Locked Crates vs. Elite Golden Chests (question for developers)

[Rianaku]

^ Exactly. No matter how you explain it, basically I would presume that Crates have a lot better chance, we can't say exactly how much better because we don't know the drop % etc etc. But basically yes, it's going to be damn hard to get arcane/mythic out of an elite golden chest.

I understand that. What I want to know is which of the following is true:

1) Elite Golden Chests have a slightly less chance of dropping any arcane item than Locked Crates, but a better chance at dropping a specific arcane item.

or

2) Elite Golden Chests have a slightly less chance of dropping a specific arcane item than Locked Crates, and a much lower chance at dropping any arcane item.



Either #1 or #2 is the case. I'm trying to find out which one. It's simple math. Saying that the chance is "low" so it doesn't matter is a meaningless statement. I know the chance of dropping arcane is low. Don't make this into a debate if you don't know the answer. I'm asking the developers for their input. If they don't want to say, then I'd ask them to please post that they would rather not say and I'll accept that. But don't tell me that my question is not relevant to you. Post in a different thread then please.
