Well, why WOULD they change the ratio? At some seemingly arbitrary point halfway through the event, no less.

I've had a couple streaks of drinks where I got over 60 drinks with no crystalwing. I've gotten 2 in a row. I've gotten 4 out of 10 drinks, and none out of 10 drinks.
Human brains are really heavily wired for pattern recognition, to the point of people (and I'm including myself in this) seeing patterns that aren't actually there. I just don't think two people having had a short run of bad luck is any indication that the ratios are changing. 200 drinks total isn't a reliable indicator.

I also have this thread 8-community-discussion/223552-tracking- ... l?start=50 that I've been getting people's numbers in. It looks like people are pretty much getting the same ratio.

Now, it's possible that I'm wrong, and that the staff for some reason decided that the number needed to be changed. But if they'd decided it was too easy or whatnot, I'd think they would have made that decision in the first couple of days the drinks were out, not 13 days after. Lowering it now seems odd.

Bad luck to me is getting less than average
Good luck is getting more than average
Really bad is like, 0 creatures per 100 drinks
Really good is 6 creatures per 100 drinks
This Signature looks so bad on mobile. Good lord it is HUGE. I'll need to work on that at some point. For now though I sleep

I've had a couple of times where I didn't get anything from a hundred drinks, but overall I've done pretty well. I've kept all my drink-got creatures in a separate tab. 83 creatures from 2000+ drinks still falls in the 4% range.
Please feel free to mine my keep if you wish <3

i've gotten about 7 for ~300 drinks (i never feel particularly lucky with drink critters-looking through the drink tracking thread, I'm just a bit unluckier than other people but I also don't care enough to drop a lot of gold/keep clicking) but I appreciate that the drinks are much cheaper than they usually are, so the drop rate is probably a little lower to compensate for that since the drinks are usually meant to be bit of a gold sink. I doubt it's changed throughout though (that just seems like extra work for the staff).

happy 15th magiversary!

<3 clicks appreciated-just to hatchling pls <3

I wish the CWs would actually appear IN the stream. I know they're not flooding anymore but I haven't even seen them.
And I kinda need more to finish off my families.
