Alright this debate is going nowhere because NOBODY (but Mobage) has the data to accurately report on the odds. Not Rona, Prax, Schapp or me. Is it possible that the odds are 50/50 and the bad pulls are part of the minority, YES. Is it possible that the bad pulls are the NORM and the 50/50 pulls are in the minority, YES. Who wins? No One! The answer would be for Mobage to post the odds but they will not so unless they have to.

All Businesses try to exact a profit from its customers with various strategies whether spoken or unspoken. Most try to maintain the highest profit levels with giving the customer a little more than what they need to feel good. Some like Apple charge a premium for their products because they have a high quality reputation but why to you think they come out with something new every year? Because we really need a 5s over a 4s? No they want to sell a new product and drive revenue. These are two examples of their strategies

Mobage/Dena are on the other end. They make strategies to do, or not do things so they can maximize profits at the consequences of customer satisfaction until the satisfaction drops and they lose customers. Then they make customer friendly changes and say hey we heard you, we're making the game better. Do business make mistakes and fix them sure. But when they have game features across their portfolio yet not in TFL it is either a conscience decision, or ineptitude. The Confirm chain button (possibly an initial mistake)request has been ongoing for 3 events now so they have either made the decision not to fix it or are inept and cannot but since they have confirm buttons it in other games including TFL I'd say they made the decision to wait as long as they can before fixing it to extract more money. Why do this? Because TFL is a short term business. It will fold after a couple years and the next app will take over. Maybe Power Rangers for the next generation, who knows. So they are not concerned about the long term satisfaction rate like Apple (30+ years?)
