The strategy I have seen used by a very large Free to play companies o is to stuff the boxes with at minimum the equivalent of the price on the box. They put the random item people want but emphasize the loot box has at minimum an amount of goods equal to what was spent. From SWTOR to WOT/WOWS this is so common as to be an obvious attempt to claim no gambling it taking place. Now of course since the price of the included items is totally up to the company selling them the only counter would be require buyers to trade the same within game to other players. SWTOR actually does allow many items to be bought and sold among players for in game currency however most games do not and that is where the abuse is rampant. So just like how the odds are not displayed in all regions it would take some regulation to either end the boxes altogether or force them into permitting players to trade items at will without perceived loss of value
