    Could we get a CM to comment on this scenario?
    Ubisoft is charging you money for the premium credits. You get a specific amount of credits in return for your cash.

    What you then decide to spend those pretend funds on is your choice. YOU are the one who has decided to gamble with it, not them

    Hello,

    As various community members have already pointed out, the keys that you buy with premium credits are no different than the ones you get from normal play. The purchasable keys are simply a way for a user to speed up the acquisition of the vanity items if they would want to do that. If you are currently mostly gaining dupes, you have likely gotten most of the available items in the cache and therefor the chances are fairly high for dupes when opening new caches.

    We will be releasing more vanity items in the future that will be obtainable through the same means.

    / Johan

    It's a scam. Haven't bought any myself just used the ones I got from commendations and finding fragments in the world from dead bosses and even without spending a cent on them I want to punch that vendor in his fat face when he says "Looks like you got a duplicate here's some fragements!" or whatever he says

    Saving the keys I'm making now for the future releases.

    Odds are against you, house always wins. Then again slot machines do payout from time to time to keep gamblers coming back.

    You are 3 months late to the party. You get what you get, no guarantee. There were multiple threads about this. Some even called it pedo gambling. No need for a cm to comment as everyone that has commented so far was in the discussion before.

    People crack me up that call it a scam. It has been posted exactly what you get for your money, a chance that is no different than the in game mechanics. No one forces you to buy them.
    I have gotten pretty much every vanity item without paying a dime, just playing the game. I have 40+ keys gathering dust until they make some more items. Just play the game and you'll get all you need.

    It is however not a scam, it is just there for the impatient people who don't want to gather key fragments or play as much. Calling it a scam makes it sound nefarious and illegal which it is not.

    Illegal? Not yet but it should be. Nefarious? Most certainly. Not going to rehash the pedo-gambling discussion again just standing by calling it a scam designed to separate people from their money for no return.

    You will get dupes, you WILL loose money on dupes.

    Never - EVER - buy any kind of loot caches in any game with real money.
    Almost from the start I've been getting mostly dupes and usually 2 out of the 3 items are duplicates I've seen as duplicates at least 5 times :s
