@ryogokusama Two things:

1. I am fairly sure I have seen Rovio tech support people respond in person here, so I think there is a fairly high likelihood they poke their heads in here just to lurk, occasionally.

2. If I had gotten two new set items out of 30 total set items, that would be bad luck. Maybe. Horrible bad luck, but maybe plausible. But 0 for 30 is so improbable it borders on something like only a single ticket being sold for a national lottery and then finding that single ticket won (lotteries are won when the total number of tickets sold approaches some reasonable fraction of the total possible). It just doesn’t *ever* happen if there is only one ticket. (Like watching for the spontaneous decay of a proton or a baseball quantum tunneling through a catcher’s mitt. Sure, theory predicts it, so theoretically it’s possible, but it’s never been observed and never will be since the probability is so low.)

The rest of you post is, to be blunt, kinda dumb. First thing I did was submit a report to Rovio. Second thing I did was come here to let people know there *might* be a problem so they didn’t waste their LCs. You might not appreciate I did it, but I’m guessing a few other people did. And even if they didn’t, did it really affect you? But then I see you’re getting flamed from a lot of people. Sorry about that.

I don’t know of a workaround, and I doubt there is one. For all I know the AGPM isn’t broken. Rovio hasn’t responded to my service request, they typically run about a week or two in responding. So they have to acknowledge there is a problem. My hunch is they will deny it, and that I just had bad luck. But statistically I don’t see how it can be working correctly. Let me run through this for you. Because the game puts my new set items at the end of the chain, the last time I got a new set item was at least 50 set items ago (meaning I have a lot of Sinister, Blessed, Blazing, Frost, and Mighty items, and very very few Valiant, Linking, and Anger). So it’s like I flipped a coin with a 0.375 probability of heads (i.e. *any* new set item (6/16)) and 0.625 probability of tails (i.e. *any* old set item (10/16) and got tails 50 times in a row. The likelihood of that happening by chance is 0.625^50, which is a very small number (6×10^-11). That probability is a factor of 100 smaller, give or take, than winning Powerball on a single ticket. It just doesn’t happen.
