Gamblers Here

I apologize for my English, but I think I can explain my problem.

I think there are quite a lot of people who like to gamble in-game like me.
But especially in the last 6 days, the drop rates in card gambling are extremely low and you get the same drops.
I lost 50 exalted in the last week, it is very difficult to create and equip a good character in this game, the items are too expensive and we are trying to reach it somehow.
I'm thinking, is developers goal to remove stacked decks from the game like prophecies and your goal is to get us used to it?
Please don't sad gamblers.

I bought 500 stacked decks and opened them right after I opened this topic, it's a complete bullshit and a disgrace.

I have no hope anymore, this game has no meaning for me.

There is ample information with large sample sizes that clearly indicates that if you want to profit from stacked decks, the solution is to sell them unopened.

GGG is not to blame for the market price to be higher than their expected market value. They neither dictate the price for stacked decks nor the price of their results.

The only ones to blame for your poor economic decisions are yourselves.

I see 15c

Thank you for your arrogant answer.
I don't care about the cost of the card or the things I lost, but it is unbelievable that it has such a low drop and it has been going on for 1 week.
RNG should be balanced in every game, there is no such balance right now, we just lose.

Just cause you put up 50exalts doesnt mean you just make profit. You gambled in a shitty way and lost shoulda tried flipping.

Why not just use the 50 EX to buy some gear?

What defines the value of the drops other than the market? It is entirely arbitrary and out of GGG's control. They only make it drop what it drops, they do not adjust this so that the things that are more valuable on the market gain a higher chance.

That would incidentally also raise the market value of stacked decks after a short while of posts about getting lucky from them and then you would still lose your gamble.

To put it differently: The reason you can think of your gamble as a loss in the first place is that the market has inflated the price of stacked decks beyond their expected value. Because sometimes people get lucky when they play the lottery, and a lot of people end up buying lottery tickets.

If stacked decks had a market price of 1 chance orb rather than 1 chaos orb instead, you would not expect more than what you are actually getting out of them.

However, their market price is not in the control of GGG, and thus they are not to blame for your streak of "bad luck". And even if they did allow buying stacked decks from a vendor, they would still not be responsible for the expected market value to match their price.

This is not a gambling simulator you know?
Also being addicted to gambling is a serious condition you should seek help for.

The droprate for "The doctor" from stacked decks is 1 in 5000 btw.
At least it was last year (on a samplesize of 125.000 -> 25 doctors in 150.000 stacked decks)

Since 1 doctor is not 5.000c (right now its about 2.000) you can clearly see that you will almost always lose currency gambling on stacked decks.

Like in real life...
