lol yes but we had a much more active forum life back then during the crown event and people did contribute even if they didn't get many sparkly. read through that post. even with potential reporting bias it was 1.56% so we are looking at about 1% odds.Part of the problem is reporting bias.
It is more likely people who get the rare (who are excited and happy i hope) will post than those who, after spending either far too much time/money, come up empty and just don't want to think about it. Then there are silly people who may say they got one (and didn't) which I suspect is larger than those who did get one but say they did not.
Math kinda flies away and roosts in the belfry of pseudo psychology.

#11A Mage is like a Lamborghini, You don't get one as your first car or daily driver and there are cheaper cars that go faster and are more comfortable anyway.
