Have received the same skin from superior battlepacks 10 times

Product: Battlefield 1
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Have received the same battlepack skin 10 TIMES! At one point 3 times in a row. This was confirmed by EA support on the phone, and he told me to post here. The skin I've had x10 is the Gordon Highlander skin for the auto revolver from the superior battlepacks. This has to be a bug, and has been a massive let down and waste of money.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Trade scraps for superior battlepacks? I'm not sure how it could be replicated.
What happens when the bug occurs? I get this tasteless gold skin for a gun I never use for 900 scraps.
Please select your region Europe
In what game mode did the bug occur? Conquest
AMD or Nvidia Model Number R9 290
Enter RAM memory size in GB 32

    For sure it can be annoying to get the same Skin many times.
    But the content from Battlepacks is completely random. Not sure if that's a real Bug!

    The odds of getting the same legendary skin 10 times would be phenomenal. Am I really that unlucky? The EA customer support guy thought it was worth bug reporting.

    I can't tell you if there happens a Bug to you or if it's working normal. But i also got a few times the same Legendary Skin from my Superior Battlepacks. Have never heard from anyone else who means that is a Bug.

    I think it's just a Luck thing! Sry.

    I have received the same skin from superior battlepacks as well. I got 4 in a row. The chances of that happening if they were to be randomly selecting from the other legendary skins in the revision is a miracle. It wouldn't happen. If I put all the legendary skins from that revision in a hat so to speak and pulled out a skin four times there is no way I'd pull the same skin from the pool four times in a row even if that skin was returned to the hat after each draw. It is possible but it would be like winning the lottery and that pretty much never happens for most people in their lifetime. I agree it must be a bug because I read this issue happening to many people on the BF1 forums. The chances of it happening to multiple people if these battlepacks randomly drop is impossible.

    I don't think its a bug. I have seen countless of youtubers opening battlepacks and it was the same skin over and over again.

    There is a higher change to get the same skin. Its just like the tank skins. Good luck with getting those 😞.

    Well then it's clearly not random selection. If you are telling me that out of all 8 legendary skins they have pre allocated percentage rates of dropping then it's not random. It says the tank skins are rare so they aren't going to drop regularly but the other 6 legendary skins aren't dropped randomly. 2 of them will drop 80% of the time. A primary weapon and a pistol. Then 1 other drops 10% and the other 3 I haven't seen drop from all my superior battlepacks or regular as well. It's like that for each revision. I'm so sick of getting the same skin over and over again. It ruins the experience for me after absolutely loving the rest of the game. In my opinion they have got it wrong when it comes to battlepacks. It's a s*** fight currently but I know why they have it set up this painful system because they are going for the cash grab! It traps people into buying battlepacks thinking they will eventually get that skin they really want only to constantly disappoint with a duplicate and the cycle repeats. It's like a poker machine, you think that next big win is in the next spin (battlepack) but the house always wins.

    There's NOTHING random about the skins. My experiences are as follows;

    I have now opened 60 thats SIXTY standard crates in a row without receiving a single legendary skin. Not an exaggeration. SIXTY standard crates in succession and not a single Legendary Weapon Skin, not even duplicates. Not possible if this is random. Bought 40 normal crates, not one contained a legendary item, then earned an additional 20 normal crates through play and still not one legendary skin.

    When they dropped the Tsar dlc, I bought around 11 superior packs trying to get the new skins. I received the Cei Rigotti (sp?) 6 times including 3 in a row, and a shot gun skin I already own 3 times. I then got a single new skin twice. I have experienced on DOZENS of occasions getting the same skin two and three times in a row when I already own it in the first place. This has been the case right from the start, where I had a pitifully small collection of skins. I'd still get the one skin I owned multiple times in a row rather than a new one.

    I have learned my lesson EA. I will never for as long as I live invest money in your so called RNG in game drops. There is NOTHING random about them, they are a very carefully thought out system for squeezing the maximum amount of cash out of those people who make the fatal mistake if starting on the fruitless path towards trying to buy them. 

    For the other people who have answered, you clearly don;t know what you are talking about. Sycophancy is sickening so pack it in. Brown nosing EA, how low can you stoop. Thousands upon thousands of people have the same experience so quit with the 'it's random', 'it's just bad luck' BS...
