The fact that boxes drop like candy meanwhile keys are still not on the loot-table (which is still identical to 105 loot even down to recipes) is what makes this such a kick in the teeth.
This expansion has been the biggest cash-grab I've ever seen. I mean it works, I bought some keys which jumped me forward and cut me 2-4 hours of grinding time by spending £15. I won't be doing that again but hey, they made some money out of me by making such horrible content.

Totally demotivating. I've logged in twice this week only.

There will never be a design that has loot from lootboxes that is statistically better than what you can gain someplace or somehow in game. Finding that loot in game might be hard, but it will be possible. Our overall design philosophy is that loot boxes are not required to reach the best gearing. If players do find some piece of gear that is best in slot and can only be gained through loot boxes then 1.) it is a bug or 2.) it is an oversight and will be fixed or 3.) there was some release timing issue and the loot will be available someplace in game soon.
In this case the intent is that those rings can be purchased from the Ash vendor for an appropriately large amount of Ash.
