A wave of frustration is sweeping the gaming community as players report inconsistencies with chest drop rates in a recent event. Complaints continue to flood forums and user boards, revealing many are receiving inadequate rewards after multiple attempts.

"How do we get 15 for the challenge if they stop dropping?" questioned a player, reflecting the groupโ€™s shared anxiety about hitting event goals amidst ongoing frustrations. Another contributor speculated about future rounds, citing, "I assume the 15 chests includes the ones for the next round in a few weeks."

Players Propose Alternative Solutions
