Firpo,

I appreciate that you try to address problems in the community and I understand that you probably don't have a lot of say in how the game works, especially on the business/revenue-generating side of things. However, I would like you to pass along a concern that I imagine pretty much the entire player base has: the unclear and often deceptive loot system.

I think everyone that has done a $100 pull in the past can agree that the odds in the loot are unclear at best and practically a scam at worst. Let me give an example. One of the loots this previous weekend (not sure which one) had what I think was a 2sb Apex Orton in the common section. This isn't the first time where a top tier character is advertised as common loot. However, I'm sure the real chance of pulling him is maybe .1% at most? Whatever it is, it is definitely less than common. Yet he's still in that section. Same thing goes with the featured section. We've all seen characters like NXT Seth, PH Roman, or other completely free characters in the featured section and more often than not, that 2% featured chance gives us one of those characters.

Another similar issue is the Equal Odds Loot. I remember a few months ago there was an Equal Odds Loot for the Bella Twins. I think it was set up so that you could get 5-100 shards or a 2sb, 3sb, or 4sb of the specific three wrestlers that were featured. Now, in my mind, Equal Odds means that every single option has an equal chance of coming up. However, the "equal" part meant that you only had an equal chance of getting a pull for one of the three wrestlers but the loot itself was heavily weighted towards the 5-10 shard range. Once again, very misleading.

What I think every single person can agree on is that we need EXACT odds for every single item listed in a loot. If I've got a 2% chance of pulling a featured wrestler but the specific wrestler I want has only a 1% chance of coming up in that featured pull, I need to know that. Likewise, if that "common" pull only comes up 1 out of every 1000 times, it's not "common." That makes the different rarity sections practically useless. Being any less clear is simply a dishonest business practice. I'll go ahead and ask straight out:

NAME ONE VALID REASON WHY YOU DON'T PUBLISH THE EXACT LOOT ODDS FOR EVERY SINGLE POSSIBILITY IN A LOOT?

I can only think of one: to get players to spend more than they would otherwise by fooling them into thinking that they've got a better chance of getting what they want than what they actually do. If you've got another reason then I would love to hear it.
