    I was referring to the perceived reduction in drop rates post-SOI/EMN, as well as the gradual correction of casting cost vs. effectiveness, and the bonkers cards from earlier sets.

    I sincerely believe they altered the drop rates to slow down player acquisition of mythics, though the spreadsheet gurus can correct this assumption if the data contradicts me.
    Because mythic drops are so rare and the number of players is so large, you can count on some significant group of people experiencing both being "on a roll" just before a release, and being in a mythic drought just after a release.  If you're one of those people, it's a completely natural human reaction to feel like something in the system has changed.

    But the truth of that can be tested with data collected from many people's experiences.  In this case, drop rates were looked at for both pre-2.10 and post-2.10 data (see https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/64739/2-10-drop-rate-stats).  No measurable change to true drop rates was detected.
    This is very true. Got only the two copies of Glorious End in my initial packs I opened when Amonkhet launched, then after opening today with the addition of new cards, I got 4 new, different mythics plus a masterpiece, so suddenly feel like I'm on a roll.

    Edited for clarity, looked like I said I got 4 more Glorious Ends :)

    Clearly a sign of tempered drop rates. I suggest you start a new forum thread to complain.

    I got my third AKH mythic, which was a dupe of my first.  At least it was Sandwurm Convergence, so I suppose I can't complain too much...

    that 8/8 uw buffer dude on my second super pack via the more chance of new cards stuff. the first one was a bust, with just a dupe rare. 

    then i opened a single prize pack, supposedly less chances and i got a bontu. 

    drop rates randomization. wow.

    I haven't had a mythic since opening AKH packs when the set first came out.  But today my free 3-card basic booster had two rares in it.

    I got 5 mythic from amonkhet so far, well that's counting the 3 (!!!) Oracle's vault ... Salty doesn't even begin to describe the feeling. Did I mention that I've got playset of each approach, dead wrangler, fetid pool and canyon Slough. On a happy note I only got 3 plague belcher and 3 bounty of the luxa so far, I guess I already know what's coming up next (to complete the picture: 38 rares, 16 individuals)

    P.S.: What do you need mythics for? The only cards you ever want/need from this set are Drake Haven and New Perspective,
    Luckily I got them both

    Add to that Curator of Mysteries. It's a mythic.

    True story: I used up all my luck pulling Sword of Body and Mind from a daily reward pack.

    Since then, Amonkhet was released and I've gotten a grand total of 1 Amonkhet Rare and 0 Mythics. (Regular, active Gold league F2P player.)

    I really like the Sword but I'm definitely wondering if it was worth using up all my luck ever on it.

    Won? Never. The last time I pulled a mythic was a few days ago from a reward booster. I've bought maybe 5-6 premium packs since AKH dropped and I've yet to get one from there. Hell I don't think I've gotten a mythic from a PP at all since they switched.

    Wow.  Developers must have been listening.  I just bought discounted packs and got...... sandwurm convergence.  Happy now.  For a while.  Will be weeks before next one I'm sure

    Got a Premium pack that gave NO Mythics or rares... tell me again how the drop rates have improved.

    I've had one rare in three pps.
    Sometimes, you're just at the wrong end of RNG. The (guaranteed) rares per gold drop rate (in pps) has improved by the way, not the overall drop rates.

    Third the card packs we have done some balance tweaking to help reduce the amount of duplicates and give the player a higher chance at obtaining rare cards.

    And as already been figured out, this had nothing to do with drop rates. 

    You know this. It's been discussed at length. What are you doing?

    Dammit, I tried not to interact with you personally @OhBoy, cos I knew it would upset @andrewvanmarle, but it seems we get our wires crossed if I don't spell everything out plainly.

    That is no mention of improved drop rates: He is probably refering to the guaranteed rares, now coming at 300 gold stuff per Premium Pack, no longer 600 per Big Box = twice as much guaranteed rares per gold

    Dude. This has been debated, argued and discussed to death. You can't have missed it. Whether you feel it's a deliberately ambiguous statement, or an accurate one, everyone's pretty much agreed that the statement didn't mean they were tweaking drop rates after all. 

    So I have to ask again...what are you trying to do here?

    Opened a premium pack today. First card in the pack: Vindicate. Masterpiece.
