Dupe system and other concerns
Hello Plarium,
I just drew six sacred shards and pulled only dupe Epics during your "double legendary" cash grab. I have gone 43 sacred pulls without any legendaries. Based on the mercy system I should ahve had a 62% chance of pulling a legendary.
I pulled two legendaries duringthe ancient event last weekend and they were both dupes (third Rotos, fusable, second Elagius, also fusable). Of my last 6 legendary pulls across all shard types only one ahs not been a duplicate. Based on the amount of available legendaries this is statistically improbable at best. Furthermore, I pulled a void legendary and now am the owner of a dupe void legendary. Considering I own 5 void legendaries, two from content (Arbiter, Visix) that means I have 4 voids legendaries from shard pulls and 2 of them are the same.
Here are my questions:
1. How have you not figured out a duplicate avoidance system? Easy as pie...
1. you pull a dupe legendary and you get to choose to keep it or pull again. The first legendary you pull that you don't have you keep...regardless if it is the one you wanted.
2 dupe amnesty. For 2 weeks once the new dupe system is in place you can turn in any duplicate legos on your acount for a special shard (diamond maybe?). They cost nothing to pull as you have already spent the silver to pull the original shard. They are guaranteed to pull a lego and the system works the same as above; pull a dupe you can keep it or roll again...hit one you don't have it's yours.
Now that the dupe system is covered I think you need to check your math across the board. Specifically, if I have a 54%-62% chance to pull a lego and only pull epics on six pulls as I did today during the double lego event it would seem that the fix is in. This statement can be extended for everything stated above; there is a possibility that I am an incredibly unlucky person being ground down by the reality of math. However, I would imagine the more likely answer is that the truth is different from what is advertised.
I, like many, have spent a great deal of money playing a very well made, excellent game. As I reach endgame status it is becoming more clear that my money would be better spent elsewhere rather than on a game which is at best broken, and at worst dishonest. I would love to remain a member of the vibrant community you have created but find less and less reason to do so. Please fix the system so I can justify staying (paying).
Sincerely,
G
