I'm glad someone is insane enough (or bored enough!) to go through with this lol.
This is why I avoid gamble boxes and they are a pestilence upon gaming. That's a lot of what is essentially junk that he got.

I dropped the video a like for their hard work too, I would encourage others to do the same, because it's a lot of work! I just like looking at the raw stats with no commentary!
The profit on that is marginal in comparison to the amount put in, and some of those tries were loss making, so it's not even guaranteed profit at 1,500 keys, that's bad.

His profit margin is working out at a little over 0.7%. It'd be much easier to just sell keys and stop at that point if you're after playing the market for EC.
800m is probably more than most players ever see in STO but as a return on over 100 billion EC, its rather poor and not worth the time or effort.
It's also quite appalling that the grand prize box doesn't even seem to have a half percent chance of dropping.

And this is why I'm especially harsh on the criticism on Cryptic recently....this is all they do anymore. The majority of the "development" of the game now is either gamble boxes or expensive legendary packs
In almost 2 years all we've gotten in regular c store ships is 2 all faction ship packs, and the Romulan/Dominion destroyers. But we got 3 Starfleet legendary packs, one Starfleet/KDF legendary pack, and one Romulan legendary pack (And we know more legendary packs including a D7 pack are on the way)
Not to mention the value secondary prizes in the lock box have taken a plunge, between not getting a new lobi ship in over 2 years and the cross faction consoles, traits, and gear being removed
It's blatantly predatory to get you to spend lots of money or lots of time grinding a massive amount of dilithium that in the end it probably isn't worth it to many.

Cyptic's Lock Box chances are definitely poop, but I think they've done an above average job when compared to other F2P games. STO is still going strong, is still putting out new content, and has done a decent job tying into new TV series content. I do think that the chances of drop should be posted somewhere though, I had no idea they were so low.

Lol, even gacha games that make all their money from packs have better rates than that.
Azur Lane, which I've been playing lately has a 7% drop rate for super rares.
Genshin Impact, which you've probably seen advertisements for on YouTube, has a .6% rate for 5 star items. Arknights has a 2% rate for 6 stars. FEH has around a 3% rate for 5 star characters...

Yeah thats just insane, hopefully at least from my end the UK will legislate against these kinds of monetisation practices.
