Exactly. The thread related to the fountain says it’s drop is about 1 in 5. My experience was a lot more like 1 in 42. At 1 in 5 it’s a reasonable play to drop some token’s on it for the tokens coming back long term. At a large multiple of that, it’s a rip off.
I’d say at this payout rate, the fountain doesn’t really do what the guides say it will do.
I don’t know that the forum is giving wrong information, but maybe the programming team is forgetting to program in some stuff. ( Like forgetting to turn drops on for the Arcane Arboretum and some other prizes that have come through).
