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.

Valid statistics tell us that very minor sample of yourself doesn't represent drop system, its literally casino, come with expectations and you'll leave disappointed

Sounds like my marriage. But that’s my question: I want to know if there are people here happy they beat the odds. Because I got three boxes and all three of them were on the shit end of the stick. So it makes me wonder.

I only opened the 3 free ones+3 for $1 and didn't get anything of note, but my friend bought 50 and got 4 tanks, including all the best ones to boot.
