    Sorry, this will not happen even if 10K of you ask for it to be done.

    Your only choice is to go to the 3rd party sites and check their estimates on the %ages.

    PWI has stated that those are not 100% accurate.

    I think legally they do have to show it if requested.. Although I could be wrong. :P




    And on a (more) serious note, I am also interested in seeing the %'s, so that I can realize how good of a decision it was for me to not get suckered into trying for the uber gear. Every decimal place over I see makes it that much more concrete to me.

    The reason I am asking for this is cause I spent 60 Gold for anniversary packs and got nothing, and some people spent more. I think people deserve to see the % cause all the gms did was just show all the good stuff in the packs. The real question is.......how much chance we have?b:surrender

    Thinking about that 60 Gold for anniverary packs makes me regret of spending it on a ninetails D:

    Actually you got it wrong. Legally, they CANT show the % chances for it, cuz here in da US thats considered gambling, and since this game is aimed at a younger crowd... well you get the idea

    Still in real life gambling such as lotteries you know the chances of winning cause out of 60 numbers, or whatever, the certain about of numbers must be right to win in lotteries. But what about here, they don;t show anything, they just say you have a chance of winning. saying 50% chance and 0.1 % chance is not the same.

    Ahh, yeah I was thinking about the gambling aspect as well, and was gonna use that as my rebuttal. xD


    But seriously, why allow something like this when it so clearly IS gambling? I know it's technically, and legally, considered as donation, but still.



    Nevermind. I'm just gonna stick to regular gambling, as at least then I have a chance to win something real. Not some digital piece of 'gear' that I will not be able to have, or legally own, myself. The game is going to die (at some point) and I think it's dumb to purchase something that you will not be able to have (or have any legal ownership over) for as long as you want. Everything in the game (when the game is done) will be gone.

    Right so what im saying is if they dont officially show the % chance to get these items in the packs, then its not considered gambling. They can just play dumb like "Hai guise! new pack buy it it has Oracles leet gear and other cool stuff!". In reality tho if this was brought to court im sure they would be in a load of shet b:laugh

    Thankfully, the coral packs will be out when I get my monies. XP I'll spend a bunch on em. They're not necessarily bad things when you consider everything that can be done with them.
    RIP Resolve. You guys still owe me TW pay. XD

    Varden- <3 you all!

    Huh? So if I open a blackjack parlour but don't tell you the payoffs, then it's legal, because it's not gambling? OK, if you beat the dealer, I'll give you some money. Maybe. Or maybe not. Play and find out. I can't tell you, because then it would be gambling.

    lolwut?

    In addition to the odds, it would be nice if they'd actually tell you what these things are. "Here's a list of the other stuff that you could possibly recieve when you open this box! ... Champion's Proof." <shrug>

    I know someone who bought 20 packs and got 4 best luck tokens x.x
    And someone else who got a lunar glade insignia (wep) within a few tries ...

    I really doubt that the drop percentages were dramatically changed.

    10 gold each, with 1/10,000 chance of level 105. That's an average of 100,000 gold. That's 1,500,000 Tokens of Luck, which in turn can be converted into 600,000 Oracle IIs. At 15,000 XP each, that's 9,000,000,000 XP. According to some experience table I found, you need a total of 4,263,108,185 XP to reach level 105. So this really wouldn't do anything that Anniversary Packs haven't, in theory at least.

    Play dumb? Lol. Then the company would be sued to **** for willful ignorance. I still think that since this is literally gambling, that if you went to them and requested to see the odds, they would have to legally show it to you.
