Drop rates not shown

I’m interested as to why the drop rates for these crystals are not shown. They are purchased with units, like premiums and are purchasable in the store, like arena crystals. I can’t think of a reason why the drop rates aren’t shown?

Ummm, you can purchase units, which you can use to purchase those crystals. So drop rates should be shown.
I can't purchase arena crystals or alliance crystals with money or units, but I can get drop rates? Logic is flawed
Arena crystals?

I stand corrected. Drop rates should be shown.
I’ll add to my statement. Can’t think of a valid reason the drop rates aren’t shown.
Those gold crystals are ridiculous
I've updated and for the crystal shard crystals the rates don't show.
Yeah I’ve updated
Agreed. There is a "rarity" level associated with how much gold is awarded each time. The "100% chance of gold" is VERY insulting.
Well it's a glitch

"South Korea Fines Free-To-Play Game Publishers For Shady Loot Box Practices
The Fair Trade Commission has also required the companies review and reform their monetization practices..."
"Establishments have discussed if loot boxes and microtransactions should exist under gambling rules, protecting the younger demographic that largely make the practices profitable for developers and publishers. Their implementation in many mobile games and some console titles is seen as predatory and South Korea is taking action on a few of the biggest F2P game publishers in the industry. Gamasutra reports via The Korea Herald that Nexon Korea, Netmarble, and NextFloor all received fines."
"Nexon Korea, which was fined $882,700, is responsible for titles like Lawbreakers, MapleStory, and Korea's version of Counter-Strike. Netmarble was fined $14,100 and released games like Star Wars: Force Arena and Marvel: Future Fight. NextFloor is behind Destiny Child and was fined $4,700."
"Gamasutra's report claims the fines were specifically targeting how the companies promoted the random loot boxes and required that they all review and reform their monetization practices. The FTC claims Nexon's campaign specifically implied the crates all had an even chance of dropping, which wasn't accurate."
That actually makes sense. Without disclosing the drop rates, the feature can be seen as a gamble that one would have to take.
Secondly, Apple changed their policies and Kabam respected their agreement with Apple.
