Lucky but fair[edit]
- I wouldn't be surprised if someone deleted my anonymously submitted data because they found it suspect; I just submitted a sample of 100 boxes and apparently got quite lucky, at least according to the stats so far. Just wanted to point out that I bought the boxes AFTER I saw this research page. Not exactly hard proof, but here's a screenshot, at least. The second Retro-Forged chest was actually from a single box I opened before this (the first one I opened this season), but I didn't include that in the results because that lucky drop is what prompted me to look up this page. And here's my second batch of 100. 75.172.2.18 12:35, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- and for the more scrutinizing, the gold discrepancy is because I had a market timeout (CoherentUI or whatever) and didn't realize it'd also taken my money until I went back later and saw the 78g in my inbox.
- I don't think there's any reason to worry about lucky data unless it's cherry picked or "omg I got lucky drops better post it". 3 hardlight drops in 100 chests is a nice haul but within a range I can totally believe would have happened "naturally". We have plenty of data collected here with "bad" drops too, so this doesn't mess anything up imo. For what it's worth, as well, getting 3 or more hardlight weapons from 100 containers assuming a 0.001 probability drop rate per container is a 0.02% chance (1 in 5000) which is, as mentioned, fairly low but still reasonable.
