Magnificent soul event disappointing

This was my first time trying it out, and it was disappointing.. I had an impression of good results when they said 5x the chance to get magnificent soul but boy was it bad

In total I did about 200-300 soul shards and only received 2 magnificents!

These shards don't always drop so it takes a while to collect these shards, I feel like my effort were in vain here

wat do you guys think, I watched a video of someone having worse results opening 300+ shards so is this normal or is it actually worth waiting for this event? I may not want to bother with this again but it is my first time trying it so maybe its just bad luck?

    I got 2 mags from only using maybe 70 shards.

    the event gives x5 the chance of a percentile that we dont know. for all we know it could have gone from 1% to 5% or from 0.01% to 0.05%. I'd say, if you want a better chance to get mag souls instead of having to get them from other players or the premium RNG boxes, then it is worth it, as the results are not better outside the event.

    240 VL shards
    70 of emp and mag
    50 of the ra bosses
    plus 200 combined of the other ones zak/elite boss/ani/hilla/pb/ark

    0 mag souls.

    Hard to not feel bitter about your disappointment over your 2 mag souls considering I had over triple your shards. :/
