Drastic decrease in gold gifts.
At the beginning they were coming a lot. Now no matter how hard I grind, I can go days without one. I asked in fb and people have had similar experiences. So what's going on? Have they lowered the rate really much or do we all just have really bad rng? What is the drop rate usually? I mostly have them after 60-100 opened chests and that as a persentage is really low.

Yeah this was a great investment of DADA books when I got it a few weeks ago. Was hoping my recent huge stroke of bad luck was just another of the “rare exceptions” in the gameplay odds I suffer from on a revolving basis.
Hmmm. I actually logged in today to try to find out whether gold gifts really do exist. I did the lesson last week and have gone through a few hundred treasure chests without a single one. Looks like I missed the boat on gold gifts ... I should have checked in here before wasting my DADA books!
Man, I was wondering. I had just added some people to trade with when I suddenly stopped getting any. I've gone from 1-2 per day to one every three or four days. It feels like a waste of DADA books now.
I’d be quite happy with a gold gift every four days. Just saying.
just unlocked that lesson today and have 2 gold gifts from a chest. I imagine they can't have it rewarded too much cause people wouldn't spend money if they just traded gifts for free lol
I’ve also opened close to 200 trunks without a single gold gift. I’m just wondering if there’s any link between this and those of us on iOS versions that can’t purchase anything with gold ?
nah its most likely that WB saw how much gold ppl were 'making' from trading/exchanging the gift (and flaunting it publicly) and nerfed the chances.
Or as always everything's rng, feast or famine. Had no gold gift for 2 weeks straight then 8 in the same day, and 3 of them from a single image placement.
I've opened (I'm guestimating) 70 trunks this morning **** ruins 4/ placing HE Engines (plus the single trunks just by earning family points) and I got 5 gold gifts.
One I received after I hit the max limit (100?) for getting non-gold gifts i.e. runes & wit potion gifts. From one set of 12 trunks I got 2; This has happened to me before so I always make sure I'm holding a maximum of 27 gifts in my gift storage.
I give gold gifts away randomly to people in my friends list so tbh drop rate is not a big deal to me, they are just a 'nice to have' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So sadly when gold gift has been decreased. I must get learn Rare spellbook gift (RSB or DADA) before decreased chance.
This absolutely could just be a luck thing, I know I went through it with the trace charms where I opened over a 100 trunks with none and then got a whole bunch. My question is, is there anyone who is getting gold gifts but also has the iOS gold issue? On some iPhone versions, after the first adversary event we are no longer able to access the free gift pack offered with events and we cannot purchase anything such as vault extensions, dark marks, cauldron time, etc. Of the people all commenting that they have gotten at least one gift, do any of you have the iOS gold issue?
@Yohanes12 if you mean the sage advice node for 80 DADA, it's not dada or rsb, it's 2 red books and 1k wxp. called magnificent runestone gift.
@Dewin99 i don't know did I understand your comment the right way, as the way I understood it was that I should be happy to get what I get. When playing like some people play, an hour or Something a day, yeah, I think I would be happy, but when there is quiet at work (i work from home, I'm like one of those singles near you wanting to talk to you, so don't answer them😂) I play and usually when my girl is with her father I play kinda hc, like I go out for hours and grind chambers for hours, so when i open few hundred trunks and get 1 or 2 gifts the persentage of getting them is really low. Now that I wrote about it in here they have started coming again though. It is clear conspiracy, they give to those who complain!😂
@Odetshki I think I understand what you’re saying. Not so sure about the ‘conspiracy’ bit though.
@Drakonite’s post shows just how random it can be. Nothing for 2 weeks, then 8 in one day? Random.
3 from one placement? Random.
I’ve mentioned “The Monte Carlo Fallacy” before, imagine 31 reds in a row at roulette, and the next one’s red again. Mind blowing odds. But therein lies the beauty of statistical probability.
The problem lies in peoples expectations of probability providing regular rewards. A 1 in 20 (5%) return rate doesn’t mean you can expect 1 gold gift from 20 trunks. Just look at @Drakonite’s numbers as a prime example.
And with regards to the ‘complaining effect’? Probability doesn’t care. It’s just mathematics. Beautiful soulless mathematics!
well, complaining can have an effect if somehow devs are 'moved' to silently or not increase the odds from 5% to 10 or 20 or whatev. (and by moved i dont mean empathy, i mean greed if somehow they believe that can increase revenue from game or fear they may lose players altho theyve shown complete apathy to that).
If you say so.
I somehow doubt that the forum moderators (that sporadically read posts here) would prioritise demanding the game developers to implement changes to the gift drop rate, when they’ve got much bigger fish to fry.
I could be wrong though. They might actually be focusing on your posts and changing the game accordingly. Who knows?
It’s the RNG, I was on a dry spell since Jan 1 and I pulled zero gold gifts until this past Saturday. On Saturday I pulled 6 gold gifts, blew my mind. I don’t think they merged the drop rates, I just think the random system is very random indeed!
So the crylaugh emoticon wasn't enough to tell that I was joking? Have a lovely day taking seriously everything that everyone says 🙂
I got a gift every day or two when I first unlocked, but I've received one in the last couple weeks. Seems like a drop rate hit to me.
I got my first 2 in 40, nothing for 140, then 3 in 25! Go figure.
