I'm sorry to mock your pain, man, but that made me laugh pretty hard.

In the team instances, I'm not sure if this is coincidence or not but up until last week whenever there was purple equipment in the Jonin/Akatsuki ones, whenever I hit the first card I got it. Like, always. And then recently it's all been random. I think it was just a weird coincidence, but it's definitely not me remembering wrong.
