I'm amazed that everyone is so surprised by this. People need to wake up and smell the coffee. This way of doing the LTQ prevents people from pre-staging and it also generates more money as they can control the drop rate to ensure that the event brings in their targeted revenue. If you think it is unfair, then stop spending money on these types of events... it really is that simple!
I used about 1200 gold on lvl 10. Yes I'm on IOS. Gree this is not fair. Weather on android or iOS should not make a difference.
Most of my team are on iOS. So we had no chance of finishing the faction goal. So again not fair. I hope Gree does something for us. My faction has decided that if they don't do anything for us, we usually have half of the 56 member faction on gold, we agreed that we will not buy any gold in the future.
I hope gree reads this comments and understand that they need to address this.
It appears this problem was on IOS only? I am on Android and got 100% drops.
I did however struggle with severe server lag when banking or reloading energy.

exactly. if they stick with this format, the game will have changed for the worse. Gree now holds all the cards with these ltqs. they can turn up or down the drop rate depending on gold usage at any point.
I personally think it's a tactical mistake on their part and the only way to trick people into throwing gold at a totally random event is by increasing the reward unit payout. I guess we'll see in 2 or 3 weeks with the next event.
If gree change more events tied to unknown drop rates like the LTQ or more crates event, I will not spend anymore gold. I am playing a war game n not a casino or jackpot game. Gambling for chances isn't what I want n I believe many others too. It is extremely unhealthy especially when people of all ages are playing n there is negative education to some people since there isn't stringent requirements to state in anyway that people pay to gamble for units.
They need to be consistent on the drop rate across ios n android. That the main issue. Lucky we have few android guys which do their big share. But the big spenders in my faction on ios are complaining. One vault can get 30 drops on android comparing to 8 drops on iOS is the main complain.
Negative. Drop rate on droid was 100%...at least for the 25 accounts we had on droid that completed level 10. Now possibly all 25 accounts had the luck of the draw and all got the 100% of the 50%.....nah. They were 100%...talked to too many folks during this event reporting the exact same thing.
I've gotten quite far, thanks.
Your ignorance to acknowledge the reasoning for the complaints is laughable.
I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here but obviously you need to read complaints before assuming (we all know what that does) that folks are just complaining because they didn't get a unit.
I'm on Android and achieved a 100% drop rate throughout the entire event. Complaints are from iOS users that DID NOT have that same advantage. "Chance" of loot items is an innovative marketing strategy for Gree but the rate drop percentage should be the same for both. If you weren't aware, which I'm getting that impression, numerous folks wasted gold and got the shaft.
If you cannot understand that, you definitely shouldn't remark concerning the literacy of my response nor how far I will 'get in life'.
Hmm ok, how many of you that are posting comments are using an Android and an IOS device?
Ok good, now how many out there are using 13 various devices on both Android and IOS?
What just me? Nobody else this insane? Good.
Ok so here is what I have found so far. On ALL Android devices whether it be our craptacular LG POS phone to our tablets and even the only Bluestacks games still working the drop rate is 100% on each of the levels including the Saboteur Leader.
On IOS the drop rate is from less than 1 in 8 to a high of 1 in 3.
Since I am a free player Dutchie's comment doesn't really apply to me since I would not spend anything on the game in it's present form. There are most certainly inconsistencies between Android and IOS and there have been for a long time so those dismissing this issue are just plain wrong.

A.O. I have the utmost respect for you. All I can say is that on my Android phone and my Bluestacks account I did not have a 100d% drop rate on either. It did seem to have a higher drop rate than many iOS are describing on here, but I also had many of the drops not count towards the goal which I have had support acknowledge was due to an Android technical issue. So I am not saying that iOS was not given the shaft on the last event, as I do think that many were. From what it sounds like many Android users had it made during the event, but please note that there were at least some, including some faction mates on Android that did not have it made as many are making it out to be.
It is clear that the right hand doesn't talk much to the left hand and the head is firmly buried in the sand. So rather than quibbling over the minutiae between each other, the focus of frustration should be targeted at the incapable and greedy beast.
