I especially love when they sell permanent pets for what would get you a 90 day pet and water of life for years, and they still act as if they made the best deal ever.
As a person who has bought permanent pet equipments, I'll say that I'm not paying for their actual use, but for the peace of mind that comes with knowing I never have to purchase it again. When they sold permanent pet equips, I think it'd take three cycles to pay itself off (9 months), and when I asked myself the question "Will I still be playing in 9 months?" My honest answer was "probably not". However, with it, I know that whenever I come back, these things will be there for me to use, and I'll never have to worry about it, or think to myself "when should I buy pet equips, so that I can get the most out of it".
Its like buying life insurance, never having it activate, then stopping. You might never get that money back, but for the time you were paying for it, you had the peace of mind that your family members will be financially okay, even if you're gone. The question is if the cost is worth your peace of mind, and in my opinion, yes.
That being said, I probably will not open any of these boxes, as while all the items in there are worth more than their base cost, not all the items are useful, so while I might get more value here, I would probably spend less paying more for things I actually need.
