Indeed, sir; the art team is to be congratulated. To this day I find it strange that other games with mystery boxes don't see fit to follow GGG's example in terms of being honest with the odds; there is in my opinion no legitimate reason for said odds to be vague ('less than 1%', for example) or not mentioned at all. I also appreciate that everything in them eventually drops into the store.

That said, I do have a few quibbles:

*while I appreciate the combination option as a means of handling duplicates, I think the 'alt color' option that some older boxes (most notably Frontier) had should remain as another option;
*entirely too many armor sets do not have matching shields. This omission is particularly glaring in the case of supporter pack sets; and
*while the mystery boxes do not exist ingame (contrast many other games which use them), it occurs to me that they represent a missed opportunity. Why can we not, for instance, have them as alternative models for our hideout stash?
