Increase drop rate of max ER boxes

I know somewhere there was a discussion recently about having trouble filling EQ and getting ERs when you don't really need them.

So I get boxes of 2 ERs way too often. I can't be the only one right?
Even over a long period of time it seems that boxes of 2 ERs consist of about 50% of the boxes I pick up. With 3 ER boxes at about 25% and 4 ER boxes at about 25%.

Let's increase the odds of receiving 3 and 4 ER boxes. It will cut down on fill times and at least when you do receive ERs at inopportune times, odds are it will be a 4 ER box instead of a lowly 2 ER box. A 2 ER box is hardly worth it, when it took me 2-3 ERs to find that one box. I just end up in a never ending cycle of being stuck, for example, at 20 ERs until I can find a screen with more than 1 box. I know this doesn't happen all the time, but it seems to happen to me a little too frequently. This could help cut out some of the extra downtime it takes to fill ERs to full, as well.

Here's an SS from today...(the next box I picked up was actually 2 ERs as well, although not in the SS. 6 out of 7 boxes were 2 ERs

)

I get anything is possible with 1/3 odds of each, even though I don't think those odds are accurate in game, but getting 2 ER boxes in this fashion happens to me daily it seems and no such thing ever happens with 4 ER boxes.

Increase 3 and/or 4 ER boxes drop rate, decrease 2 ER boxes drop rate. It will be better this way for everyone.

agreed. should be weighted towards the highest amount possible. small things like this is what turns a game into a chore. when it takes 2 minutes to empty your equipment and 15 minutes to refill them theres a problem.

I agree on that too. Way too many 5 Dual boxes for me.

I just used ERs as a prime example of this because the quantities are small(2-4 ERs) and you end up having to fill ERs up at the end of a fill which does take far too long when you are only receiving 2 ER boxes over and over.

Well said, all true.

most my fills both in and out of tournaments are frustrating, 5 duals and 2 ers boxes far trump what else i get

Sometimes it fills all my ers before my duels :hammertime:

Agreed that 2 ER should be rarer.

We seriously should be able to set priorities... how about on a percentage bases?

Priority 1 = 25% increased chance of getting selected equipment until equipment is full.
2: 20%
3: 15%
4: 10%
5: 5%

Should be void for tournaments tho.
