I see a blingatron maybe once every 3 months, coupled with the ridiculously low rate. The likelihood of obtaining either of these 2 mounts is 0.
Wrong.

Well no shit the calculation was wrong. I didn't need you to tell me that tidbit, Einstein. The point is, the number is so low that it's not even worth bothering with.Wrong.
don't forget people are also doing it for pets, which don't appear to be as rare as mounts.I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen a Blingtron on my ftp toons. Even if farmed daily, with that drop rate it doesn't seem worth actually trying. Luck is luck, may it be with you.
That lottery analogy was good. Because I'm sure we've all bought lottery tickets before, and I'm sure each and every one of us that has, has never won the lottery before.I think the point of this thread is that the OP wants to make a standard time for every US F2P to have a Blingtron available - which would increase the odds of at least someone getting a mount or pet by a noticeable amount. Because, you know, at least someone wins the lottery if they at least buy a ticket. And lucky for us, the ticket is free and requires 2 minutes of login, ... Einstein.
I don't see any point in the posts that say "THIS IS USELESS LOL". If you have a fundamental understanding of the way chance works, you'd see that the OP is simply trying to organize and help everyone in the community. At the very least, it's a daily f2p gold cap method.
Would be nice to see a p2p engineer on AP who would be willing to do this!
I explained why this wasn't relevant to me...
Whatever he is trying to organize is not going to affect me in the slightest.
I wasn't trying to slander what he is trying to do. I just wanted to give my take on this Blingatron 4000 thing.Then why do you feel the need to post in this thread?
As the saying goes, "don't yuck his yum"
Given that mounts are account-wide, it doesn't really matter what the engineer's realm or faction is.Would be nice to see a p2p engineer on AP who would be willing to do this!
so we could all make a level 1 draenei or belf or some low population area so it will just be the wanting F2P. This of course needs a P2P help and alot of interest but I'm pretty sure if we set up a specific time every 5 hours (I think thats the cd on bling?) it could get alot of interest.
What is the advantage of putting up a Blingtron in a low population area? As far as I know an unlimited number of people can loot a Blingtron during the 10 minutes it is up.
Anyway, my main is an engineer on a P2P account. She needs to level up more before she can build Blingtrons, but I'll keep this idea in mind.
