Recent Crates experience

Just picked up 5 sets of new crates to test; 2 rares. I'll check to see if the drop rates were lowered.

Thanks Mark, I love that you responded to this thread!

I don't know that if I got 2 rares out of 15 that I would be so miffed. (1/21 was my result).

Just a rhetorical question: Wouldn't it be better if your gold spenders spent gold and felt GOOD about the outcome rather than the feeling that they got shafted? If ever the statement "Under promise and over deliver" should be followed, I would think it would be in these cases. Virtual rewards! How easy is that to over deliver?

+1 to that. Why won't to keep us happy? We spending enough real money on one virtual game so we can get a good entertainmen the reason to be upset and angry all the time. Is it so difficult to overdeliver a bit those virtual regards? Actually just deliver as expected. Well be happy.

I bought 7 sets of 3 of the new crates:
1 Rare = 4.76%
4 Uncommon = 19 %
16 Common = 76.2%

This is really a poor outcome! I really hate that the company is so tight to give drop rates that are always less than what is suggested. I mean COME ON...these are VIRTUAL items!

I got almost identical results as you did.

You guys are looking at the math wrong... it's a percentage PER crate... it's not like it's saying 1 in 6 crates will be a rare...

If you open a crate 100 times you should get about 5 rares - 25 uncommon - and 60 common... That's 100 crates ONE HUNDRED...

This is a game of probabilities.
If they really wanted to "reward" gold buyers they would flip the chances making it more likely to get rare items (although that would make them not rare, so may need to rename them as "worthwhile").
Would you spend more for gold if that were the case?

5 + 25 + 60 = 90. That's exactly my point. Funzio's math is all effed up

We al know it. Statistically over large enough sample it should be close to 15/25/60 even if it static per crate. How else can you check these %s???
It is not apparently as a lot of people have that issue.

You forgot the invisible 10% lol
It makes the game less predictable.
It's there.
You just have to trust them.

I bought a vault worth stats went up 1225 attack and 800 d... I also have 95,500 attack and 93,550 d so that should put it in perspective

My 875 gold gave me 102/270 increase given 61A/61D.. How would you like these chances?

[DenZ1]

I've anticipated them for a while. Bought a vault of gold and 5 hits later I'm completely disgusted and even did stop buying them as there is no point getting more of this common garbage.

It wouldn't be so bad if the commons were at least better than the RP items, but there's really not much difference.

[Dangerous Greg]

I'd throw my iPad out for a few results like Luke's! Let's leave it to "individual results will vary".

[GazLegend]

Probability of 3 common is 3/5 * 3/5 * 3/5 = 27/125 or for percentage fans 21.6%

Fairly resanable I think. Imagine throwing a dice, does is ever come up 1. Yes of course it does
