You can only boost to 50 if you have a 50 on normal servers. So I believe Boom Boxes can only be earned by those with level 50's already, was this really intended Carbine? Its a bit unfair in my opinion.

Yeah I'm going to echo the crowd saying Boom Boxes are not an incentive. I've opened, what, 25 or so now? I've yet to recieve an interesting item at all. The minuscule odds of an item that isnt a House Recall or another bland dye turn the Boom Box into a daily disappointment. No thanks.

The items aren't bad, you just have awful RNG.

Just as a quick FYI... the only people that think getting an elder gem from boomboxes isn't 'bad' are probably those who aren't 50. Once you hit 50 you can get 140 gems/week - getting one gem from a box is even more worthless than getting a 50 silver housing item. The first thing you'd probably be looking to buy would be a raid key which is 150 elder gems itself, and that's one of the cheapest items. If you're not into raiding well the amp/tier unlocks are 320/400 gems per point, mounts are 300, etc. TLDR: Getting 1 elder gem when opening a boombox is a total pisstake. The only real worthwhile items are the mounts, the elite fabkits (free plat on the AH) and the costume (free gold on the AH). I acquired an epic 50 weapon from one box myself, and surprise surprise it's worse than a level 50 blue (much to my disappointment as I've yet to have anything decent from a boombox).
