OTM won't reveal drop rate. We will find it ourselves.

1) Post how many eggs you got out of X number of chests. Calculate the percentage. (EX. 1 / 50 is 0.02%).

2) We will average the percentages in the end.

I will be glad that I bought 0 platinum for this *** once we found out the rate.

In the interests of fairness, also post the number of 4k plat drops and 2m gold drops received. So you can also compare the drop rates against the other jackpot items. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the eggs have a better drop rate, yet I've never seen anyone complain about the drop rates of the 4k plat and 2m gold prizes.

An egg is not a jackpot, you need six of them. Let’s get real, we had legacy mounts and they dropped at what may have been a reasonable rate. It appears one egg is dropping at the rate of the previous legacy mount. Believe what you may, but I don’t expect one egg to drop at the same rate os one of those jackpot prizes. An egg should be 1/6th of a jackpot.

By OTM's own description, the egg is a jackpot prize. Whether you choose to believe that or not is up to you. But the fact is an egg is a jackpot prize.
Read the description of the dragon egg in the food of the gods patch notes.

Eggs are a jackpot prize... just like 2m gold, 4K plat, and past 100% mounts. Clearly the drop rates for the eggs are higher than all of those other jackpot prizes simply because you need 6 of them.

I don’t understand why everyone is complaining. Just don’t buy the fire breath chests period and get Aeon if it’s that big of a deal to you. Don’t get mad just because you lost a gamble that you decided to take part of and knew completely what you were getting into

5700 chests
9 eggs
0 2m
0 4k

No way the eggs are the same jackpot at 2m and 4k
