Standard Shuttle 10-Pull nerfage

I and others in my fleet have noticed that Standard shuttle 10-pulls have taken a major nerfage where time boosts are concerned. In the past I'd only go at most 2-3 10-pulls without any time boosts, and even then it would be made up for with multiple time boosts in a subsequent 10-pull. Now however I'm going 5 10-pulls without getting any time boosts, and getting multiple time boosts in one 10-pull barely happens at all. If this is the kind of output we can continue to expect in the future, I may just walk away from the game entirely. Farming Thursday cadets in the past kept me competitive in shuttle events, but I refuse to pay for premium shuttle packs (which don't yield much better results anyway). I had around 20 3* time boosts to start with, and after 95 Standard 10-pulls and 5 premium 10-pulls I have a meager 117 3* time boosts in my inventory. Way to go with the nerfage TP, you're making the game way less fun.

    Pure RNG. Nothing was altered or nerfed at all. :)

    100 + pulls seems more than adequate to rule out randomness from the RNG. After 2+ years playing this game, I know what's normal and abnormal. The odds of me having bad pull after bad pull for over 100 10-pulls is astronomical.

    I find it far more likely that TP intentionally nerfed shuttle pulls , especially seeing the new "Maximum Impulse Power" packs for sale for $24.99 that directly offer time boosts.

    Just another attempt at money grabbing by TP. Nerf what had been working so you can now charge for it. bravo.

    I tend to agree. The three star reducers seem to be the same but the 4 and 5 star are not dropping like they used to

    I just did 10 pulls, saw no difference. Got a variety of timers and boosts. Nothing abnormal.
    Hurry up before those things eat Guy!

    I've actually seen the opposite behavior over the last 100 or so pack pulls. Way more 4 and 5 stars reducers dropping for me while the 3 star reducers are way down.

    As always the answer comes down to this: I am favored by RNGebus and you are not. :D

    I just punch 2 pks a day. In general this is how i have done it for over 3 years.
    The past 4-6 weeks i will say my stock of 1.5 reducers has plummeted from an average 120-170 to 40-60 in stock. I punch the packs the same, i play shuttles events the same. No change in my activity but dramatically less stock.
    RNG or not? Seems a bit odd to have the same play style and technique but such a huge difference in stock. I just thought it was unlucky RNG, but see this thread and wonder?
    Yes i get a 10 pk with 2-3, but then must punch 5 or 6 more 10pks before i see another reducer drop. I have noticed this too since i payed attention to my decline in stock.

    I seem to see a lot more faction events recently. so have used a lot of 1.5 reducers.

    Those numbers sound about right to me, on average about one 3* time boost per 10 pack. It is the results I got over a year ago.
