I've been an ardent MP player for about 4 months, despite Exede satellite DSL and an 800 Ping (I'm the Krogan that you might see stuck in the hallway for a second or 2, or getting kill synched before I realized I was so close to the Praetorian). I have over 360 game hours and over 10K N7 points. Prior to this Bioware Point blitz I had all the N7 weapons at variable levels of upgrade, except I did not have the AR Lancer or SMG Punisher.

As it looks like the wind down is happening, rumors of cheating are starting, and games are flooded with newbies who fail to realize going into a Gold PUG with zero equipment except a Lvl 2 Shield is a bad idea, I went for a final equipment push to upgrade my N7 weapons, rejuvenate my MP interest, and hopefully to get the Lancer.

Over the past week I have purchased 19,200 Bioware points (12 units of 1600 points) from Origin, which is equivalent to 7,200,000 game credits.

For 19,200 Bioware Points equating to 7.2 Million game credits I only received 9 (nine) N7 Upgrades:

- Venon II
- Valiant VI
- Valiant VII
- Crusader V
- Collector SMG V
- Typhoon IV
- Indra IX
- Punisher I
- Lancer I

Compared to other posts of N7 drop rate, a poor showing. Bioware Points are sold as 1600 point units, with AP, PSP, and RP all costing 240 points. I saw no patterns of droppage, no pack type having a higher drop rate, and I was never able to link two consecutive packs with N7 weapons.

Remind me to never return to Vegas.

Can you spare me $5 for food?

Probably best to use real money to get rares, not ultra rares.

For the last 7.2 ME3 million credits, i didn't get any of:
Venon, Punisher, Lancer (nor Spitfire) or Typhoon - which is stuck at level I.

On the other hand, my Indra(for some time) and Valiant(recently) are at level X.

So it might make a difference.
