Reminds me of several months ago. Has anyone gotten their 10/10? I've now opened close to 300 boxes and no joy.

Don't gamble. It's for suckers

There's gambling and then there is inducing someone to spend with zero chance of getting the unit. Gree had this issue before. 300 boxes would mean its below .3% chance/ 30 basis points or broken. I'm going with the later. If so, Gree, get ready to start refunding.

In 15 months I've never once been able to get the final price in any lockbox event, even setting timers and opening every hour. Then there are a couple in my faction who get the final prize every time without gold. I'm quite certain each acct has an unseen, unchanging "luck skill" that factors in things related to the chance events.

You are 100% correct in that. It's not random at all.

I finish these fairly regularly. This event, I suck. Normally, though, opening a minimum 12 a day results in getting the 10/10 and the wrapper prize. However, some of my minis get squat. Consistently affects the same accounts.

I never use gold, only in game cash.

In CC my main account used to get 10 everytime using game cash, in MW i have only once got 10 and that was about 15 months ago

Don't ask me I'm only 5/10 & 0/8 on this case event. Only way I'd put gold into is if the final prize mod was health or energy regen. Anything less then that won't get my money.

But neither in CC OR MW have I ever gotten 10/10 using just cash opens (include KA In that too)

Thank you for the confirmation. It's nice to know I'm not imagining things.

People need to quit using gold on this event; Gree are robbing people blind.. it's borderline dishonesty.

Moreover, i wouldn't be surprised those acts who use gold consistently get that 'luck' factor drastically reduced as well... [just a speculation, not accusation!]

I rather enjoy these events. You must do as I do though and play for free. Do not use gold. Gold use on these will only get you in trouble. No gold, no investment, no compelling factor to spend more chasing it.

Your odds of getting the 10th item is always less than 1% on any successful open. Using gold only guarantees a successful open. In no way shape or form does it significantly increase your odds of getting the final prize. Regardless of how many you open, each attempt is still a <1% chance at the getting the 10th item and final prize.

You have better odds hitting zero or double zero (which are extremely low, 2-3%) at the roulette table than you do getting 10th item. Stop betting and you won't be disappointed.

That's excellent advice to those that remain unaffected by the allure of the bright, shiny pixels.

Many have become afflicted with the disease I shall not mention.

They can't stop, nor can they restrain themselves.

That makes the pickings easier for the picker.

1pct we are prepared for. Zero we are not. That would be fraud if unrectified.

Up until 6 month ago I was winning either the 8/8 or 10/10 each time I racked up 6 or 7 of the events with only cash openings. Now I can't get past 8/10 or 5/8 I think they turned my luck button off. By the way someone got 10/10 in my faction this time with cash opening

My luck factor decreased as my gold use increased. Go figure.

That happens not by accident, llama.
That encourages the weaker lemmings to achieve the impossible, too.
That old street cheat, 3 card monte comes to mind.

Is there a wrapper for getting 10/10 and 8/8 in this current event?

This really needs an official word from gree mods. A too bad suckers or we will give your feedback to the devs or unethical practices are not apart of our business structures and we are endeavouring to improve this aspect of our great game.

Or something, come on mods. Have a go!

With all due respect, this is a well known ploy from over a year ago.

What is surprising is that nothing has been done about it for such a long time.

"The idea that what I was getting wasn’t guaranteed seemed to be counter intuitive to traditional game design, but this aspect of free-to-play design really works for players like me (whales). I was essentially “gambling” on what my reward was each time; and trust me, the one time I did get a legendary item I was so happy that I literally jumped up and high fived the guy next to me."

True issues should be directed toward this entity (http://www.cgcc.ca.gov/?pageID=home). While there is likely a strong lobby for the mobile gaming industry, common sense and justice point towards the logical conclusion as expressed within the forums. Hopefully, we are all adults here and can make up our own minds; minors playing this game may not be so informed.

Finally got mine, my guess is they changed the odds. Over 300 boxes for anyone thinking about it.

Don't be to concerned with winning prizes, the fun part is seeing how much gold you can spend. Any prizes won are just an added bonus.
