Radio Event has been nerfed

Chances of Radio's in Gold Chest was 3% it's now 6% (2x greater chance)
Chances of Radio's in Silver Chest was 4% it's now 8% (2x greater chance)
Chances of Radio's in Bronze Chest was 2.5% it's now 15% (6x greater chance)

Those "increases" are based off the %s that were lowered from 5% around the time when the chance of radios in the Trade Good store were also lowered (bronze crates only, silver and gold have stayed the same).

I saw the comment. (quoted below)
I'm not sure where he got those drop rates from, maybe from what he and others appeared to experience because as far as I'm aware drop rates weren't released at the time of the last event as JayZ mentioned. (quoted below)
Kaz says drop rates were double in all crates. (I can only assume that is true.) He does not mention if that has changed, I guess we'll only know when the event starts. (quoted below)

That's what we know as far are drop rates.

What we do know is in previous event Gold Crates contained 6 Radios, Silver 4, Bronze 2. Exactly what I said in my previous comment.

And for those that want to compare this event to previous radio events (when they ran for the entire weekend), here's the drop rates found that were consistent across multiple radio events:
Bronze Crate: 15% (instead of 5% outside of event)
Silver Crate: 8% (instead of 4% outside of event)
Gold Crate: 6% (instead of 3% outside of event)

Agreed. It's too bad we couldn't see the "increased" percentage of the last time they ran the radio event to be able to compare this event to the previous event. We can only compare this event to normal drop rates.

The chances were doubled in all crates (Normal/Silver/Gold) and those are the same numbers from the previous events. Between Increased and Double, they would sound the same. And a "reasonable increase" is not the best way to sell an event, haha. But the drop tables will be there to clear any doubt!

@TJS - If you think my "data" comes from a source that wasn't 100% accurate, that's fine. Sharing the "data" (aka drop rates) before Apple made NG do so resulted in numerous bans/jailings on this forum, and a threat or two saying they'd ban me from the game. Would they do that if I was sharing lies? Believe me if you want to, or don't, it doesn't matter to me. I'm not just making stuff up, and it wasn't from tedious amounts of data collection. In JayZ's comment, "we" didn't include everyone; there have always been people who actually knew what was going on with the game (and someone like me...aka the "WikiLeaks" of NML data), and there are plenty of people who probably realize this after having certain things (like body shot mechanics) explained to them...now that's just common knowledge that has no real "data" behind it. Some things are still a mystery, but many things aren't and haven't been for a long time.

And I don't think Kaz was intentionally lying; he probably just didn't know or got incomplete info. Is it a coincidence that he said every % was doubled, I said bronze had been tripled (silver/gold % doubled was accurate), and the drop rates now show that bronze has been tripled (based on the old drop rates 15% is 3x 5%...6x the new nerfed rate of 2.5%)???

Did NG change the drop rates based on my comment, or maybe I knew exactly what I was talking about? I don't make those types of statements without confidence they are correct...and will admit when I'm wrong...
