Is Three of Coins simply a placebo? (Bungie Official Tweet)

Without Bungie providing the percentage increase of chance for an exotic to drop, how do we know if ToC does anything at all? We can’t rely on Bungie’s veracity here either. Think, first they throttled experience gain without telling us but allowed us to buy fire team medallions that would have been pointless if you were being throttled. Then they “fixed” the issue of throttling xp gain but then DOUBLED the amount of xp needed to level up without telling a soul. Based on that track record, what’s keeping them from releasing ToC as a placebo for us to burn through the thousands of shards we have? How does one prove that random drops have increased when said drops are RANDOM?!? [b]UPDATE:[/b] So after reading many of your comments it seems as if ToC is in fact BUGGED and REDUCES your chance of gaining exotics when activated. My recommendation is to avoid using ToC at all costs if you value getting exotic drops. Bungie is now on Christmas break so it’s doubtful we will hear anything on this issue nor will it be resolved any time soon. Here is a link to Kackis speaking on the issue as well: https://youtu.be/m7efJD5jImE [b]UPDATE 2:[/b] Bungie is officially looking into the ToC matter: https://twitter.com/DeeJ_BNG/status/942446254260236288?s=17 [i]~Nyahh! =^,.,^=[/i]

    I replied to the video with this, but thought I'd post it here too: ______________ Look, people are much more likely to notice a bad luck spree when they have a coin active and are actively waiting for an Exotic. When you play normally you just assume you'll get one now and then and aren't tracking how long it's been for the most part. You pop a coin, that all changes. All of these gaps between drop times would be within acceptable norms without a coin, meaning that a 1% chance isn't going to change much. Also, keep in mind that people are pretty much ten times as likely to post a complaint than a compliement. Everybody is going to complain when they get nothing, but very few are going to chime in when they have good luck. This is proof of nothing and there is in NO way any confirmation of a bug. None of this is "evidence" - it is simply a decent number of personal, unverified testimonies. It's hardly applicable. To me this just seems like some clickbait attempt to finally have some unique, BREAKING NEWS!!! in a D2 video since most of the rest are boring, duplicated content (I mean from everybody, not just you). ***** I'm not saying it's not bugged, it very well could be -- ***** -- I'm saying that what this is based on, along with what most people freaking out are looking at, means pretty much nothing. Unfortunately, we probably won't ever have concrete evidence unless Bungie provides number, which they won't. Until somebody is willing to play 100+ hours both with and without a coin, multiple times, we won't have a clear dataset; and even then that would be the ABSOLUTE minimum to even BEGIN to create a theory. Taking a bunch of random complaints and comments, taking into consideration the points I made above, is quite literally entirely meaningless. Edit: I feel like people are also forgetting that Exotic drop rates were nerfed in many areas, and we don't know by how much. This means it's very possible that even WITH a coin your drop rates is lower than before.
