Why are celebration packs so expensive?

I remember when the marketplace was still up the celebration packs would sell for like 2000 credits each. This doesn't make sense as most of the expensive things in the packs got devalued down to like 2-3000 credits. Why would anyone spend 2000 credits for a 0.1% chance to get the thing they want over paying a bit more credits to get it without the gambling (if it's even an expensive item)?

How Does This Even Happen?

It's so annoying cause I'll lag for one second and a giant magnet will suck me to the ground and kill me and then I'll get punished for it and not be able to load into another match for 5 minutes.

I logged into my xbox account that I don't use and figured I'd spend all my silver lions on the gambling crate, I could only afford 10. I ended up getting this cool ass ww1 tank that I want on my main account.

Only took like 20 matches and multiple griefers I had to keep myself from trash talking.

So we all know that convoys are basically any merchant and transport ships right? In real life a ship like that would take months to make so how come you can make them in a week or two with just one shipyard assigned to it? At the moment you can really just ignore your convoys getting blown up cause you make them so fast, they should take longer to make so protecting them is actually worth it.

I know all of them can retake the lower 48, but in real life, which path would be the most likely to not do anything and just exist as an independent nation (but not rejoin the winning civil war faction)?

Basically an Illyria formable, this is the first of three Enver Hoxha formables. I piggybacked off of the Internationale to get what I needed since the central powers always lose, then I was trying to be cool or something and I fought the Internationale, they almost beat me cause I forgot to put the navy I stole from Germany on strike force. It's a nice path and again the focus descriptions are amazing 8/10 next I do Odrysia.

You get -20 standing (you need only -100 to be unable to play ranked) from just trash talking. Why don't they just mute you and not give negative reputation? And it's not even slurs that get you punished, you can call someone a poopy head or something and you'll get -20 points. Unbelievable.

Perhaps the most dull of the socialist paths in terms of expansion, this path ends with you getting puppet wargoals on all non-socialist nations in the Balkans. It is still a great path though. It lacks events but it makes up for it with the focus descriptions so no points taken there. You don't get any unique cores but you'll end up with like 15% recruitable population from the tree no matter which path you take so manpower shouldn't be a problem if you conserve it. I like how in the focus descriptions they're in the first person point of view as if you're reading the leaders journal or something. 7.5/10 would be higher if you got some unique cores but it is still very fun, next I do the Ardlyria path.

Another monarchy path for Albania, this time you get to core all of Brazil instead of Burma. Definitely more powerful than the Burma path, it still suffers from the same stability issues though. The gameplay is more or less the same but since you're more powerful I'll give it an 8/10. Next I start the socialist paths.

The first fun path I've played for Albania. Overall a short and simple path but pretty rewarding. There is like 15 events about partisans blowing stuff up and the government hunting them down, and you have very low stability. Make sure to kill the Social Democrat leader by not taking the "Arm of Gendarmerie" focus and having him get killed by an assassin. You can also kill King Wied (or Skanderbeg if you named him that) but I didn't test what happens if I let that go through. 7/10 path next I do one of the socialist trees whichever one seems the least interesting even though they all look fairly good.
