As a software company that needs to adjust quickly to profits and losses from up to millions of micro-transactions daily, they need to maintain good control of such things - even if that is the only control they have. Just think...if they can pull 2x events (e.g. 2x drop) outta their asses on the server side, why wouldn't they be able to change anything else that the server generates?
Why doesn't the same logic apply to scrolls and mastery books?
(Or, at least, it's not supposed to apply)
They used to tell us Premium Cubes had a 25% chance of increasing lines from 2 to 3, then they removed that. Now we know absolutely nothing about the odds of any cube doing anything. That's disgusting. It's one thing to be fighting a RNG when cubing, it's quite another to be fighting an AI trying to maximize profits.
