Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that they've altered the drops to make money on AGs. There is a finite amount within the game, aside from the occasional Event and Offer. It's just not true. The pools are on the server, and there is only one. You have a separate occurrence of 1/6th chance at any Gem each time. It isn't an algorithm that entails "If x=y....". It's a one in six chance at any Class. It doesn't stop to analzye what is in your Inventory. It's the same chance no matter what you have or when you open it. If I had a dollar for every Post that claimed the RNG was rigged, I would own the company.
Each pull is an isolated occurrence. Technically, you could pull the same Gem 100 times because it's not altered by the previous pull. Each roll is a 17% chance at any Class, each time. That's just the facts, and it has nothing to do with people spending more, and everything to do with how the RNG operates.
People take these pulls way too seriously. There's no major conspiracy. They just didn't get what they wanted. Some cases, they didn't get it over and over. Such is RNG. It's not some ploy to get money out of people. It's called RNG, and it doesn't change just because you pulled the same thing last time, or didn't need that Class. That's the chance we all take. That's exactly why I chose to spend my Intel on something else. I wasn't willing to take the chance. Not because I thought someone was out to sabotage me.
Y'all are killing me with the notifications.
With online gambling sites, I do know that their process must be completely transparent, tested, and approved by a governing commission(at the state level as far as Im aware) and documentation of the results available to the public. Does MMOs such as MCoC adhere to something similar or regulated by a commission of some sort? I ask because I have no clue
1 in 6 chance per roll is true, but the probability of rolling the same thing multiple times in a row goes down astronomically with each roll.
Again... drop percentages =/= probability
They are two separate entities.
The probability of rolling the same number 4 times in a row is independent of individual drop percentages.
There is a chance to do it, but it's ridiculously low.
If you’re rolling dice by dice, the moment you roll your first dice and it rolls a 6, the probability of the next 3 rolls being 3 6s collectively drops to 1/6^3, while the probability of a 6 of the next independent roll remains at 1/6.
And it's ok... I can't words most of the time either.
The problem with probability in terms of RNG is it doesn't account for things like coincidences, chance, luck, randomness, or any other "Act of God". Not sure if that's the best term, but I'll go with it. It's a Mathematical Equation to predict the probability of something occurring, but it doesn't account for spontaneity.
If you roll a 6... wait a month... roll another 6... wait a year... roll another 6... wait ten years and roll another 6... it all still has the same probability.
For AGs, it's the same thing. It doesn't matter if you opened four at the same time or four over the course of a year. They are all still the same crystal with the same drop rates.
Opening an AG is the same as rolling a 6 sided die. 1/6 chance for any class.
Now... No matter how you word it or think about it, if you open an AG, yes you still have a 1/6 chance; however, the probability of pulling the same thing goes down with each AG you open.
Just like the probability of rolling a 6 multiple times in a row goes down if you roll a die.
