Ultimate drop rate

It was supposed to be a bigger chance for ultimate stones.
On the first event with double stones 1/40 tong's. On the second event with double stones 1/50 tong's. At the current 1/60, the chances of getting the ultimate stonse's have increased in an interesting way.
From the beginning I made tonga over 400 times and I got only 12 stones. I need about 90, so +/- for 3 years I'll get them if the game still exists.

I meant that 4 months ago it was about 50% more likely than now.
But yes, rare stuff.
I came back to the game a week go. Since coming back I have ran a total of 34 ToNGS. I have still not got a single Ultimate stone to drop in there.... However I did open up 54 Lost artifact packs on Thursday and got 1 set of Ultimates out of those.
With the amount we need to max out our enchants the drop rate is horrible. I will be running 15+ Tong runs each day while this double event is going on. If by the end I still do not get some to drop then I will be done with the game compeltely. No point in wasting time in this game if the RNG of the only thing I need to get an ugprade with is .00000001%
I have been opening lockboxes since VIP came. No legendary mount, and hardly any purples.
Then a friend of mine got a legendary mount in his first month.
Games probably should consider a different model for distributing the very high-end items than pure random, so there is at least some correlation between effort and result at the individual level.
Rather than dropping legendary mounts they could for instance drop mount tickets. 100 mount tickets = 1 leg mount. Rather than 0.15% dropchance they would then be 15% dropchance. That would even out the statistical chances and let how many tries you do matter more.
As it is, with the pure 1-drop random system, I certainly can expect to get the same amount of drops as my friend. In 100 years.
Cryptic could squash them by releasing the drop rates, writing down the percentage in the Chest's UI or in the Collection Window, but they refuse to do so. I suppose they enjoy reading this stuff.
I got lucky and got 2 ultimate enchanting stones in my only tong run during the 2x refine event, but, as they say... it really doesn't prove anything, except that the chance is higher than 0%, although we didn't need to know that.
