Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full ****, man. Never go full ****.
I got really lucky once and got a 2 and 7 days token right after I got buccs (before the seige cycle started), so i was able to have a fleet of 4 done by raid time. Havent been that lucky since then
I finally received a 2+7 the week before the last raid. This enabled me to build another Manticure for the raid resulting in more repair time per target. THANKS KIX.
I did get a 2+2 once, but that was also the week where they changed the prize timers and I missed out on the 1-day token. So I still ended up with the same amount of token days that week.
The problem is that Kix doesn't use practical statistics very well -if ever. Matter of fact, as smart as they might be at other forms of math, they are quite ignorant in regards to applied statistics and how their ratios effect the individual player.
The farther from 50%-50% they deviate with their ratios the longer those coin tosses take to reach a balance. It can take a single player what feels like an eternity to roll enough chests to have it actually come out to the average that was intended. When Kix looks at the number of each kind of chest rolled each week they see deviations from week to week, but their sample size being in the thousands per week takes much less time to equalize to the ratio they have assigned to each size chest.
With odds as offset as they appear to be based on the random samples from polls here and on other pages like TFC etc., there is a significant number of players that can get a chest every week for years and never get more than 2+1. This leaves those on the wrong side of the RNG disillusioned and wondering why kixeye hates them so much. Just one of the many contributors to dead bases imo.
Like another here, I got 2 x 2d & had one up my sleeve as used to only getting a 1d & a 2d so got ripped off.
Be much better if it was a guaranteed amount, then we might not get ripped off by rng
Fleas for free for all pirates, you're very welcome

So 2 weeks before the raid I got 4 days. 1 week before the raid I got 9 days... Just now I got 4 again...

And as holsh said, 5-8 wont ever happen, those who voted there are screwing with you.
It either 3, 4 or 9.
Kixeye needs to increase the odds for higher drops.
