Some fun facts to munch on here on turkey day ( USA thanksgiving ):
I have 230 days logged , so 230 wheel spins
I have 285 gift cars , so 55 would be from getting gold in all the various events and birthday cars(2)
There are 70 cars in the game worth 1 million or more credits, I've been gifted 42 of those
I've been gifted three 20 mill cars , 2 from wheel , 1 birthday
I have purchased 180 cars, currently have 129 ,sold 51
My breakdown of gifted cars by group:
Gr 1 - 9 + 1 dupe
Gr 2 - 0
Gr 3 - 27 + 22 dupes
Gr 4 - 19 + 12 dupes
Gr B - 7 + 6 dupes
Gr X - 30 + 15 dupes
N 1000 - 1
N 900 - 1
N 800 - 3
N 700 - 5 + 1 dupe
N 600 - 10 + 5 dupes
N 500 - 21 + 9 dupes
N 400 - 14 + 11 dupes
N 300 - 16 + 15 dupes
N 200 - 17 + 8 dupes
N 100 - 7 + 3 dupes
The number on the left is all the single gifted cars (187 ) + 108 dupes = 295 , so I'm assuming i deleted 10 gifted cars along time ago.
Although the above isn't 100% accurate because of the few N cars that I've powered up which changes there category but it wouldn't be many, less than 10 I'd say, so It's quite close to correct.
The only thing that really sticks out to me there is that out of 285 gifted cars I've never been gifted a Gr 2 car.
Go into your garage , click sort , click by date acquired , although it does not show actual dates , it does show the exact order of all your cars acquired, kind of interesting to look at.
As for the whole rigged thing, to force people to grind, no.
I play another game that has bosses you can kill and the rare item that everyone wants has a 1 % drop rate , so you figure if you do it 100 times it's bound to drop for you, nope. That's how it goes, I know for a fact that people have done it 100- 500 times, no drop and i know people that have done it less than 10 times and it's dropped, is it fair , maybe not but that's how it goes.
Same thing here, to me it's a two stage process, Stage one, you have see the 20 mill car in your wheel, stage two, ,you have a 25% chance , that's it.
Consider how many people are doing the daily wheel spin every day, is it a million , that would be over 40,000 spins an hour on average, at 500,000 , it's over 20,000 spins per hour, even if it's only 250,000, that's still over 10,000 per hour and you have 1 shot to see a 20 mill car and then still you have a 1 in 4 chance.
And then consider people like me who own every car , my daily car is always a dupe, I'm still winning million+
credit cars and i'm still seeing plenty of the 20 mill cars, whatever happens, happens, that's it.
