Doing it on 50 characters (750 runs) gives you a 20.15% chance of getting it in a year, so no, it doesn't exist.


Wow you're so mathematically ignorant, lol.

I get 5 boxes a day.. no mount. :)


Same. Should have 45x a day next year and that's a little over 15% shot

Actually, that looks about right. If you want to start capping on ppl for comments, how about you learn punctuation first. Then, I suggest a math tutor for statistics 101.

Actually my punctuation was correct, and the math WAS incorrect.
Lmk if you need lessons in math kid.

Drop rates do not add up due to previous runs, saying so is just hilarious and preposterous.

I'm an electrical engineer irl and as a professional I will state that I am correct. ;)

I'll provide simply the answer to you for free:
=1-(1-0.0003)^750
=20.1511%

I charge to explain these basic concepts to ppl such as you. Before you make yourself look worse, I'll save you the time--I'm right.

Statistical drop rates do not compound, especially like that, The drop rate is, what i think 0.03%?
Regardless of how many times you do it, your chance is 0.03%.

Too bad you didn't pay attention in class.


I make people look stupid for free, ^_^ so no problem.

Let me put it simply, you do that math, get 100% drop rate, and you STILL have a chance to not get the mount, BECAUSE DROP RATES CANT COMPOUND.
I love how you're so cocky, but so stupid at the same time.

Alright, here is what I want you to do. After recess you have math with Mr. Powell. I want you to show him the following:

1) First the statement I commented back to you about (as you were rude to someone and incorrect in your statement).

2) Mount Drop = .03%
3) Number of attempts is 750x (50x daily attempts * 15 days)
4) Ask for the probability of the mount to drop this year as Vonizamogis stated.
5) Report back after the bus drops you off Tuesday and let us know the answer he gave.

Have a nice holiday weekend. fyi: you brought this upon yourself from rude comments. gl2u. I have nothing more to say on this topic.

The drop rate does not compound.
You do the the event 1,000,000,000,000 times, guess what, the drop rate is not 100%.
It's still 0.03% chance to drop.
I guess you don't know what the word compound means statistically.

You're stupid, I hope your children got their mothers genes, or I feel terribly sorry.

the probability of getting the mount to drop after a certain number of kills doesn't equal the drop chance (probability of dropping after only 1 kill) either
troll a bit harder maybe
