    As I said earlier - probably those people who have managed to get to 10 in all three events!

    Personally I think it needs to be tweaked as on average I have only missed 4-5 openings a day for the period of all three events - and that is because I have to sleep sometime!

    i voted for that option. I do believe it too. Free indestructible units and something extra to do for some extra fun. Funzio don't NEED to give events. but we have the opportunity for more indestructible units(: WHY NOT?!
    I haven't played since 2012... I heard there was inflation since, lol.

    It isn't about the units to me, it's about the bonus. Most people care about the units, well, because they don't have much of them, and there free. I can easily go buy a unit with similar stats, but I can't buy the bonus.

    well you have to realize what you're saying. its a BONUS, not a buyable thing. You chance to the very top in the allotted time. If you get 10, you get a BONUS. the chances of this are WAY higher then gambling in casinos. ESPECIALLY slot machines, which what the event precisely IS.

    And that is why I, and others think they need to take the "gambling" out. We can still have this event without gambling away gold. That can be done buy having goal items drop at set opens.

    I play MW as a form of entertainment. Not to waste my money. If I wanted to gamble away my money, I would play slot machines instead. The game would almost be identical if they would have set drops rather than random drops. The only difference is, gold buyers could actually achieve getting to ten after so much gold is spent.

    I disagree they have to have them or the game would become static and they would lose many of the fringe players. Most of the people in the forum have learned many intricacies to the game, the normal downloader wouldn't invest the time or the research. People use this as an escape and for fun but, don't want to become a MW nerd. I started playing in Oct (maybe Nov) and thought my strategy was fundamental but, this place has enlightened me to the deeper side of the game. I have stopped playing COD Black ops and MW3 and play this game exclusively. I do invest a huge amount of my time (free and company paid for) and would like to see things work out better.

    The three events I have been apart of were deflating in the end. All three events I sat on 9 for 2 plus days and haven't received the 10th in any of them. I play every hour and then some.(ha ha) As an insane (in training) MW Nerd I wake up through out the night to play also. Just want a fair result for the time I put in.

    Dreno, I have to say that in this case, you just don't get it. We are talking about spending hundreds or thousands of real dollars chasing a prize that may not even exist. You simply don't have enough experience actually playing the game to understand the incredible frustration. Yes, for my LLP, the units are cool, but for my HLP, the bonus is the real goal. No unit I can buy will upgrade my buildings faster. That is worth real money to me. Go out and attack a couple thousand players, raid a couple thousand buildings, and run a couple thousand missions before you decide how worthwhile our opinions are, please?

    The bonus isn't a guarantee, and shouldn't be. It's just an extra. It IS a gamble and should remain that way. It's your choice to use gold or not. I HAVE participated in events through CC a lot on my old account, i know how the event plays out.

    I truly am sorry you did not receive the 10 2 events ago war priest, that sucks on how much you spent. The events are given just as an extra fun thing to do and keeps thing alive(: As always, they give the option to spend gold b/c they are a business. But since it is an extra and the thrill is the gambling and not knowing, it is stupid of them to give you certain opens they ensure 1 of the 10. Gambling is gambling, its not something required to be participated in, just something extra added in case you want to.

    Don't say I don't know about this topic b/c i am a LLP, CC events work the EXACT SAME as MW events, I know my chances (which aren't pretty) and when I participated and got to 7, i was MORE than pleased. Those who spend gold ensure to open the box, but can NEVER ensure to open the RIGHT box.

    Sorry you disagree, but I can almost guarantee Funzio won't change that factor of the events, its not the way the events (gambling) works.

    Well that is your opinion, and I have mine... But like JP said, until you spend 200 dollars on just an event alone, don't try give us your speech. You would feel the same if you were in our shoes. Every single one of you...

    Most of us will never be in your shoes, because most people would never spend that kind of money on a game. Especially not on a normally free IOS game with prices as high as this one has.

    Not sure if you put more money forth this event, but to those people who continue to throw away their money at these events, event after event, then come crying about it. It's no ones fault but their own. The drop rate really hasn't changed that much or even at all between events. Open rates have been weird, but that has nothing to do with someone doing gold opens. This is the third event and everyone should be well aware of how they work and have a pretty good idea of the odds for getting parts.

    I understand how you guys would feel if you spent that much money. I understand why you'd want gold units and the event bonuses. But i don't understand why you'd actually throw out that much cash to do it.

    Of course we have your opinions, i gave mine then all of the sudden you guys attacked it saying I was wrong and, in a way, ignorant.

    No, I have spent gold on an event, and never will. Why? Because, unlike you guys, KNEW my chances and how the would decrease DRAMATICALLY neat the end (8 - 9 - 10) so i started guessing on a calculator to give an estimation.

    I had opened around 35 lockboxes to get to 7 diamonds. That took about 4.5 days of the event. I used medium every time (once accidentally clicked FREE b/c it froze and i pressed twice, lol)

    I never got one again and knew that would probably happen. I knew that gold OPENED boxes, but didnt increase any chance of getting another diamond.

    Guys, all I'm saying is that the bonus isn't something that you should set into your mind as achievable, set it in you mind as a lucky advantage IF you get lucky opens.

    YOU made the mistake in that amount of gold you spent when you should have just used that gold for something else. At least you know now not to spend all that gold in a gamble. This was the design of the events for a reason. The bonuses are an almost unfair advantage, heelll no they won't make it a guarantee no matter the gold spent. That's why it's a bonus(:

    Not trying to argue, just trying to open your minds to their way of thinking and how to rethink your next event strategy.

    EDIT: Thanks JMC, i feel alone trying to explain the events mechanics as a gamble
