I have received just one Quafe plasma gun from opening boxes either one at a time and nothing but junk from opening them in groups of 10. |

In a game of chance, there is no way you can increase your chances of anything just by concentrating the number of trials you have in one go. The only way you increase the chance of something specific is doing more trials. Even then, each trial still has the same chance of succeeding.
Your four unique quafe weapons and three faction skins were pure chance, and I believe the numbers speak for themselves. You had to open 2000 of them to get just those. Others have managed to get almost as much opening less than 100.
It's chance, nothing more. If it were true that opening 10 at a time increased your chances of getting something good, you would have gotten a lot more than you did from that 2000 boxes.

Ah, but some people say that it's NOT a game of chance. Some people claim that if you save keys and use them in batches of 10 at a time, you will increase your chance of getting something good.
My position in this is that if it's a game of chance you will NOT increase your chances of getting something good from any one box by opening them 10 at a time. You WILL increase your chance of getting something good out of all the boxes you open in that one session, over the chance of getting something good from one box. Eventually, if you open enough boxes, you will get something good, but how many boxes will that be?
Buying keys to open boxes is just gambling.

In a game of chance there are no guarantees.
The so-called guarantee was probably based on numbers like "for every 9 normal items there will be 1 quafe BPO". But if this is truly a game of chance which it's supposed to be, then that doesn't translate to a guarantee, only a probability of 0.1.
So you ignoring the official CCP announcement that opening a batch of 10 boxes works differently?

And despite all odds, we all have a better chance of getting awesome items/BPOs from these strong boxes than getting an update from CCP. |

SOURCE clarifications
Yes. It doesn't.
Rare doesn't translate to BPO. Yes, they have the ability to tamper with the drop rate if you open 10 at a time, but until they start "guaranteeing" a BPO every so often, something they can't do unless they do it once every 10 boxes, I'm not interested. I get any amount of "rare" gear I can't use. It's no better to me than the rest of the junk.
And for the record, if this so-called "guarantee" is real, that puts paid to the idea that this is a game of chance. That should tell you immediately that CCP is cooking the books. It's a rigged casino, nothing more. |

I opened ...2000:TWO THOUSAND... boxes. I have four unique quafe weapons, and three faction skins to show for it.
I've had zero luck getting anything one at a time. Opened at least 200 this way. Ten at once yields better results. Sorry if you can't believe it.
What part of rare are you guys missing?
Some people have luck, get a quafe in first 100 or so boxes. It's never what they wanted, mind you.
Edit: the first quafe RR was awesome. The second and third were WOOKIE RAGE.
So far I have recieved
-kaalakiota cal scout
-Quafe Ar
-Quafe RR
Quafe RR is fantastic!! |

I've yet to receive a single BPO on this alt. I'm starting to think it's just not going to happen. Whether I open ten at a time or just one, I never get anything much useful. Some people get second and third Quafe RR's? Ridiculous. |
