This Metal Box Event is nothing but Frustration – Crime City

Published January 29, 2013 | By Don Pedro

With just over a day left this latest event has been an exercise in frustration. It should be renamed to Better Luck Next Time because that’s the only thing I’ve seen for the past two days. After opening at least 12-15 boxes a day I’ve just made it to number 10. I don’t think there is any way in hell to get the next 10 before this event goes away. And what bugs me is that there are some good items to have in this one. Of course there is, but you need gold to get them! That explains the 20% off sale on gold. 🙂

It wouldn’t be so bad if I at least got something every now and then, but this 10 in a row of Better Luck Next Time is depressing.

The clock is ticking so we’ll see how this plays out. I’ve read about people spending 800-1000 gold to get all 20 metal boxes. Umm, that’s like $50 in real money. Hell no! Developers gotta eat, but damn, that is a bit outrageous for an iOS game. There are better things to spend $50 on that a virtual speedster…
