Did anyone else fall for the LoN promo?

I needed a faster mount for my druid, so bought one of those LoN "boxes" that were on sale for $70 with the guaranteed mount. 25 packs and I got..


I had never done it before and was curious how stingy or not they actually are. Probably the last time I will buy one of those. Pretty lousy, imo. I know the Siren Enticer illusion is rare, but that's what I was hoping for, too.

Spend about 400-500 dollars on that particular booster and you MIGHT get a siren...only illusion rarer is the dragon one.
As for the ratio of loot cards to packs, you got 3 in 25, or about 1 in 8. That is right on their target rate for LoN loot cards.

Don't waste money on those Bundle's if you just need a mount. You can pick up a Retro Loot Tournament Card for 6-8 event passes (6-8 dollars), and they have a Viridian Cragslither as one of the claimable rewards (also Scale of Rodcet Nife -- 5k/20 hour recast heal clicky).
I bought a couple of the bundles before I found out about the retro card. In one of them all I got was the mount and one (1) DA potion pack. The other had mount and one (1) XP pot pack and one (1) rallosian 1hs ornament. Complete waste of cash. I guess this is offset by my luck with the free monthly packs (I've gotten Kiss of Erollsi Marr x 2 from those).

$400-$500? Ouch. You'd have to be crazy to do that. I guess I'll just be happy with my siren merc.
That's disappointing that the loot is such a low chance. They should up the odds of getting stuff if you buy the "box" of cards, since you're spending more money than the average person buying single booster packs. Guaranteed mount is a start, but a far cry from being on the spot, at least imo.

Yeah, I used the Retro Loot card for my enchanter's mount. I didn't want two of the same mounts though. Silly, I know.

You have crazy good luck, my friend. I've never gotten anything of value on three accounts from the free booster packs.
