If true, it means they can vary cube "success rates" on the fly.
What kind of scamming company codes that sort of thing into its game?
You'd expect cubes to have fixed rates that we could maybe figure out, an "expected cost" a person could take into account when considering whether to improve or replace their gear. But no. They are flat-out telling us they can make them as "unlucky" or "lucky" as they please, without even a maintenance. Makes you feel confident about buying cubes on sale, right? Or buying them at all, for that matter...
Of course it might not be true, and this might just be a marketing lie. Let's see anyone prove the chance didn't really go up.
Maybe I've just had rotten luck, but I've suspected for a long time that they reduce the chances whenever they have a cube sale, and I now avoid buying discount cubes. I also suspect (and I know I'm not alone in this) that the upgrade chances are considerably lower than they were when cubes were first introduced 2 (?) years ago.
