I just noticed that the advertising watch seems to have randomized rewards.

Could we have an Idea of the percentages behind that feature? @Oktagon_Support

    Hi @Bil,
    Rewards are completely random. For more information about this new feature please check this FAQ.

    It would be easy to track the drop rates on this as a community, the problem is human error / lack of consistency in reporting — you’re better off doing it on your own. 

    Currently I’ve watched 2 videos. I have either earned 500 runes twice or no rewards both times depending on whether you ask a normal player or an elitist. 
    Edit: I have watched 3 videos and earned 500 runes all three times (or no rewards depending on your perspective).

    + 500 runes
    + Origins booster
    + 5 crystals
    + 500 runes two times

    For the stats:
    nothing, 5 crystals, nothing, nothing, 5 crystals, 2 pinky, nothing, booster, booster
    I start to like it.
    (500 runes = nothing)

    I watched 3 of them as well, got 5 crystals, and 500 runes X 2, but I think I am done watching the ads. I was a bit offended at the ad for the sniper game.

    Mobile game ads are generally awful, in my experience (as in ads for mobile games; not ads in mobile games)

    I was offended at the ad for some sniper game where the screen says shoot at people, and the only person I could see on the screen was a cop (or maybe just a guy with a funny blue hat and a blue uniform) with his hands up, I scanned around for others but I did not see any actual targets. Maybe it was just a bad demo, or just bad UX for the demo, e.g. maybe I am missing something but if I am then it did a bad job of guiding me through it. I personally don't know, don't care, I just know I am never pressing the watch video button again. I just waited out the timer and closed the ad.

    We are truly sorry about the bad experience you had with the Rewarded Video Ad.
    I'll pass this along to my team, and we'll analyze and improve the content available to be watched!

    Thank you for this feedback, it's very important for us!

    Just another note on ad content - as well as the sniper game, I was also served an ad promoting hard-core gambling.

    I have now watched 4 videos and earned 4x nothing. 

    I did use some of my excess nothings to buy deckslots today, so maybe it’s still something for me. Also I have PW I will probably only ever level for journal quests.

    As a mom to a 14 year old, and considering this is a game that rates itself 12+ — I don’t think I would care as much about that as I would my child being exposed to violence. Kids generally can’t do much with those games unless their parents don’t put parental controls on purchase 😱

    Watched 3 ads so far...
    Runes x2

    Hope this helps for calculations!

    3x videos, 3x 5 crystals. Apparently I've been very lucky so far. I feel like maybe I should quit while I'm ahead!

    Small rewards for small effort, which is fine. Over time those extra handful of resources (crystals, gems, cards/orbs) will buy something a bit more value-adding. I am with so many others in not seeing runes as a reward.
    I do have one request though @Oktagon_Support:
     - Free boosters refresh every 6 hours
     - Ads refresh every 7 hours

    PLEASE get these into sync! This will benefit you and your advertisers, as us players will get into the routine of checking in to collect the free booster AND play the ad for an additional resource boost.

    This makes sense to me in my position well removed from the finances of the game.
    I'm at 3x crystals, 2x pinks, 2x nothing, 1x pack
