@ SurfNSlide: ''God... guys, just DEAL WITH IT, it won’t change ever, they’re a company and want to make money. Accept or quit playing...''

...writes the person that adds a long answer just after this. :D

Short: We do. I just wanted to explain that the amount of engines you get form these boxes doesn't contradict what Gameloft has said in this case.


 * 1. Its not (nearly) „perfectly in line with stochastic predictions if you buy 8 boxes and get no Legendary card at all.“ it’s highly unlikely (below 1% probability), but of course possible. 

You are right. I should have written "doesn't contradict at all, although it's less probable".


 * 2. [...] so there is probably a hidden percentage for those.

That's what I said. Event boxes generally seem to have an additional rule to hand out more of the parts, especially engines, you need for the event. That's why I also participate in events I'm not too keen on—the probability of getting engines is much higher.


 * I’m just guessing here, but shouldn’t it be the same for the bought ones? Any experiences? 8 boxes aka 24 cards and 3 CREs and the legendary probability of 17ish % would perfectly match that at least.

I think this can be confirmed if you mean the boxes sold for real money. I did not buy anything for the X2, but for the Apollo IE. Those pro boxes contained exactly the pro boxes that were given out during the R&D.


 * 3. i also rarely have gotten one more/less of whatever card from R&D/CS/etc. boxes than was generally predicted.

Me too, but see the exception I mentioned above. I once got one engine less than predicted from an Apollo IE R&D box.


 * 4. it’s definitely the case, as many people have experienced it, that you get less of cards which you have 0 of in your inventory. Since someone here complaining about not getting V8s for example, I get them all the time (at least A LOT more^^) ever since I followed one simple rule: never get to 0 in inventory with hard to get cards (motors, techs, rare and legendary cards).

I cannot confirm this, don't know if this is a hidden rule. But I did notice that there seem to be certain "periods" for blueprints. I've been collecting legendary and rare bps for some cars since the beginning. Sometimes I get no bp at all for three weeks or more, then I get one every week. But this doesn't contradict the posibility that it is completely random.

Another "rule" I have noticed, but possibly misinterpretated: If you have only one more bp to collect for a car, it's very likely that exactly this bp is offered for sale in the next exclusive deals. But the algorithm (if there is one) doesn't "know" how many bps you have in pending boxes. I once tried it by opening the respective box so that all the bps minus 1 were in m inventory—next exclusive deals offered the missing blueprint. Didn't take it because it was for tokens, next exclusive deal: for credits. :-)
