Around 0,5% chance to get a yc121 skin per crate and if 10.000 Players buy one of these this means im totaly screwd….. thx ccp u messed me up quiet far as u introduced a n…

With some skins [currently in Jita for sale for 11B ISK](https://evetycoon.com/market/47377), far more than the $10 spent to obtain one of these loot boxes. In fact, that’s worth close to $100 in PLEX.

Even a skin like this one [EVE Tycoon](https://evetycoon.com/market/45019) sold cheapest for 2.7 billion ISK is already far exceeds the value of the amount of PLEX you can buy for $10, which is 200 PLEX worth about 1 billion ISK:

It’s as if you purchase $60 of clothes and they give you a random bag of goodies that sometimes contain another $500 of clothes. It’s gambling.
