wow so tier 4 are actually the worst, is it just me or does this scream greed in that they want you to spend money on bits to get the tier 4's since people will assume they are the best but really arent and will have to keep buying them to get an orange, not thinking that someone will compile the data and figure it out?
Last 3 t4s I bought had 4 shotguns each and not one of them was purple + 10 them were green. I hate shotguns, but evidently the game only wants to give me those in these boxes AND loot drops.
Someone tell the Defiance loot gods to stop giving me #%#% shotguns. THANKS!
I give up on tier 3, I know people say they are better and have had luck with them. But I have probably had around 25-30 and only 1 purple and no orange. I've had 4 tier-4 and had 1 orange and 4 purple.

I only buy tier 4 and i guess im lucky. So far i have 3 orange weapons 2 rocket launchers and 1 shotgun. If anyone have a orange sniper or assault rifle they want to trade for something i have send a message.
Excellent idea and execution!
One thing to note: there should be decay of results. What I mean by that is that more recent results should carry more weight than those further in the past. This is because Trion will certainly tweak drop rates in patches, so results entered during a prior build are not applicable to current build.
Alternatively drop rates could be reported on a timescale, maybe grouping each week's submissions. This would tell even more about the development of rates.
Thank you for this thread. NEEDED.

It's not clear whether a larger "cost per try" value is better or worse. Could you please clarify?
These stats obviously aren't part of a big enough sample to determine just how accurate they are yet, but I think we can safely say that there was probably a mistake in implementing the drop rate for the boxes. Probably not a major one, but something still seems off.
I actually think a large increase to Tier 4's chances on purple, while consuming max keys (what is it, 72 or something?) would be a good move.
