Advertised rates can be found at this link: https://maplestory.nexon.net/micro-site/37244. However, a consistent pattern has emerged after multiple instances of purchasing royal hair and face styles – it's become strikingly clear that the likelihood of acquiring certain hairstyles does not align with the advertised probabilities. While the less desirable facial options are consistently and disproportionately awarded, the more sought-after styles are notably absent in the ratios indicated by the advertisements.

In a scenario where one should statistically expect at least one style in every ten attempts, the reality contradicts this projection. After investing more than 150k nx, the evident outcome is that these styles do not possess equitable probabilities. Instead, the less desirable styles are secured well over ten times or more, underscoring a significant disparity. What should be a genuinely random occurrence appears to have devolved into a repetitive cycle of a select few highly undesirable choices, with a markedly minimal chance of accessing the superior styles as advertised.

This divergence between the purported uniform probability and the observed skewed distribution is what raises concern. It's essential to address that this situation can be perceived as misleading advertising. While the company may maintain that the probability distribution is consistent, the empirical evidence paints a picture of severe skewness. This disconnect between the advertised probabilities and the actual outcomes leaves an impression that challenges the integrity of your company's practices.
