Dystopian, I don't track statistics in the game but hats off to those of you who have the knowledge and diligence to do so. However my own anecdotal evidence has convinced me that purchases do influence game behavior. In a recent event where I had gathered event room passes enough to play the event room to black and beyond, I had never once gotten more than 8 event passes from a room although I had read posts about people who got as many as 10. For the first time ever, I bought several fairly expensive chests. Beginning immediately and for a time afterward it wasn't unusual at all for me to get 9 or 10 event passes by playing a premium room. How often and under what circumstances things like that happen, I don't know but it was just too big and consistent a difference to convince me that the number of passes given was strictly random. I am glad you have had the benefit you state. And I may be wrong in thinking that you have just experienced some good luck this time or bad luck previously. This entire thread however is about what it takes to prove a difference in drop rate. And I dont think anyone is going to the expense and sheer number of repetitions to prove whether this was good luck or not.
