Oh I'm not feeling bad... I had a feeling the percentage of R4s out of gold medals was around 0.1%, this kind of confirms it! : )

Now, I can already picture it... Next event, I'll be opening gold medals and then BAM! woohoo first R4 !.... Oh wait, Elite Bumblebee... -_-;;

(he would make terrific upgrade fodder, though :D)

The only thing I actually find a little disheartening is the very low proportion of R3s in gold medals... Like I said, it feels like it's only around 5% (vs 2% for silver medals, while you'd think "gold" would guarantee you at least a couple R3s when you open 20 medals).
