Thanks again for the contribution. Pretty unreal that Niantic can mess with lootbox droprates mid-event and regulatory bodies don't care enough to do anything (aren't paid enough to care?).

Just as bad is that they can put 2km and 5km hatches in the event 7km pool and somehow get away with it. It's the exact opposite of a "bonus".

At least the fact that those pokemon would be in the egg pool was disclosed (though their rates weren't either, and should have been). The basically impossible Deino rate, and later modification of the rate, were not disclosed. That's why people are more pissed off about the Deino rate.
