Do you guys honestly think Royal/All Star chances are fair?

Because I don't really? Based on my small sample size of my own experiences.

I would actually expect Nexon to implement some sort of algorithm that increases your chances of getting a face/hair you've already gotten, or to very slightly increase the chances of getting a less popular face/hair. If the change was small enough, no one would really notice unless they proved it with thousands and thousands of coupons, and technically we can't submit complaints either since they have never claimed that the chances of getting each face/hair were equal. So we would stay (fairly) content with our royaling while they make just ever so slightly more profit.

I remember spending over 30k Nx during the first Royal face event when Evan was the only good face.

I got Pucker Up 4 times, Compassion's Countenance 4 times, and random faces only once. That's rigging.

I rather just having the system randomized like it is... pick a few hair/faces and try not to narrow your selection to any one particular set.

[quote=marilanna]12 hairstyles. Only 1 is desired. 20 coupons used.

(11/12)^20 = 17.5%
(11/12)^25 = 11.4% <~ 25 coupons
(11/12)^30 = 7.4% <~ 30 coupons

... that's really not that rigged. It's just about not being quite as picky.[/quote]

Ah I actually had a supposed 1/8 chance to get what I wanted when I was royaling. It took me 22 tries to get it, so there was only a 6.1% chance of that happening if the chance to get each face was equal. It's just a little bit sketchy if you look at it from a statistical viewpoint.
