As you guys know, Arcades have 3 tiers of prizes: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Usually, there are 2-3 Gold Items, 3-5 Silver Items, and 10+ Bronze Items per arcade.

Many other games out there (can't name them due to forum rules) also have similar mini-games. Some are called mystery boxes, some are called lucky wheels, etc. There is also usually a breakdown of prize rarity. Example: Ultra-rare - 1%, Super-rare - 10%, Rare - 20%, Uncommon - 30%, Common - 39%. This adds to the fun aspect of such mini-games, because we know how rare it is to get a particular prize, and for those who believe in statistics over luck, they can collect a necessary amount of tokens before using them.

Let's say I want to get the Super-rare items. I will then save up 10 Arcade tokens, because the chance of me getting any is 1 out of 10.

Right now in ED, we have no idea how rare a prize is, so we are just spinning it everyday without a clue. Perhaps the devs could consider adding a percentage next to every tier (like Gold - 10%, Silver - 25%, Bronze - 65%)? There's no harm adding such little details, and in fact it will make Arcade more appealing since we know our exact chances of getting a good prize. People might also be more likely to spend Varium to buy Arcade Tokens since they know how big or small the risk is.

Any disagreements are welcome, so I can improve on this suggestion. Thanks!

Supported. I think Bronze is 100%.

@Scar

It's 100% to win a prize, that being said, bronze is certainly the highest percentage. But if it was 100% then nobody would win anything from the other 2 fields.

I support this, back when we had the first arcade we knew what the % of the drops were and it just makes me feel better to know the odds.

I also think the arcade items should come with stats for your level... I mean, whats the point in winning at the arcade if you have to invest so much creds/varium just to make it your level? Its only about 6500 credits more to just go buy the item, and then that way it is guaranteed you'll get it instead of wasting varium or time getting a token for the arcade.

I've never gotten anything but bronze, it feels like a 100% chance to get bronze

I agree, when you win an item it should be fully upgraded, that way it actually feels like a prize, like you've actually won something.

Meh, I've got the 10,000 Credits once. But the percentages would help. Supported!
