F has over 50,000 cities. I suggest that, no matter how many people you are in contact with, that you still don't have a representative sample. I live in F and have seen one within the last week. I wasn't in need of it, so wasn't paying enough attention to be able to give you the exact date/time, sorry.
even if we ask all players it still will nto be a good sample size
you do relazie how propabilties work?
even 1 bullion players can get no RECIPES and it will still be consider normal and expected
when you have lets say 5% of drop rate it does not mean you will get 5 at the first 100 times
it does not mean you will get 1 in the first thousand
or in the firs tmillion
the drop rate of 5% will become true only when you reach huge numbers what is a huge nubmer? thign a nubmer any number its still way too small
for nay smaller number the % can be anything form 0-100%
and thats why i say the random aspect is a bad mechanic for a game liek this one
but you need to have a math education and especially in probabilities to understand how they work.
its the same with flipping a coin while we expect at a given number of flips half of them will be head and the other tales it does not mean that will be what we will get.
yes when you repeat the number lots of time the ratios head/tales will go to 1 which means 50% head 50% tales drop rate
and thats the problem with independent probabilities
the rpevious does nto have any effect on the next ones
so even if we ask all players what value info you will get?
since no matter how the players answer all of those outcomes are predicted to happen
and also for the individual player the frustration and angry will increase. imagine you realize that the rest had above average luck and you are the one who got the short stick.
at keast if all answer they ahd the same bad lcuk like you you fell comfort that you have comapny in misery
and once more what about the players that had spent DIAMONDS and still get nothing
as the person who start the thread and spent 250 to get 5 spins for new recipes in a futile attempt to get it?
and you show no empathy to other gamer problems in the game, you go i was okey in event so lets make fun of other that did not.
