    Should SE publish drop rates for Eureka items?

    I think it would be nice if we knew the chances of getting cassie's earring, blitzring, the lockbox items, minions/mounts from treasure chests, etc. Anyway, I'm curious to know what other people think.

    I suspect that the numbers are low enough, and the time and effort to publish those numbers, coupled with the general attitude in some countries that don't allow "gambling" in video games provides SE with enough incentive not to publish.

    On the other hand, gacha games seem quite successful, despite having their odds published.

    The effort required is minimal, it would be a simple recursive regex to pull all the ints that set the drop rate for individual Eureka items, and then convert those numbers to something readable, like 0.005% for cassie ring, or 0.068 for blitzring. I don't see how knowing the odds make it any more or less gambling. If anything those countries would want those odds exposed so people are aware of what they're really facing.

    Personally, I feel that no, they shouldn't. Keep the mystery!
