Why are they worth 20pp? I looted 2 of them this morning in lavastorm from goblins and they were back to back and both in small chests - why are they worth so much if they are so easy to loot?

Congrats to you if you did indeed get two back to back as they are definitely not that easy to loot. As far as why people are overpricing them.. its just what happens. All of the idiots come out of the dark when new things are added into the game - to try and make a killing, but for these ones it really wont work as well as they would like considering you can buy them for a mere 2.99 <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> (boosters that is, anyone purchasing starters at the chances for loot cards are silly since they are premade predetermined decks)

I haven't seen any drops either and I have been grinding writs for the last two days. So overall I think LoN packs are pretty rare. Prices are also being pushed up because LoN is the only way to get the Armored Warg.

There are people now saving up for the overpriced masters and gear that will be available for the first several months on the broker. lol.
You're incredibly lucky if you got two in one morning. I've killed well over 1,000 mobs in a span of about 10 hours, if not more, with only seeing one starter deck, and no booster packs.As for them not being worth 20p, I personally bought one for 9p and another for 12p, and I'm relatively poor. Somebody with over a thousand plat to blow could certainly find them to be worth 20p a pop.
