    Thanks ZootSax! Quite the sacrifice of iso there, all for a higher cause... icon_e_wink.gif

    I don't really keep track of my pulls other than how many golds I get when I open a batch of standards. Good to know that probability for 'bought' standards is the same as standard tokens as I sometimes buy those to dump iso. I used to just save up iso when I didn't use it but that got me sandboxed once I hit about 2 million. Ever since then I sometimes spend around 100k iso once in a while to keep that from happening again. Also never got a 4* (in recent times) from a standard so had a suspicion those were out, but good to see confirmation.

    Now if I can only get a little more lucky than I have been lately... icon_rolleyes.gif

    Well, I got a red Elektra from an event token this week, which... was nice. Guess it isn't all bad with token pulls.

    Edit: read over my old post by coincidence and saw a typo (...used to just [not] save up...; removed 'not' because it changed my meaning diametrically).

    Ya know, I was going to ask about the monkey-typing-shakespear we call the recruit token, and then I found this. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I dunno, I never really have issues with iso (but then I'm a very slow transition) so sometimes I'll buy up like 50 iso packs or so and go for the gold.
    I'm impatient and I'm trying to get the remaining pieces of my LazyThor, LazyDaken, and Doc Oct, and I always figure "Eventually, statistically, if I pour enough iso into this then I'll get every cover I want."

    icon_e_confused.gif turns out its not as solid logic as one would think.

    Though my stats in comparison to everyone elses' seems fine, honestly. Out of a stack of 50 or so I'll usually pull 2 golds somewhere in it. I must be lucky?
    I wish they would let us buy heroic tokens with iso but make them expensive (like 10k iso per heroic).
  • I feel like even with my luck dwindling (Yelena loves me) I'd still break the percentages.

    I got Starlord from a recruit/heroic token eons (Month and a half) ago. I've gotten Invisible Woman, Carnage, and Lady Thor from hero/event/recruit tokens.

    I guess now I'll try to hoard/document tokens more.

    Maybe I missed it in reading though this thread, but what are the current drop rates for standard tokens? In looking at averages, there should be a gold cover every 3.5 heroic draws--does this bear out in actual cashing in?
