@Ad0ra_ 's comment:
In short, I'd like to get a direct yes/no answer to the following question:
" Does purchasing items through unit store, esp units themselves, increase the probability of future draws of other items?"
Reason why: Ad0ra says that you never lower odds but doesn't say the opposite

How do you think probability works? It’s out of 100%, or some rather say out of 1.0 where 0.5 for example is 50%.
You cannot raise the odds for something, without lowering them for an alternative. Like balancing a scale. If the odds for one thing goes up, the other goes down.
No, purchasing does not alter your odds. Kabam have said so many times that I could recite what they say from memory. The patent does not affect the game, companies buy patents for tons of stuff, doesn’t mean they use it
We have already touched on this many times in the past in quite a few threads on this subject, including the one you screenshotted. Remember, just because something is patented does not mean that it is in use, and that we (Kabam) have made many games in the past as well.
Because we have been over this quite a few times, we are not going to get into this again, and are going to close this thread now.
