The BM bag comes with 15 Champion Commendations.

Despite being called a BM bag, the PURPOSE of the bag is to get 15 Champ Commendations.

You may get a BONUS of BM commendations.

This new patch is just eating away my dignity of playing this game. Every day its the same thing, log on do dailies, open bag, champion commendations. It's sad when 2 of my companions are fully geared in champion gear and i have 1 piece battlemaster gear. The PVP loot system after rank 60 needs to change. The theory "1 out of 4" should hold a BM Commendation is false, and very misleading. I honestly give this 2-3 more weeks because with this luck it makes me not want to play this game in this state(no not a threat just very frustrating when BM gear is unobtainable).
honestly you should get 1 pieces a week. i dont see what your complaining about. ive raided in wow and pvped in other games and it takes longer to get more pieces. maybe it seams worse since you have opened up 21 but if you think about it you have aready gotten three weeks of items in what i assume is 2 weeks. this does not seem like a bad pace.
running is never a bad thing

Statistics review:

if it's a random and independant 25% chance of getting a BM commendation then
the chance of getting exactly 0 out of 21 is 0.75^21 = about 0.24%
the chance of getting exactly 1 out of 21 is 0.25*(0.75^20)*21 (see below for *explanation)
= about 1.66%

so the chance of getting 1 or fewer BM commendations is about 1.9%

so about 2% of the people opening 21 bags will get 0 or 1 BM commendation

if you are in that 2%, you'll probably be pissed.

btw for 28 bags (mentioned later) it's about 0.3% for no more than 1 commendation
so either:
1) 25% is wrong
2) the guys is not "lucky" - i.e. he falls in the 0.3%


*explanation:
get first bag BM commendation chance 25%, rest no commendation 75%^20 => .25*(.75^20)
get first bag no commendation chance 75%, 2nd a commendation 25%, rest notihing 75%^19 => 0.75*.0.25*(0.75^19) = .25*(.75^20)
...
add chances of each scenario of getting exactly 1 => .25*(.75^20) + .25*(.75^20)....+25*(.75^20) (21 additions) => 21*.25*(.75^20)

he means 1 token from 4 boxes, and the math is correct.

This is the same terrible RNG crap people hated with Champ bags and BW fixed. There just arent enough BMs for the rage to start again. Why BW didnt fix this while they were at champ bags boggles....

BM is an entirely worthless upgrade anyway. better to run around and pick up boxes in a pve environment for stat bonuses (which is lame beyond lame beyond lame)

To make a sure 25% drop rate is beter if they implement a sitem that give u BM comendations every 4 bags. Fair enough.
