    Hm,

    honestly I don't see how this is possible. I see how 1 person could be a statistical marginal case and get super bad luck, but in this thread there are several who claim the same and others who say they "heard" the same.
    Even if all this were true and all those people would be getting terrible loot the last 3 days, apparently many others were looting many, because prices now are lower than ever.

    So true lol btw I just pop-up about 200 ren crates after posting my reply about 30-45mins ago, and look what I got , 3 mythic pendants that cost 19999 in auc and 1 Super mythic ring(out dated eversince decades ago )which roughly cost about 80k more or less .. Way back 5 days ago every about 50-75 crates that I open I get an arcane item ... Well still I wonder what happened STS??

    Wait what, the lvl 30/31 mythic pendants and blood rubies are still in the loot table?!? I saw the pendants in the vendor and was 100% sure that this was a bug. I mean who would use that when there is an abundance of cheap and much better choices

    Wait doesn't 4,000 crates mean 4,000 crate tokens?
    After the first 750 or 1000, you could just go 'buy' an arcane from the token vendor.

    On a side note, can we replace the lower level mythic items with something more useful? The Lv 30ish items have kind of run their course right now, shouldn't really be in the loot table for the Ren'Gol crates...

    This statement confirms that you control and alter the drop rates in lockeds.

    This is not complete logic, the prices continue to go down for many reasons, the big two you overlooked though are hoarding from prior to the loot rate decrease as well as the buying and reselling from auction with gold.

    So does it follow that when there are too high a number looted you reduce the quanitity of Arcanes in the Ren'gol Crate loot table?

    If yes, I'm sure you understand the ethical implications therein.

    Can JustG touch on this subject?

    I realize gaming laws vary State to State and are complex; and I'm not sure if spending virtual currency on alleged "chance" prizes would technically be considered gambling or not...but I know that if it is, there has to be expessed and unchanging odds surrounding it, therefore making changes without notification to the customer a crime?...or at least ethically irresponsible.

    Please disregard if the quoted post was an arbitrary statement.

    I have thought about those two and some others as well, like market saturation or inability to use shard/fossil due to lack of gold to buy vials/bar/ and unfinished nekro quest. Those might all be relevant and without seeing game encompassing data they are all just conjecture. But hoarding? With steady price decrease over the last 2 weeks, why would anyone hoard? I really don't get it. I mean chances are u would make loss.

    Guys. Just imagine how much money u spend on this "game" and what could u get for it (in terms of gaming). You could buy a ps4 console with all the best exclusives + big TV and have so much fun with high quality games instead of spending money in this buggy casino where noone actually knows the chances and droptables. I regret every cent spent on this "game".

    Personally, i consider the hidden chances of dropping items for real money as scamming. Even casino and lottery have known and fixed chances.

    Forgive my sense of "humour", the subject matter is serious, therefore we are taking replies from STS seriously.

    Blow over 100 dollars on a game and get nothing....
    I remember whenever I see these type of threads I usually think "you know they say chance drop rate......"
    Then i think about the amount of games that I spent money on just to see it goes free the next week and notice that I am pretty upset...

    Think about blowing up all your money that you have right now on a broken ps3. you would be upset right.... this is similar to what the OP is feeling....
    He has a right to demand seriousness from sts responses rather than have them joke at him for spending money on their game.....

    "a crime?" come on, no one put a gun to his head and forced to you to buy and spend in this game, and GM was only sarcastic

    no, I think it's more to do with the underhand tactics of StS of moving the goal posts on a whim.
