    I am a premium member and get two spins a day and recently I've been getting 850ep as a second reward spin quite a lot recently is this a glitch? Maybe bigpoint needs to reprogram their farm wheel..... I don't think its quit fair to get the same reward so often in a short period of time as in weeks....

    Hello FarmerTed,

    Sorry you are not happy with your rewards, but the Farm Wheel is completely random. You could post your constructive comments in the Feedback thread.

    Can I assist you further?

    Not a mod, but remember that "random" does not mean "even". It means "unpredictable". Part of that "unpredictability" is that you might just get some long series or repeats. If you want to track randomness, you cannot just go by "feel", you have to keep track of your returns over a LONG period of time. Even then, just showing that you get an unusually large number of a specific items doesn't mean its generally non-random. Remember, the normal curve has "tails" -- the frequency of various items is only the same at the top of the curve. The sides will be full of "strange" anomalies. This is why you have to plug the data into specific statistical programs. This is relatively simple for something with only 2 options, but with all the options on the farmwheel.. it can be difficult unless you have the right programs and data in your computer.

    Just as an example, would be highly unusual to get 50 of the same item in a row but not impossible in a truly random system. Its just unusual. Getting the same item on different days might be more likely yet.

    OR, to put it another way... if an event has a 1 on a million likelihood, then given the number of players here, it probably happens fairly often.

    Help? If not.. sorry.
