Of all the frustrations this game has offered over the years....

Few have been more discouraging than seeing this repeatedly.
With past "rift" type events, they've at least given us the opportunity to get 1 or 2 keys to choose a path/reward we actually want. In the 5+ years I've been playing this game, I don't think anything has been as motivation-crushing as seeing this screen.

I’ve seen tons of people complain about this event, and I think most of the complaints come from misplaced expectations. Maybe it’s sad that someone got better rewards than you, but you literally have the statistics on how often that can happen, and it’s equally likely to happen to you. Getting candy is what you should expect, and anything else should be a cherry on top of the store rewards. Some people will only pull candy, but it’s likely that you’ll get something else on only a few days out of the whole month.
Many people have also complained that there isn’t a selector, stating that past rifts have given us this. In fact, you’re welcome to check my knowledge, but the first rifts didn’t include selectors and those were only introduced later after initial annoyance and typically for money.
I can think of many more things that have been far more frustrating, such as massive bugs in-game, things like the Gauntlet reappearing for some and not others, competitive events with massive botting and piloting, paywalled champs, debatably the OG Act 6 and beta- 7.1, etc.
I know it's RNG but I'm beyond frustrated at this point that I haven't gotten a different path. All other rift events, I've gotten much more varied path selections, but this event has sucked. I've bought everything valuable in the store and all the crystal shards. Now all that's left that means anything to me is the 6* shards and even then, it's just 650 of them.
The candy store is definitely not better than rift path rewards.

I'm still tracking everything gained through my two accounts in this event so I can compare rewards against other SQs without any bias....
Will be interesting to see what the total haul is for both at the end of the 35 days.
But we do have a choice to not play it so there's that lol

Again,
Complete a quest get 10,000 t1a. That's guaranteed.
Complete a quest and get 10% chance to get 20Billion 6* shards, that's not guaranteed.
But we do have a choice to not play it so there's that lol LOL let them come. Hard to not see the truth behind the countless number of forum posts on the matter. Every time you "rift" there's a 90% chance at candy ... it doesn't assume you've already gotten candy ... every single time you enter is a completely new 90% chance and it will go down as one of the worst events in the game.
Same way if you flip a coin it’s not a 50% chance to get heads 35 times in a row. You can think whatever you like, but it doesn’t change the reality that 2.5% of people will get candy every day, not 90%. The great thing about maths is it doesn’t change depending on what you believe.
I had the gold path once, otherwise all candy.
