The February Crate is bad. Really bad.

On average, buying this key returns 20.33% of your money in vouchers. This is worse than the nerfed January crate, the New Years crate, or the nerfed Ice crate. Those all have a voucher return rate between 30 and 50%.

What about the other stuff? On average, you get about 1.1m in in-game item value per effective dollar spent, plus an estimated $0.32 in IRL value (Invaded ranks and cosmetics). This is horrible. If you were on the paying-IRL-money side of an IRL deal (disclaimer: solicitation of IRL deals is prohibited on InvadedLands), you would have to be insane to accept even 2m/USD in the current state of the economy.

Maybe the Valentine's crate will be better, but the verdict for this one is don't waste your money.

It is just a game,

but if you look at it from the perspective of crates becoming more and more scammy during periods where there's a boom of young skeppy fans playing the server (like with the smp)

It's kinda shitty.

Well, I think an ideal crate's rewards would be roughly in-line with what a reasonable person would do IRL deals for in the current state of the economy. If it's significantly less than that, it's a scam; if it's significantly more than that, it's pay-to-win. I don't think any recent crate has really struck that balance. I think their goal with this low-quality crate is to encourage the gambling addicts to piss away the vouchers won from the original (broken) January crate and the very good original Ice crate, as well as to accelerate the expiry of vouchers that aren't going to be spent on this. From what I've seen, it sadly accomplished this goal.
