@ Geohey:


 * So yes, that 17% is valid but underneath that (which legiondary cards handed out, in this case AT or CRE) are not random.

Of course there is a probability for AT and CRE, they simply don't tell us.

A distribution of 16 % AT and 1 % CRE gives a result of 17 % Legendary as well as a distribution of, let's say, 5 % AT and 12 % CRE. The probabilty of CRE is somewhere between > 0 and < 17 %.

@ [User:Spudanky Spudanky]:

I agree that their not clearly telling us the probabilities of engines and suggesting (but not promising, if you read carefully) is exactly one of these sales tricks I don't like.

By the way, that's why I think the whole branch of SEO jobs is an utterly absurd phenomenon. A whole professional branch has evolved around a black box named Google and their only job is to guess what the mechanisms inside the black box do and sell their stochastic guesses (!) to others. That's exactly what we do here, too. With one exception: We aren't paid for it.
