Buying the chronometer might’ve been a waste...

I bought the chronometer early and it’s been a few weeks, but I haven’t gotten a skill gem in rotation yet. There are only a few days left and I may have to use it to get shards instead of awakening Ægon. let me know if you think I’m screwed

The whole point of doing this with the chronometer was getting to pick your class gem. Why this was left up to RNG is very frustrating to me. If I did this entire month grind and didn't even get the chance to pick what I wanted, it feels like a complete waste of an event. Maybe we will get lucky our last few runs and they will appear, but right now i'm not holding my breath. Very frustrated.
Getting tired of getting sig stones and only 1 t2a!
For example, probably one of the most popular ones to point to is this one: System and method for rotating drop rates in a mystery box. Except if you read the patent, that patent describes an invention whereby game operators can adjust the drop odds of a specific lootbox in such a way so as to encourage players to either perform game tasks which would make the lootbox more valuable, or purchase more lootboxes to improve the value of them. In other words, the invention tries to increase both the engagement of the players in playing the game and encourages players to spend by creating opportunities for players to get better rewards if they do certain things.
Which doesn't work if the company denies they are doing it and hides that information from the players. If Kabam was using that patent, or any similar patent, we'd know about it because those kinds of patents describe inventions that cannot work if they are kept secret.
In fact, if you were secretly attempting to manipulate players you wouldn't file a patent for that process, because that would be absurd. Patents are by law publicly published. You would do that by trade secret process.
In the main chrono thread I preached about waiting. You had nothing to lose by waiting until you saw your gem.
My other account is waiting on a cosmic, and it still hasn't shown. It's just how it is. Thankfully got the 10k shards today going random.
Now today I run a rift and RNG has blessed me with another mutant gem. Of course, I don't really have an unawakened mutant champion that benefits from it in a major way, nor do I have any mutant or generics I could even put into another mutant champion, but I guess I could use it on Havok, Dom, Frost, or Iceman...IDK.
The RNG gives and it takes.
I do however wish Kabam had implemented the AG’s in an ordered, rolling basis, which would at least guarantee each player the AG they need. I’m searching for a mutant one myself, and I haven’t seen one once since the start of the event. I have however, pulled a mystic AG, 1000 6* shards and a featured 5*. Swings and roundabouts.
Now your stuck with an item with no guarantee of hitting the AG you want. Waste of 3k Intel.
So just keep going at it...
