I have two gears of level 9 and three gears of level 8, spent hundreds minerals...... I guess I have collected over 20K minerals in total, and currently over 6K in store........

well don't really know if that answers my question
Basically, the answer is this. A 20% chance does not mean you will get an upgrade after trying 5 times. Its like flipping a coin. If you flip a coin 10 times and you get heads only 1 time. This does not make sense if you think you have 50% chance to get heads. But if you flipped the coin 100 times, maybe you would have 49 heads.
What I am basically trying to explain is that based on the small sample size that you are experiencing you cannot draw accurate statistics. I have had gear upgrade on the first try when it says 25%, and then on another gear it took me 10 tries.
Just keep on trying and eventually your gear will be upgraded.
As chamabow said, he has tried hundreds of times hence the huge amount of minerals he has and has used in his game play.
My point is that it think the "random" 20% chans generator to get a upgrade is broken. And with a 20% chance its not that big of a sample size. 1 in 5 is supposed to give you a win.
