Are lootboxes gambling? 
Only if you pay money for them and arenāt guaranteed the same contents everytime.
This is by definition what a loot box & EnP is 
You spend $$ for gems & then gems for in-game stuff which is not guaranteed to be the same every time

Hmmmmm. Could be gambling, then. Guess itās good to have a game budget and stick to it.
Edit: And if I buy a bunch of gems and squander them all on loot boxes loaded with 1* crafting items, then teacher needs to take the yardstick and slap me on the back of the hand.
Purice, I have been playing for over 2 years and still not a single Atlantis hero. The only event hero I have is mother north whom I collected at the start of January this year. Otherwise I am playing with all season 1 and HOTM. Does this bother me? no. Does it affect my game play? no. I find other ways to kill those heroes I cannot get. You can gather all the heroes but they will end up like my MN, waiting on mats to ascend. But then that is a different thread, isnāt it?

I dont get 10 pulls , Iāve done a 10 pull on the last 4 events and not one 5 star and then I do free Atlantis coins and do 1 pull I get a 5 star , I just did a 10 pull for the knight event didnt get nothing but feeders and then before the event ends I get 1 more challenge coin to make it 10 so I get 1 single pull and get guinevere 5 star , I was so happy I got her shes a must have tank Iāve always wanted but Iāve gotten hotm and 5 stars from single pulls not 1 from 1 from a 10 pull so whatās the point of 10 pulls ? Iām now not doing any 10 pulls
Ascend items cost 20-100$ a price depends the pack you get to receive them, itās a fixed price that you can pay if you donāt want to wait for rng/luck and Iām ok with that, but heroes ? Whatās the price for a hero 5-1000$ or more.
Also wasted all the keys I had for costumes today 11 total pulls and no 5* hero, also got 26 heroes out of TC20 and got only Horghall, that I already have (not planning to level him up).
Disappointment increases.
Total luckā¦people do ten pulls because there is a cost break. There is no more or no less luck than doing 10 single pulls. All my 5* heroes from summoning have come from 10 or 30 pulls except 1: I got Alasie on a single token during Atlantis last year.
It may not have anything to do with it, but Iāve wondered if a Coin pull from an earned coin in battle carries more weight in the summon than a quickie on a gem-purchased 10-pull. I hear what youāre saying. I donāt think the data supports that one way or the other, but maybe I can just tell myself, āYou earned this Epic summon token! You fought for it! Now, go out there and not get Bane!ā
In which I pull Prisca insteadā¦

This month all the 5* heros that I got were 4 hotm
That is 4 more 5* heroes than many of us got this month. I spent up my saved gems and challenge coins, and got Sir Lancelot, and thatās it.
I understand that you spend a lot, but thereās no guarantee that youāre going to get the hero you really want anytime soon, unless itās a S1 4* hero or lower, and youāve got TCās that can make them reliably. Eventually you should get all the s1 4* and below, but it will take time.
Simple answer: if youāre unhappy with playing the game, then thereās little point in forcing yourself to continue (despite what you may have spent already). You have to know when to let go for your own sake.
Waffle incoming. 
I personally spend very little in the game. I used Challenge coins for one Avalon pull and got my first Avalon 5* character. My previous Challenge coin rolls were underwhelming to say the least.
I second nevarmaorās comment here. There is no memory mechanic.
I know a game which does use a purchase memory mechanic, so in E&Pās terms you get a non-duplicate 5* within 20 pulls. As you may surmise it means the more 5s you have, the more likely youāll get a 5 you donāt have. Good for long term players, negligible for new players (unless they spend goodness knows how much). Personally think it tends towards a pay to win model as a result, but each to their own.
