Thanks, contradictory opinions regarding effects of VIP. 

Still hoping for an answer to my question.

Perhaps the concept of Schrödinger's cat isnt well known, and so too obscure an idea to have used.

Hello WDYWTNTF, there is 3 different things you can get depending what task you do,

the first one is "Personal Task" this one is for "Bronze" and "Manuscript" if you open "Vip status" and you click on bonuses you can read this one auto complete if you have VIP 17

The second one is "Clan Task" this one is for "Loyalty Points" and Prowess Points" Loyalty is for you to buy in the clan store and Prowess for an elder or chief to fill the clan store. you can auto complete Clan task if you have VIP 28

The last one is "Premium Task" this one give you all types of gems except those you find on uber, you can auto complete Premium task if you have VIP 25.

Materials can be found in each one of this 3 type of tasks, a higher vip won't give you more materials but can increase your chance because you will have addiction Tasks.

You can't know what is in the Task befor you open it

Hope that answer your questions.

Thanks, but no it doesnt, as I have been playing long enough to know the first part of your answer already.

The second answer is the obvious answer, but the question is more subtle than that.

I had never heard of Scrodinger's cat and I read enough of it to know that I would ponder too much about so I stopped thinking altogether.

I suppose you're asking whether the rewards for opening/completing the tasks are predetermined or unknown before completing them. I do know that I'm not sure, but I would suppose that they are randomly generated after they are completed. /shrug

I also suppose that it doesn't matter, not that I haven't thought this though. Now, I need to go and watch the television to turn my brain off.

A games programmer could tell us what could be done, but only the programmers of this game could tell us what they actually did, and do,and they are probably the least likely to tell us. 

I suppose like MEE, a lot of players just play the game and dont necessarily think too deeply about it.

Perhaps relying on any help ( sound or unsound) they or may not have had from experienced players who might have just done exactly the same.

The question about tasks came from observations and speculation.

If you see the cat twice , it means the machines have reset  the matrix

CIM said:

There is something there before you open it ... well as much as anything can be "there" in a virtual world.  If you click on the arrow to the left of each task you can see what is in it before it is even completed.  Back before when I wasn't able to auto complete my tasks and I didn't have time to do them all I would check what was in them to decide what ones I wanted to do. 

When was it there?

When the task arrived?

When you clicked the arrow?

What if you did either a minute later?

What if you never clicked the arrow?

That being the case what conditions caused the contents to be what they are?

Some are tied and fixed to their function and level, the rest unknown.

i used to play a game/virtual world called secondlife and believe the the task refreshers might be set up the same way we used to set up things called gatcha's which people payed the price and got a random item which varied in rarity, i dont think the task refreshers are as random as some might think, i might be totally wrong but we have 6 different levels of task from simple to legendary, these i believe are given a % of possibility to appear.

lets say the total % is 100%, simple are the worst task so their % of showing up would be pretty high so well set that at say 60% usual next at 20% unusual at 10% rare at 5% epic at 3% and that leaves 2% chance of legendary, i dont believe your vip level effects the chance of getting better level tasks  they just give you better bonuses that are fixed.as i said i could be totally wrong lol but thats how i think tasks are generated once you activate a new set of task refreshers.

Wouldnt do that as I also think things are not as straightforward as they might seem to be.

The trouble with trying to figure things out is, ones viewpoint is not static,you are playing the game and you are changing,the game is going on around you, and we have no idea if and when they are rewriting the code.

As was said, partly because its talked about here,the machines figure of you know something, and are working an angle,, they change the code, you see the cat twice...
