    Why do I keep “winning” the least valuable thing on the board? You guys are as bad as carnies. 8835AE16-D23E-440E-B243-8D682010EFAC.png

    It’s a kick in the nads. I get parts or power cells 3 of every 4 draws sometimes...

    But then I remember the Buddha’s Second Noble Truth: Sufferring is caused by desires.

    .
    It’s a rigged raffle. When they say they are going to reward you for your efforts (time and money), and show you big rewards but only give you small rewards, in many places it’s considered illegal. Not cool.

    Carnival games are rigged, and you pay money to play them. But still, you'd play them

    It’s better than power cells.

    Don’t worry. Be patient and the rewards will follow.

    Its random. What you're seeing is that on any given board, there are probably a lot of items that you either don't need, or they're just not high on your 'want' list.

    What I'm seeing on the Legendary boards: two spots have parts, one spot is power cells, one spot is a legendary piece, one spot is an epic piece, one spot is an epic item, one spot is tokens, one spot is pearls, and four spots are epic perks.

    So that one epic piece and one legendary piece on your board, you only have a 16% chance of landing those pieces. An 8% chance of getting the epic item. A 24% chance of getting either parts or power cells. A 32% chance of getting a perk. A 16% chance of getting the tokens or pearls.

    Probability wise, your more likely to land a perk. Between the item pieces and the epic item, statistically, you should only be landing them once every four rolls. Track your winnings. I think you'll find that over time, the items you get will roughly correspond to the statistical probabilities. I think what your experiencing is cognitive dissonance. In that, you're focused in on when you feel that you got screwed on the board, but you're not really taking the time to recognize how often you've come away with something good, since its expected. ;)

    Then I am randomly getting the worst of all possible outcomes every time. I’ve played over 10,000 games and yet to receive enough leg parts to get a single leg item. I’m not complaining about one event, but every event - looking at the board I can predict which item I’ll receive on each draw, as I know I’ll get the least valuable item shown.

    Why?

    I have epic t4 missiles, epic t4 grenades with a 5th one, epic t3 cannon, epic t3 explosive cannon, epic t3 mortar, and a bunch of other epic t2 items.
    I used all rare items and got to 3500 infamy
    Epics are better than legendary, at t4 they do more damage and have two more perk slots.
    I'm not concerned about legendary at all tbh. Theyre for show. I'd take 3 of a kind epics over a legendary any day.
