They like to do random drop events instead of giving something to every one, They should just do coin events where people can buy the EBBS like they did last summer.

I've seen a few happy people who brought their newly-won EBBs into battle rooms. So yes, the EBB drop is on.

One guy even kept exclaiming, "Woooot Borodino!!" , or something to the effect, repeatedly throughout the entire game =.=

But think of it, the drop rates are very low, just 15 a day.
There are probably thousands of different people who log on at different times, so your chances of getting one of those 15 EBBs are very very slim.

Even before the event started, I saw the amount, 15 EBBs, and instantly gave up hope of getting one.

Anyhow, I'll agree on the coin event - it is still the best event by far.
It really encourages people to play more, and the icing on the cake is, you can even select your prize later (according to how much coins you have).

I liked the wins event because people couldnt seem to win 4 or 5 or whatever games a day and cried about it on the forums lol

ebb drop rate is very very low and only 15 lucky player could recieve every day until the event ends... if it was to put on a percentage

probably its 0.05% ebb drop rate :D

I didn't like that event much, for it felt like you had to go classes to fulfil attendance quotas in school / college / university simply to be allowed to sit for the exams.

It's not about the winning part though, just the feeling that it was 'compulsory' for you to do something everyday. It would have been better if it required you to get 100 wins during the event period for prize A, 200 wins for prize B, and so on.

That way, people could play whenever's convenient or when they had the urge to - somedays more, somedays less - and not feel like you had to clock in and clock out each day in a monotonous 9 to 5 job.

In the coin event, I was very motivated to keep playing for hours, as I knew every extra game could bring another coin and give me a better prize.

But with the 4-wins event, the moment I got my 4th win, I lost interest and logged off, for I knew that no matter how much more extra I played, it wouldn't do squat as far as prizes are concerned.

I could get 400 wins a day for 20 days straight, but if I was unable to play for a few days later in that month, then all my efforts would still go down the drain.

It would be better if people had a goal to reach to achieve an EBB. The coin event, and the wins per day event were good events because people knew what they had to do to get what they want. There was also choice: people could choose what they wanted, and not be given something they have no use for, and can't sell/trade to someone else who might want it.

This random drop garbage is useless, because either your $DE account is lucky, or your SOL for getting **** all.

The current Olive event is a step in the right direction, but EBBs can't be picked up with Olives.
