So I saw a blue post from someone a while back saying that loot from the lootboxes was determined upon drop. With the beta around, I decided to test this and transfer an unopened box to Bullroarer and open it on both the live server and Bullroarer. I was excited, because on BR, I received a crystal of remembrance and one of the cosmetic cloaks. Upon opening the same box on live servers, I received a revival tome and 5 golden tokens of riddermark.
I had originally attributed this to something changing the determined loot when the item went through the copy, but a post today has made me suspicious:
Would this then imply that loot is determined upon opening the boxes as opposed to when they drop? Official confirmation on this would definitely be appreciated. Did my BR test just indicate something that happened due to the character copy, or did it reveal a lootbox mechanic for when loot is determined?

On a more serious note, they've been removed and replaced with Silver Tokens in the lootboxes as well.
