I did. I handed over $120 to support the game. Given that virtual items cost nothing to produce, I expected that openning all those top end chests would get me a few bots (and probably at least one of the new gunslinger bots), and some nify weapons.
But no.
Every 1000 coin chest that did give me a 'gold/top level reward' only gave me only gold currency.
Every. Single. One.
And 2/3 of the top level chests did not give a gold/top level reward at *all* (10 out of 15).
No bots. NONE.
No gold/top level weapons. NONE.
Statistically, that is outrageous.
The 'presented as random' spin is not. At all.
I'll keep playing. I do love the game. But Pix blew it with me by pulling this bull「dookie」. So, no more money from me. Ever. They abused my trust for some fast bux...

I got a Gareth from a 10 coin chest, the system isn't rigged. It's all abt that RNG. Furthermore I'm F2P, no money spent at all.

I've won exactly one 'gold' item from the last 2 events, a Magnum on my Android account, after spending more than I normally would on any game. My expectations could not be any lower, thus I am refusing to give into buying pulls on a one-armed bandit, nor am I making an special efforts to gather more chances beyond my normal activities. My friend, IMO, your mistake was working hard for a sucker's bet. To be an optimist means being constantly disappointed, and in pessimism you can never be satisfied with what you have. I've found, at least in my life, it's better to be a realist with low expectations. I make do with what's available, and do my best to enjoy what few windfalls come my way. This maybe little comfort, but my hope is that you'll know that you aren't alone in frustration. I've always tried to hope for the best, but expect the worst. That way you're seldom disappointed, and you're usually prepared. However, I also find myself disappointed after things deviate from my concept of fairness. I guess I'm more of an optimist than I believed.

I'm okay with this. It's basically something that wasn't there before, so I'll take anything they're giving. But I do not agree with how everything new that they're adding costs Gold. I'd be interested in supporting the dev team if the in-game currency wasn't so damn expensive. A SINGLE robot in a MOBILE game should not be worth over 10 dollars, never mind 30-40. I wish they would use the WP system as well for some of the new bots.

That's equal to 2 Lance's and a Gala (with 1500 left over for a ork). Other than the "thrill" of gambling, I just don't see the draw to paying money for random spins, vs guaranteed purchases.

My mistake was thinking that Pix was to be trusted to treat me with respect. I.E. respecting my giving them a nice wad of my money. They did not. You mentioned gambling. Well, this is not internet poker. There is no *point* in making it rigged to ensure I don't cash out my chips and take money from them. However, there *is* a major benefit in making it a bit 'rigged' in the other direction: to ensure that my giving them money allows me to come away from it with a good feeling, so I am encouraged to keep giving them money come the next event. Use RNG, yes. Just ensure it can't continually screw a customer over. Do that by skewing the odds towards a 'super prize' of the allowable range in that chest type, every time I open another chest of that type, until one pops. Still random, but... encouraging. That small adjustment prevents the sort of bull?poo-poo? that happened to me, as I related above. Costs them nothing. Makes a world of difference to the perception of the players.

Statistically you had the same chance with each spin of the wheel. Your "chance" of hitting a bot or weapon didn't increase each time you spun the wheel. It's like saying "I flipped a coin 9 times and they were all heads so my 10th flip 'should' be tails". It's a false claim because each flip of the coin has a 50/50 chance of occuring (when looked at in isolation). The same statistical probability happened with each spin.
Your expectations that you should have been "guaranteed" several bots and weapons from you $120 spins is exactly what I was questioning.
Spinning the wheel in the event was absolutely gambling for those bots and weapons (as you noted was an RNG). From my perspective, spending the same amount money on Au was the "guaranteed" way of obtaining what you wanted. Hence I asked if you were aiming for anything specific...

Its free stuff..... And its not crap mister Man. I made out like a French lady of the night on a holiday weekend. 3 Jesses, orkans, Zeus's, a Dog, Gareth and Fujin. And I only spent like 20$... Well, I also cashed in my kids college savings. And resorted to prostituion to cover my loan I secured from a local bookie... But I GOT 3 Jesse's!!! (Which are lame really... Great if it wasn't made out of paper)

I think I read somewhere once that the actual probability of flipping a coin to heads is actually less than 50%. Something to do with the tails side having more weight due to the shape of the picture. I think the odds were actually something like 49.999999999 to 50.000000001 or something. lol Just saying. lol
I didnt spend any money on any events. Both Christmas and the Chinese New Year event, I went into them with one goal. One! To win one of the Cowboys. Failed miserably. Bummed me out a little and I wondered if it was rigged. Then as I continued to play, I realized I was quite often seeing those bots in battle. This proved to me that others were winning them. I am just not lucky. However, I do find some consolation in being able to say I am smart for not spending money. .... Or just too poor. I may never know which one.

You just didn't get lucky. I Got a butch and 500 gold from silver chest without spending a nickle. If you don't get something good, just don't spend money. This is the same as those who expected something other then crap in the other events. Expect the worst, hope for the best.

If it doesn't die beforehand, I'm positive another event will revive it. I'll be ready to pee and moan all over again, lol
