I haven't gotten one in a while, and I play quite a bit. It's obvious that Sk adjusted the prize wheel drop rate, which I think is great because the value of most accessories was no where near close to the cost of opening box, but any idea how much rarer boxes have become?
Have lockboxes gotten A LOT rarer?

I've only had 2 lockboxes
I've only had 2 lockboxes during the Lockbox's entire existence. My first Lockbox came really late anyway, even before the updates -.-

none recently
When Lockboxes were first introduced, I got them pretty frequently --- maybe once a week? But now I haven't gotten one in a month, or maybe two.

I'm not very interested into Iron Lockboxes and so
I don't want to waste my crowns to trade it for energy or even BUY energy just to get the keys for the lockbox. But throughout my time playing SK I got at least 5 lockboxes, and my total play time is...2 days. You could buy them at the AH (Auction House) or you can have a chance to get it from the Prize Wheel after every depth you complete. I got 1 lockbox from the prize wheel and i got the rest of the 4 from players, and I did buy some cheap ones from the AH. So they aren't really rare, you just gotta look at the right places for em.

I think it's based by players
I think it's based by players and whether they open them or not... I had opened a few boxes in one week then the next thing I know I'm getting 10-15 boxes in that week from FSC runs. Sometimes it would be a lockbox after each depth.

@Ezduzitt
thats exactly what i was meaning in my post, if you open them your chance to get them increases, if you dont open them your chance decreases

I want to say that the
I want to say that the Lockbox rate from the Prize Wheel was significantly increased during the Explorer Pack sale, and that the rate of rare accessories appearing was also increased during the sale as well. Why do I say that?
For the lockbox drop rate, it's simple - I haven't gotten a single lockbox since at least last Wednesday (prior to that, I got at least a good two or three dozen from the Prize Wheel alone to the point to where I averaged at least several on any given day).
For the rate of rare accessories, it's just pure conjecture but I spent a good 50 bucks on keys when they were introduced, and didn't get so much as a single Ghostly Aura. From then on, I always sold or gave lockboxes away. Then I took a hiatus from the game, came back, and bought a bunch of Explorer Packs since they had keys, and gave it another swing. Within ten boxes, I pulled 3 wolver tails. Yes, three of them (two cool, one toasty).
Since the promotion, the amount of tails on the Auction House has become incredibly scarce again in comparison to just a week or two ago, when at any given time, I could go to the Auction House and see at least three or four at a time. Now I only see the same Regal Wolver Tail being auctioned over and over it seems like, and there's also a Military Wolver Tail on auction with no buy out. I just think it's uncanny that all of a sudden, lockboxes are harder to get from prize wheels for me, and on the off chance I do get one, I'm lucky to get a canteen again.

I've still got my Lockbox from about a Month ago.
I think there's sumthing Supa Special about it, so I'm keepin' it.
well having played a week or 2 with elevator pass i got 0 boxes.
when i played on mist rather casually before i had the elevator pass, i accumulated 5 boxes(and gave them away because of the key prices).
