Hidden Probability Manipulation Targeting Paying Players
As a paying player who has invested in this game, I've meticulously tracked my draws over the past several months. Despite the advertised 1/500 (0.2%) chance for Crown rarity cards, I have now gone approximately 2,400 consecutive attempts without a single Crown card drop after A2.

A couple questions…
- 2400 packs? or 2400 cards? because thats a huge difference
- Is the implication of this post that the game actually punishes you for paying for paying for premium and gold? Because that would be a wild business model…
- If your having that bad of luck with premium/paid gold, and based on the title, theres some implication that FTP players are having better odds, why not just stop spending money? I assure you though, the luck is not better on the FTP side of things
I currently have 2 1crown cards. One is gold pikachu that i got within the first week or two of games launch, the other is gold dialga that i got probably two weeks after STS dropped. I have opened 539 packs, 5 cards per pack, works out to 2695 cards. “Statistically” speaking, i should have ~5 1crown cards. Despite what some people think, 1/500 does not mean you are going to get it within 500 draws. You’re not even guaranteed it within 1,000,000 draws.

I am F2P since launch, haven't missed a pack. Haven't pulled a single crown rare. They are just that rare.
