W.H.I.T.E.O.U.T

Good News: I unloaded 56 fuel into OD-6 Normal and I got no fortune boxes this time.
So my luck streak is either gone or it's giving me a false sense of security before it catches me off-guard with another backfire premium.
But it's eventually going to end at some point...
 
... Right?

Hello, everyone. Whiteout here.
I've been getting questions recently as to where I farm or how I get lucky since time that my dual premium fortune box streak occurred a day or two ago (it's in Flex Thread, by the way), which gave me an idea. I made this thread as a way to post my fortune box drop results and keep track of how many fortune boxes I get per each full fuel tank grind. That way, it'll give people a general idea of how my daily grinding for fortune boxes is like.
That, and I suffer from "eternal boredom" so this is an excuse for me to do something that's remotely productive. Also, yes, I'll try my best to keep this thread as updated as possible.. If it doesn't end up on the 5th page of the topic history by the time I get my first fortune box, that is.
But yeah, this is just a small thing I wanted to do because of boredom and the questions about fortune box grinding in general.
That's all I have to say, really, so I'll just end the topic here. 
I'm not the best at ending topics with closings so please refrain from judging me. That would be appreciated.

I seriously do not know why I'm getting backfire premiums from fortune boxes. If anything, I'm blaming RNG for this because Ramboy wasn't involved this time.

To be honest, I don't really know.
I didn't get legendaries or epics for a whole month then suddenly this started happening.
It's either a pity system or the game thinks that I don't have enough legendaries for an average level 207 (now 208) player.

Did.. You consider the fact that Insane is called Insane for a reason? Actually- Did you even consider the names of the difficulties to begin with? If you take one good look at the difficulties, they strangely seem to resemble the difficulties of the 3 main campaigns and the colors of the basic portal enemies match those of the basic campaign enemies of the same difficulty.
The events are open to literally everyone and will give out prizes to everyone but they have to work for it exactly like they have to work for things like gold, XP, fortune boxes, and arena win gold boxes in campaign. It gives out rewards but it only gives them out to those who are able to overcome the challenge. There's no problem or favoritism going on here, there's only a fair system that's been used since the very first introduction of campaign. Can't complete a difficulty? Just get stronger. That's it.
As for the "VIP favoritism", that has nothing to do with the game, really. It has something to do with the people who spend their way into getting what they want from the game's drop rate system that everyone uses. Sure, there's the $50 USD deals and the 4k token deals but those are accessible to everyone, not just people like CleverName.
I know how it feels like to grind a whole lot just to get stuck in one place since I'm a F2P and I even get frustrated due to it but hell, I'm willing to acknowledge the fact that the system is geared to give everyone the same experience and opportunities. It all comes down to how us, the players, use that system. We can do things without spending a single cent or spend thousands upon thousands of dollars for those premiums that are at the top of the META but that won't change anything about the system itself.
Unless, of course, you want to do things another way.. We could have a game that's easy to beat with no challenge or strategy whatsoever and have a game that loses our interests upon minutes of starting a playthrough. It wouldn't have ads, it wouldn't have deals, it wouldn't have boxes, it wouldn't have weapon RNG, it would just have you and a bunch of enemies that don't bother with doing anything.
It would be an open experience that's available for everyone and is beatable by everyone.. But who's to say that anyone would be interested in that when there's nothing to be interested in? See where I'm getting at?
This game has things like RNG, difficulties, events, deals, arena battles, titan battles, raids, clans, and premium items but never has there once been something that restricted a specific group of people from purchasing something or playing a certain mode because of the amount of money that they spent or the lack thereof. 
To call SuperMechs "VIP favored" is like saying that War Robots is actually friendly towards F2P players.. Because it's not. It doesn't let F2P players have the chances to use powerful items like it does with its P2W players. It gives its P2W players all of the most powerful mechs, weapons, and cosmetics all on a silver platter while letting their F2P players rot away as they have to grind endlessly to get anywhere near to getting one of those things.
But in SuperMechs, everyone has the same chance to get a premium item or a deal. Hell, I have a rank 15 alt that has 4 Platinum Vests (2 Molten and 2 Lightning) and an Overload Preventor and it's just level 85 but I haven't spent a single cent on it, just like my level 207; rank 9-7 main that has 3 monkes, Overcharged Rocket Battery, Burning Shower, Sparked Runners, Rusty Heat Blaster, Falcon, Spinefall, Desert Snake, Cockpit Electrocuter, Electrocuted Scope, Quad Core Booster, and so on. I'm simply a F2P and yet I have an inventory like that. Ironic for someone who's playing in a "VIP favored" system, eh?
So if you're just gonna throw baseless accusations, start pointless rants, or attack people who simply want to help you see the good that this game has, it's likely for the best that you keep those opinions in your head because while everyone is entitled to having opinions, it's definitely not alright to go ahead and force those opinions onto other people so that you could have a small moment to feel like you're superior because of how you "exposed" the way of how literally any mobile game works nowadays, if not less forgiving than what SuperMechs has to offer. Sure, there's some games with more forgiving systems but those games are of a more finished state while SuperMechs is a game that is still growing, even if it started back in '13.
Anyways, I'ma end this post here. I think I posted enough of a tirade for a topic of this sort. Apologies in advance for anyone who's gotten a headache from reading this post.
 
 

And I know that I said Frantic Brute in that list of heat weapons but it's a physical weapon seen a lot in arena as a whole, so I didn't involve it while the 4 mentioned heat weapons die off during the traversal between midranks and highranks without the assistance of a premium weapon.
However, all that they needed as assistance for the portal, as a bare minimum, was 2 Heat Bombs, E-M heat weapons that appear a lot in arena overall when it comes to heat builds.

Now that you mention it.. Tactisoft's portals were almost exactly like these portals in terms of difficulty but the rewards were far less substantial due to less tokens per difficulty.
To say that this event was ruined is like saying that a Black Friday that doesn't have any violence for once isn't Black Friday.
In basic terms, this event was improved greatly by the token reward increases but the difficulty balances that increase to make the rewards good yet makes it so that the player has to work for them and not just beat a few bots and get 220 tokens like it's free candy.

The magic of photoshop.

This is blursed but since there's no Blursed Images thread, I'ma have to place it here until someone creates a thread for blursed images.
... Unless I have to do it, that is.
 

What's wrong with this image? Well...
 
 

 
 
Massive Feet were from a canon legacy item.
 
... Yep, the walking resist breaking resist module feet were, in fact, from a legacy item and weren't conjured up in Deviant Art as an anime character OC.

Backfire luck is intensifying.
I'm definitely blaming Ramboy for this.
