the odds of winning suck outloud! after 10 m in dappers worth of tokens i received 4 fireworks no yubo/shield/spoon/or title and about 100 flowers and 500 cats. seems the brotherhood of the dapper takers are quite stingey. i beleive you need to reset the odds of winning a little higher cos the dapper to prize ratio is to low. btw wining tokens and flowers is bunk.. put real prizes on the wheel like amps/weapons/armor/jools. and in my perfect ryzom there would be a fireworks stand, not an almost impossible chance to receive some. i said my peice,but in my eyes this is just another failure by GF to provide content.

Heh you have my sympathy... my balance: 6k tokens played, 1 title, 1 fireworks.
But i think you are overestimating the wheel...it ain't the big new content, isnt't supposed to be either. its a little add-on that might grow old soon, Zorai booth was quite populated in the beginning, now its mostly empty. I like it because it gives me at least something to do while i feel like doing nothing useful and just watch chats

hello
hmm i find its ok the only wish i have replace the flowers with speed or invu flowers. No Amps Weapons Armor Jools pls not good for our crafters and the wheel is a little help to sink the dappers and in my eyes it works..
ok a hat or cap without stats would be fine too

Hijacking the thread a bit, because that is what i expected when i first read the thread title:
after carefully risking a very few tokens (see above), i cant help to feel that the odds on the 4 diferent wheels dont seem to be the same. Methinks the wheel in Tryker has a significant lower rate of returning tokens. the other three give me ~35 per 100 played, Tryker one i got only about 20 per 100. It also seems to me that the Zorai wheel is more likely to return cats. I suspect there are other differences... anyone noticed that, too?

Sounds like someone needs a grant to do a detailed statistical analysis
"I need 500, 000, 000 dappers, to study the distribution of winnings from the Brotherhood of the Fortunate Gubani.... in Yrkanis, then the same again in Pyr, and Zora, and FairHaven.... and I will need some money to pay an assistant too"

imo if the fireworks at the very least were made regular prizes (Type A as regular as flowers / Type B as regular as q100 cats / type C as regular as q150 cats / type D as regular as q200 cats / type....) it would certainly dumb down the frustration of unlucky players. (Oh and make them "winnable" in stacks of 3 or 5 pls...*what am i gonna do with my 1 firework ? should I set it off ? Yes ? No ?...*
)
As for the shield, yubo, etc..Kaetemi's right, they are RARE ! What's the point of a rare item if everybody gets it within a couple weeks ?
