Good Morning Gentlemen&Gentlewomen, I again appeal to you for your golden insights. This time concerning the secrets to Mystery Boxes.
So, this past weekend. I spun an UNGODLY # (total-160+) of the two types of Legend Mystery Boxes. Fishing for the Holy Grail. I filled a few ~needed Prime slots, lots of PXP, LXP etc; but.....NO LEGENDS nada. It is Embarrassing to admit my addiction. (amazing how many "Marv Throneberry" primes you can get in a row...and still push the button for more pain)
I, nicely, contacted CS with the hope that my message of disappointment(&*^$(*&) gets to the Glu Gods, hoping that maybe they throw me a bone out of pity....ha
Here is my main questions to the Mountain:
1-Would I have better success at targeting Mystery Box Legends on the weekend or weekdays? Do you see a difference?
2-Are my odds even better with CVC and WOH boxes?
Please, chime in with your experience! Thanks so much Forum Nation!

I just hope I dont see him as a top level fan reward as I dont have that much gold. But if he's there Im going after him!
I'm pretty sure that the pulls are streaky, tho. Last 2-3 weeks I pulled 350 guys and 380/390 guys like candy from boxes. So far the past week, nothing whatsoever.
My #1 rule in playing this game, learned the hard way last year, is that you should never, ever, chase a mystery box player (unless you're one of those people who spends hundreds or thousands of dollars on this game). Last year, I wanted Ted Williams badly. When he was first released, I bought so many boxes, came up empty, then bought a mountain of gold (despite being a F2P player most of the time) and burned through a chunk of that before I gave up. No Ted.
To be clear, here is why chasing a legend is a fool's errand right now:
1) Whoever you're chasing, there is a better player around the corner. That's the nature of the game, aside from ATGs.
2) If you have an emotional attachment to a specific player, there is almost always another version of that same player around the corner. Last year I didn't get the first Ted, but I got two two-skilled Teds, and then could have bought Holiday Ted for $30 at Christmas. Every one of those was cheaper than chasing the first Ted.
3) The odds are low that you'll pull any legend, let alone the specific legend you want. I think someone above said 1%.
4) The scarcity of LXP right now makes every legend a long term project, assuming you are Gold level or higher. If you invest in getting a legend, be prepared to invest a lot more to actually level him. It's pretty frustrating to have a legend and sit him on your bench.
5) You don't actually "need" a legend right now. Every event in the game is winnable without one, including HOF walkoff.
6) At some point every serious player of this game (maybe below Diamond level) is going to have a team of legends. Bide your time.
