Stop Buy Tiger Packs!!!!

it would be naive to believe that drops from packs are totally random.. pwe is srs corporation.. and they are not monitored like some national lottery..

this company is feeding their children, buying their houses/boats/cars/helicopters..

yeah, they control it..

Least it's not as bad as PW-MY. Their approach to the gold farming problem was to legitimise it, and put "Buy Gold Now!" links all over the place. Massive inflation, and destroyed economy.

Although I suppose it did end up stabilising the price of gold at about what it's now here. And I suppose being able to buy a pack which gives a note which gives money is pretty similar.

I think it would be fair to say that the outcome is determined by a pseudo random number generator to approximate a pre-defined distribution. So technically, not truly random, you are correct.

However, I would suspect that believing PWI cares enough about certain people to give them higher or lower outcomes, rather than just setting the overall chance, and letting probability do the rest, would be counted as paranoid.

It only takes an Idiot, to Gamble that much against a company that has 98% chance of wining versus your 2% .. hahaha .. This is like the amusement park sometimes. b:victory

i dont see why ppl see getting pure tokens as a bad thing.....its good if u know wat to do. i typically try opening 10-20 packs per week depending on my cash situation. most the time i get tokens....but instead of QQ'ing about them i instead go turn them into skill books. trust me theres alot of skills that can easily come out to make u a hella lot of cash. just today i bought 20 packs....got nothing(go figure) so i was sitting with 300 tokens....well decided i would try doin a demon cleric book so go buy 150 more tokens to get 50 mystical pages...go make a demon cleric book...open it....and out pops a demon rez :O bam right there i got back the 9mil i spent on packs and tokens+ another 6-10mil.......thus proves my point getting all tokens can is also a very VERY good thing

That is just another gamble that could cost you big, yes there is/are other things you can do with tokens that return cash, or even more cash then you originally spent.

The problem is that each pack you open has such a great chance of getting tokens, and if you don't make a good profit every time you run low on cash (which I am now) you have to start reselling the tokens, which I do, and therefore I quickly run out of cash to buy more tigers, or even gold from people. I just open about 30-40 (and that's not counting the countless others I have opened before that throughout the period of the damn packs) tiger packs in the past 4 hours or so, all of it ****ing tokens, and now I have less then 150k to my name. How in the hell am I going to more packs now. << =x

I know I am raging at the moment, but still. <<

The simple matter of fact is that it isn't always possible to make a better profit when you get tokens only, you can even get less money if you try to convert the tokens to something else. So you might just be better off just selling the tokens and trying your luck at the stupid piece of **** rip you off packs. << TT

In other words **** you tiger packs ... go to hell. <<

Ill be sulking in my corner now. << b:cryb:angry

you just made them 400$ richer... b:sad

if i had that much gold though i would first look at broker and see if they're selling the thing i wanted form a tiger pack prize.. if they have I'd really sell that 400 gold XD (or maybe half)

300,000(if its still somewhere at that price still) x 400 = 120,000,000...... woah o.o

More than 300k. It's something like 600k on HT at the moment.

Spending 400 bucks on packs? LOL you surely have nothing else to do...

I'd rather get a herc + nix and roll a veno for profit with those $400, it pays off on higher lvls. b:bye

Acording to a simulator somone posted on forums, if you are willing to charge some $3800 you could get around 5000 packs. If you open those you should make more money than if you sold the gold though AH. I say this because I have noticed that if you open just 100, you will most likely loose money, but with 5k packs you almost always win.

You take math classes you really need it.
97% mean, that you get 97 times tokens from 100 packs, BUT in 100 packs you should get 3 non tokens items(or token of best luck).
So from 400 packs he should get 12 non tokens items(or best luck tokens). Just theoretically.
I already notice, that they changing probability to get something useful.
From what I heard from another players(how many packs they opened) probability is NOT 97%, but a lot less.

It is 97/100 + 97/100 not 97/100 * 97/100

It doesn't increase the chance of getting something better by buying more then one.

The only thing that gives you a better chance is the fact that tiger packs are 25% cheaper then normal packs. You get get 1 free for every 3 you buy.

The whole thing is luck. ^_^;

o.o oh~ I know a good way to put this in question form.

How many times have you dropped something after dieing as a blue/white named char?
1/100 times you die you drop something. Personally I died a good share of times to know I haven't drop anything yet. >.>
