky at the end of each BM refresh.  |

Fwiw, I bought 3x13k chests and got zilch. A dash bot was the only thing I could use, and I got 0. That's about 430 USD due to apple's 「slow」 currency-dependent pricing scheme. Btw, aren't there laws enforcing disclosure of winning chances for lotteries? May differ based on where you live, of course.. So what did your 400 get you? I'm already pissed having spent about 100 and getting: - A useless Lance (the prime age of Lance is over) - Two useless Ancile (had them before) - A pretty nice new toy called Scourge, two would have been better though - Some thousand AU which I used for finally getting my 5th slot Last event I spent about 50$ and got tons of Gekko, Aphids, 2*Rogs, 1*Garry, some thousand AU and what not. So if this is the new strategy of Pix to piss off their paying customers, I'll use the only weapon I have: Don't spent one single cent in the gambling area of this game. |

While I do not agree with statement over Lancelot is valid,8 do agree the current strategy favors newb players, because veterans don't want all the junk. Black market definitely favors newcomers over veterans |

Allowing them for purchase like wild bots is a better idea. Many vets don't need their n-th ancile / fury / lance. Which is precisely why I havent spent more. That being said , until the point where I got all I needed, I considered it a great deal. But now I'd rather just give them 150 bucks and be done with it |

Black market definitely favors newcomers over veterans I remember the time when Lance was a walking fortress. Now it's getting roasted pretty fast with projectile or rockets. It's still a good bot, don't get me wrong but it's not that good anymore. I still like it and use it though. I started a second account on android, primary is on IOS, and at the last event I got super angry at pix: You got 2*Gekko for example without pretty much doing anything. Win a few matches, kill a few bots and they were yours while on my main account, I had to grind hard to get something from the event. You're right that Pix favours new players over their existing player base which is a shame. |

Believe me, even to get your hangar to 8 will require A LOT of silver. Most players underestimate it (so was I). Bottom line - you can NOT have enough gold if you play for at least 4-5 month. |

I have not spent one single penny on this game and it's going to be this way. I've made 10,000+ gold through daily task alone and you can too with the patience. This game is really good but the content holder is 「fluffernutter」ing it up. |

I have no problem supporting stuff I like with my money. If nobody paid, there would be no War Robots or it would be like other "free" games: One match and after the match, enjoy 30 seconds of video ads with sound. I guess we don't want that, so I spend some money on War Robots. My point is: If you, as a company, depend on paying customers like me, you usually don't ?female dog?-slap them in their face which Pix is doing right now, with the Black Market scam. Verdict: I like to give money, but I want something in return. |

I got a loooot of stuff that I have no use for. Mind you, I've been playing for a long time and have pretty much everything maxed - for newer players, the BM is good value for money (if you consider spending RL money on a game "value" - I personally don't mind, though I think pixonic have gone way overboard with cashcow milking on this event).
I think I got something such as: 2 lances, 2 furys, 3 rogs, 2 garys, 2 gallys, 2 jesse and a butch. The butch was the only non-dash bot I didn't have already - had multiples of everything else. Also 3 scourges (useless imo) and a boatload of gold (something like 20k).
Note that this was from 3x13.000 chests, not 4 as it would've been for less money if I were in the US.

STOP THE PRESS!!!! so what were saying is gambling is a scam? NSS!
I appreciate how annoying it is when your playing and some guy in a heavily armed new bot comes and melts your favourite bot that youve spent time and pride upgrading on a long slog.
but i dont no if that player has spent 1k opening boxes or spent hrs playing for keys and got lucky?
If you dont like to gamble and lose then..... dont.
I dont play the lottery, but if i did i wouldnt be moaning every week when i spend a few quid and win nothing, just because someone else spent a pound and won 40 mil.
i played the last event to get a super chest, spent about 30 quid won nothing of use.. but im not moaning. its the name of the game : )

you can save 1k keys in one season for a good free roll without spending anything. I guess its the only way not to get frustrated If you average 3.5 keys a game (which would be a good haul), you'll still need to play 280 games in 14 days. Even if those matches last just 5 minutes (best case, br), that's more than 2 hours per day, plus time between matches. Only a very small minority of players will play that much. |
