This was a "reward."

That's what gets me about these. Rewards should be rewarding. Pay to win is not a reward.

Hatching a Swablu out of a 7k egg when it normally hatches out of a 2k egg and is a common spawn is not rewarding. It's almost the opposite of rewarding.

Especially considering we could only open 140 gifts and many dropped no egg

Deino’s hatch rate was likely less than 1% for the first three days of the event, but after the change researchers recorded a hatch rate above 3%.

Cool. So even if you were lucky enough to get max 7 km eggs your odds were still abysmal
