Drop rates rigged in packs and deals?

So after seeing the post from the guy who got the Eye of the Typhoon from his free UR pack bundle, I felt the need to bring this up and see what the rest of the community felt. I essentally feel that all the x#Packs + SR/UR choices are 100% rigged. I have bought probably 10 of them during my months playing this game and 90% of the time, the card is always the "worst" or most commonly dispensed card in that rarity. I also feel like the game is rigged to give you duplicates (more than 3+) of cards you already have when pulling from a box after a reset. Abyss encounters was when i noticed this most and became completely convinced of it. I feel like Konami is really trying to bleed us for every penny they can releasing packs so often, filling them with 9 copies of so many N cards, and manipulating drop rates of desirable cards. I see a lot of people saying "Sorry, RNG" but i really think it is more rigged than that. Can i get anyone's thoughts or experiences on this?

ALL gacha games have rigged odds. Some Japanese companies had to admit this in court. Konami wasn't one of them, but you are a fool if you think they aren't doing it

I'd say my luck has been 50 50. Pulled a masked anki for my guaranteed ur this box, def a good ur

I don't think they're rigged to give you the worst myself, but it definitely feels like they're heavily weighted to give you duplicates if you buy more than 1. I was trying to get an extra wall of disruption via the deals once and ended up getting Painful Decision 3 times in a row.

There have been times when I've been fucked by RNG and it feels completely rigged (to this day I have 4 copies of senju but only 1 half shut/2mirror wall) but there have been times when I've gotten the exact card that I needed aswell, so I don't really know man

People are greedy. Companies are run by high executives who really like money. That's just how the world works. I'm an engineering student so I guess I understand how easily it would be to make packs and deals rigged like that, but I'm not sure as to what extent it could be happening

I'd say its rigged in the sense that you're more likely to draw a card you've already pulled, however it is not necessarily a bad card.

Mine are almost always duplicates. Not necessarily of the worst card but almost always duplicates. Two from Abyss Encounters were Legendary Fisherman and two from Primal Burst were Gaia Plate. Both of those have been in the top 30 of every box so now I have 5 of each.

I don't necessarily think it's on purpose, unless it's a purposeful or willfully negligent flaw in the RNG. I'd say it's worse that so many URs (often seems like half) in the main boxes are almost worthless.

I completely disagree, I've pulled the exact cards I have either wanted or would be considered strong. Like when the sylvan box was released, i pulled all 3 Gigaplants that I wanted. I have also pulled garbage, so I'm inclined to believe its just RNG. We, as human, have a natural tendency to see patterns where there are none and feel more wronged when we perceive that we've been screwed over, so its probably all in your head..

Perhaps, but I'd say that if i go through a box, and out of all the SRs I only pull 4+ axe of fools or archfiend cavalrys back to back, that RNG is pretty flawed

I did also pull 3 axe of fools so you got me there....

I bought the 3 packs + SR for blades of spirit 1.99 and got powerful rebirth. So it isn't rigged just super rng

I honestly can't believe that people are stupid enough to believe in these types of conspiracy theories.

Well, you aren't very pleasant are you? And who said anything about a conspiracy? Even in the TCG certain cards were printed more often and therefore were pulled more often, than others. Its a pretty simple concept and isn't even a bad, if maybe underhanded marketing strategy. Regardless, I just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing the same. No need to be a presumptuous dickbag

It’s not rigged. It’s RNG. I’ve gotten 3 Sylvan Mush within the first 10 packs. 2 mask change as both Bonus SR’s, many times I’ve gotten cards I wanted as the bonus SR. It’s not rigged, you’re just unlucky
