Repeatedly pulling the same class from 5* Awakening Gems

Has anyone ever had a response from Kabam on this, or have they ever stated anything on the forums? It happens too frequently for too many players to be merely anecdotal.
Was happy with my first couple of Mutant gems as they’re such a good class (and still holding out hope for Omega Red someday) but just opened my 4th in a row and it really feels odd. So many others have had the same experience and we can’t all be imagining it. I’m no programmer but surely there is some way for Kabam to tweak the algorithm to stop players pulling the same gems every single time? 60-70 dollars is a lot of money guys- I’m aware we take that risk when we buy, but come on.

4 times in a row is (1/6)^4, which is only 1 in 1296, considering the thousands of open AGs that is not that odd.
If it is indeed random my second point still stands- if players are in a situation where they’re pulling 4, 5 or even more of the same class in a row, why can’t the algorithm be tweaked to discount that particular class from selection on subsequent pulls? How hard would that be? It would certainly help to prevent conspiracy theories developing.
Also it is odd you go from a post complaining about it not being random to not wanting it be random..... It would also bite into their bottom line, as duping champs is one of the most saught after reasons for buying crystals.
Those were from completing all variants
Such BS luck
You have this impression because the only people posting something about this on the forums are the people complaining about it. No one posts a thread about “Hey, I got a completely new AG from the crystal!”.
I bet the majority of players are not on this situation, but the forums only show the ones that are. This creates the illusion of being a fact, when it’s just multiple people having some bad RNG and stuff.
When I explored act 5 I got all science gems but it is what it is. Eventually will get what you need

These patents are not necessarily sinister to cheat players. Some of these as I understand them are to help players. Some are to help Kabam to keep players interested in opening mystery boxes.
We have 2 options here: straight RNG or some algorithms to help players and keep interest in the game. Which one do you think is more believable given the presence of these patents?
If you think it’s straight RNG, that’s fine. But people who believe there is some more complex algorithm Kabam employs are not crazy people.
As I said, my limited reading and understanding of these patents seem helpful to players and also keeps players interested in opening mystery boxes
It is not just that I think it is RNG, it is that Kabam has told us it is straight RNG and there is no evidence to support that it is anything other than straight RNG, there to suggest otherwise would be to suggest a conspiracy that kabam is lying to us..
As much as I would like to believe there is a specific algorithm that Kabam uses, I went to Random.org and tested it myself. I set up a RNG between 1 and 6, assigned each # a class and pulled in groups of 10 for a total of 100 AG openings. My results are below:
Skill - 15
Mystic - 12
Cosmic - 16
Mutant - 17
Tech -17
Science - 23
For me Science is the clear winner overall, always pulling one in every round. Side note - my last 2 pulls in real life have been Science. Mystic is least likely to be opened, there again IRL I don't remember ever opening a Mystic AG.
The most of the same class I pulled in one span of 10 openings was Mutant - 5 times.
I opened Tech the most on my 1st pull, a total of 3 times. I never opened a Cosmic on the 1st pull.
So based on my 100 opening data I am the most likely to get Science, but my 1st pull will likely be a Tech, but if I save up 10 AG, 1/2 could be Mutant.
PS - I am THAT bored at work! This is not meant to be scientific fact or representative of anything other than me performing a pretend AG opening at work so I don't fall asleep.
