Because that’s the ratio of that item type to the other? The full pool is meaningless.
If I have 12 blue coins and 6 red coins in a bag. It doesn’t matter how many green coins I add to that bag, the ratio of blue coins to red coins in the bag (And therefore the relative odds of pulling one out) does not change.
But comparing the ratio from Trinkets to one other category is meaningless because as I said the vault doesn’t discriminate. Comparing the individual odds against each other is purely pointless.
You can have 12 blue and 6 red, but you can have 20 other colors. The odds of you getting a Red depends on the full options. Not just the blue.
It is disproportional. I’m not arguing against that. It’s clearly stacked towards trinkets. My argument is how are we deriving odds without looking at the loot pool and cherry picking certain slots to compare. Comparing 1 probability against another is meaningless simply because that’s not how the vault functions. You need to compare the 1 you need against the entire pool.
Idk, we are just not going to understand each other on this one. I don’t see how claiming something is 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 is not stating an exact odd. Or that you don’t need the entire loot pool.
It’s simple logic that trinkets are stacked and disproportionate and we both agree on this point. You need less proof to make that claim. You need more proof to claim a specific ratio, and that’s where I don’t see how you are getting the number while ignoring the pool.
Yes, I understand that’s what you care about but it’s meaningless to compare two slots when the vault picks 1 out of all of the available items. It’s essentially, in practice, Red coins (trinkets) vs Blue coins (everything else). Or replace (Trinkets) with the slot you want.
