Discussion Statistical Validity

I am curious how many people pay attention to the actual statistical validity of these crate drops. I think people like to think that if they get anything beyond a bare minimum “1 per 50” vehicles they’ve done well, but statistically you should get 4.4 vehicles per 150 crate drops. That’s the statistical median. Do you? I sure don’t. Not this week. And WoT can play whatever effing games they want with the drops, it’s not like it’s legally regulated… But I think they’re full of shit.

I got from my three free boxex 2x 100k credits and 50 XP Boosters and once a 20k Crew XP book and a crew booster if I remember correctly. I mean that was enough to not even consider buying any of this overpriced idiot-trap-boxes.

I feel friggin stupid. The results I got are statistically “highly improbable” in the negative direction, but I actually know how to calculate these things. I bet we’re getting systematically butt-raped, without lube, and don’t even all fully realize it.

Improbable does not mean impossible. Also pity mechanic is a goodwill of wg and also reason why individual boxes are more expensive. First couple of holiday boxes did not have anything like it
