you get a loot box every time you level.....
.. Considering how many of these lootboxes we essentially will end up with during play you have to be tremendously impatient to go for this route.
Well good for you. Some of us just can't stomach the fact that they are pumping money out of people they call whales and manipulate their customers into spending as much money as possible. Possibly even abusing such lovely things as gambling addiction. Let's face it, that's what these blind boxes are doing, essentially being lottery tickets.
I joked about spending 50 quid but I'm not a fool. Spent like a tenner on lootboxes in total since it really isn't that much.

Again you don't have to buy them. I just chose to. You can easily farm as many as you want by just playing. Also because other loot boxes in other games similar don't do this kind of shit? Also I only see you crying about it so far so lemme know when the "some" arrive rather than one

Not saying you don't have a choice that would be denying you the free will a human has. I'm saying your stance on the store is moronic as you can farm loot boxes in the game without having to spend anything and since there is an unlimited amount of levels you can keep farming. So again stop trying to put words in my mouth.
Can you hand in a non-winning ticket to get some credit back ?
No.
Can you get a free lottery ticket regularly for doing other stuff ?
No.
Not even close.
You just are another jumping on the transaction hate bandwagon for the sake of it.
Purely cosmetic/aesthetic choices in no way offering player power.
No exclusivity to the store-bought crates.
Those being the main criticisms people lay out for the other stores, in WoW and in Hearthstone.
So you have no argument.
-Boxes contain only cosmetics
-Boxes are ALSO rewarded regularly for playing the game (one box every time you level, no level cap)
-Duplicate box items are converted to gold you can use to buy said cosmetics directly
LITERALLY the only thing those boxes do is speed up the process.

Honestly I have no idea how Blizzard expects to make money on them.
I'm a whale and I won't be buying them. Probably...

If your reasoning is that you don't like the game or don't want to play it, that's fine, not like you have to. I think that if your reasoning is that you don't like the payment model, it's fair to criticise that reasoning. Because OW's payment model really couldn't have more minor "microtransactions".
You collect loot boxes as you level.
You can choose to buy loot boxes with real money.
Loot boxes contain purely cosmetic items.
What the hell are people complaining about here?!?
awww cute you've got like 5 people in a row telling you your view is moronic or idiotic, but you just keep going.
i'll make it easy for you and give you what you want.
you're correct, yes your view is perfect you nailed it everyone else is wrong, well done sir have a pat on the back, you may now open a beer and chill.
