I thought about including sources from "outside" earlier. For example box opening videos on Youtube. But I think we shouldn't do that for two reasons:

First: It's our project. I can ask users directly if something isn't clear, and we have the dates the boxes where opened. On Youtube and forums, we can't be sure if the date of the upload is also the date the box was opened. The suddenly deleted rule that a Super Racer Kit Box contains at least one blueprint shows us that it's important to know the date.

Second: They're watching us. Remember Mina registering (well, trying to register, much to my amusement)? When I started the project, I thought: "Well, let's see if we can find something interesting". I didn't expect to find this much, and with more users contributing, we grew incredibly fast at discovering Gameloft's tricks in a very short time. A few weeks, and the Daily Kit Box and the Finish Line Box were naked. A few days, and KoninaElena destroyed the Deluxe Bundles.

This can have positive effects. Perhaps Gameloft starts to describe their boxes more accurately in the future (haha). Or take the McLaren X2 Mini Box: I'm sure we weren't the only ones to complain that it basically didn't contain any engines at all, but we were the only ones to prove mathematically that this box was expensive nonsense. The following Centenario Mini Box miraculously showed a fairer behaviour and granted an engine in almost every box. Ok, the rest of the R&D was devastating in return, and I'm not sure if it was our maths that caused them to change their mind—but it's possible.

But on the other hand, as soon as they see that we have revealed their little tricks, they can change the rules within minutes. We, however, need weeks to discover and verify the changes.

So I'd like to keep it nicely separated. I know that everything on this wiki is public and that many users of this wiki are also active on the Gameloft forum. We have no secrets. And they have less, the more we grow. I hope they'll realize that it will be a lot harder to sell us fat boxes for thousands of tokens when we already know that they're only full of useless crap.
