A statement of subjective bias akin to standing in Siberia and declaring global warming a hoax because it's a bit nippy out.

I have to disagree, one person getting 7-7-7 and others getting 1-1-1 IS "working as intended".

It's just the intent is to shaft people that get unlucky, to (hopefully) get them to use some cores to make up for for their bad luck. If the developers were feeling particularly predatory, they'd slant the odds based on how much money you've previously spent.

One of the reasons I have a personal rule to never pay for anything related to "RNG" in games. I don't know they aren't manipulating the RNG to try to get me to spend more once they know they've got a spender.

If their goal was to incentivize spending, they'd get more people within one or two basket purchases of obtaining the goal, not make people say fuck it, I'm not spending 2,500 cores on ten RNG chances to only maybe catch up.

This is not working as ANYONE intended.

Ok so I forget that Sarcasm does not translate well on the internet. I know i'm an outlier in this and have been VERY lucky since the more research i've done the more it seems the actual drop rate is indeed closer to 5-10%.

I do wonder how I was able to get such a good drop rate tho, statistically if the actual drop rate is much less, then the chance of getting 7 three resets in a row is quite low.

Low, but not zero (hooray statistics). The larger the sample size, though, the more it will tend towards average-- so if there were lots of people with 7-7-7- and a few with 1-1-1 then it would indeed seem to indicate a higher (20%) chance, but when it's skewed the other way that tends to suggest that the 7-7-7 is the outlier.
