And unlike in STO, you can't sell the keys, for more "fun".

I got 5 service tokens. For the same price as a key i would get 30 service tokens.....

Gambling for money is, holding a raffle for a bakesale is not. I'm pretty sure we can all agree that this event is more like the latter given the type of rewards gained. :P

Had they framed this as 'double WB weekend' with nothing additional I think this would have been counted as an awesome event. Instead they've just given themselves several festering black eyes. When a company stoops to predatory monetization practices it's time to call them on it. At the very least they owe us a sincere apology.

They already clarified the keys were never intended to be on the loot table.

From my point of view this is a weak comparison. A raid requires a ton more dedication, organization, skill, patience, and time investment than a 2-5 minute brainless, fluffy WB kill. I can't endorse this as a valid way of presenting the situation. They're totally apples and oranges.

Well you left out a pretty critical part of what I wrote, Jeff:

My 'dim view of the world' is not so dim, I would describe it as reaslim but then that's a completely subjective concept as well. But yea, I don't believe companies actively respect people (at least, ~in the context of our discussion~, not as ~individuals~, which was your premise as I understood it). But that doesn't mean they intend to prey on them as objectified victims, either. In my experience the business world and incorporation necessitate a certain distance from the idea of 'respect'. It's usually more about following consumer protection guidelines and ensuring the stakeholders or owners are compensated for their investment. That doesn't mean there can't be dignity involved on both sides... but again, within the context of our discussion, I still don't see how you expect respect as an individual. I gotta jet for a bit but thanks for the back and forth. I'm sure I'll read any reply later.
