I'm a small-time MP player and I usually do silver or bronze, so it takes me a while to get this much cash. For those of you who have bought a whole bunch of spectre packs compared to the "premium" packs: overall, what do you think is a better value in the long run?
Premium Packs, no matter how you look at it.
They roll on the exact same reward list for gold cards. But the Premium Spectre Packs roll on that list twice at only 1.65 times the cost.
Just some basic mathematics:
For the price of
165 Spectre Packs, guaranteeing you 165 rares or better
you could've bought
100 Premium Spectre Packs, guaranteeing you 200 rares or better.
The chance of the guaranteed card in your Spectre Pack to be an N7 (supposedly around 5%) is probably the exact same chance for one of your guaranteed cards in the Premium Spectre Pack to be an N7. You just have that chance TWICE. And though that doesn't result in your chances doubling, it's pretty close: (1 - (0.95 * 0.95)) * 100% = 9.75%.
Your chances to get 2 N7's within a single Premium Spectre pack are extremely small though: 0.05 * 0.05 * 100% = 0.25%
