I'm new...forgive me if this has been brought up before.
There is no doubt that the community for this game is small. There also is no doubt that Very Rares are rare. Normally, neither one of these issues are that terrible, but together they cause a problem. Looking at previous lists of "# of Very Rares" in the population, it seems that many of the VRs don't even have complete sets between the entire community. Also, If a member becomes less active, the community could lose copies of VRs that used to be in circulation. I am uncertain of the exact rarity of a VR, but I have spent $100 on cards (I have 64 rares), and did not pull 1 VR. In my opinion, for a community this size, a VR should be drawn about every 12-15 Rares. If the cards were not meant to be owned, then they probably shouldn't be released. |

| The VR ratio is about 1 in every five 60 packs. In other words, one within every 30 rares. If you spent $100, then you should expect 2 VR. You just got unlucky there. |

I think it's closer to 1 VR every 20 packs of 60.
PS. I'm fine with the amount of VRs. And many players don't usually say which VRs they have, so I wouldn't rely too much on the list. |

| There are a ton of VRS on inactive player accounts as well. If they only new how much people would shell out for them lol. |

I know its a bit frustrating, but believe me we changed the chance of VR drops lately to a certain point where the number of VR around the server is surprisingly high. Back then there were about 5-6 VR around the server. Now there are about 50.
Although I must say, normally when someone buys 600 cards cards its most likely they would get at least 2 VRs. I guess that was just bad luck then. But hey, trades are up. I'm sure you will be able to trade some of your rares for a VR eventually.

600 cards = 10 60 packs |

Hahahahahahahahaha, I counter your 10 - 20 with my 2 VRs in well over 60 boosters. They were both Beast Form. I'm still unhappy about that.

lol, more than 1200 cards and not a single VR
I bet there is some guy at the other end of the bell curve who gets a VR with every single f*cking booster he buys =P |

Maybe there should be a guaranteed VR if you buy enough packs?
For example:
1st pack: 2% chance /rare
2nd pack: 4% chance /rare
etc... And when you get a VR the chance percentage would reset. Just an idea.
If you never try, you'll never know. |

| Well, I used to look at all the open boosters and usually there were 5-6 VR's in every 100 packs. You can look for yourself by continually adding 1 to the number in the url: http://www.ederon.com/account/openBooster.asp?idBooster=62835 (Note that some boosters are blank; I'm guessing it reserved the number for someone initiating the buy process, but cancelling before payment.) |

Ive Boought almost countless amounts of cards and only ever had 3 VR's, i DO think the game could do with a few more but then i suppose people would buy less cards as a result, i only still buy cards with the hope of getting holiday or VR cards.

Are Very Rares too rare?
