Percentages are Wrong in the game

So I entered a ticket for an issue I was seeing with how percentages are being displayed when it comes to pick pocketing. If you eye is closed and you have an 80% chance to pick pocket its more like a 10% chance. I was caught 9 out of 10 times in a row when its 80%. When its 50% its more like a 1% chance of actually pick pocketing out of 20 people I was caught 20 times! You would think that a 50% chance 10 out of 20 would be the outcome. Nope!

When running any dungeon you have percentage of chance to get something worth while. But when your max capped on CP 99% of the stuff they give is either nothing anyone uses or its prosperous or training.

Last night I ended up trying to improve an axe that took me 5 months to farm for. When I attempted to improve it at 100% it was destroyed!!!!! 100% means 100% of the time not 99% not 1%!

This is either a percentage thing or the Devs giving the finger to me! Well the axe being destroyed at 100% probability of succeeding may have been the last straw for me. Farming for 5 months to not get it to drop then the game taking away that one piece is a total crock of ****. Fix your percentage calculations or I am through!

    Oh and one other thing. Your auto replys by your system should not be happening! Sending me a BS message stating to submit a ticket when that was what I initially did is more of a go **** yourself move then addressing the actual issues. Maybe if you actually fixed the stuff you broke instead of breaking it every time you patch the system I would not have to open tickets!

    You may want to send them a ticket specifically and only about that. That definitely is not intended, and mentioning only that in the ticket makes it more likely they'll give you the item back.

    I have opened up numerous tickets about stuff like this only to get an automated reply instantly after submitting the ticket. They do not seem to care about in game issues at least from my experiences with them!

    RE: Pickpocketing

    I was getting caught all the time with 80% chance. I then plugged in all the relevant passives related to pickpocketing and bam, can pickpocket almost all the time now without getting caught.

    So your just proving that 80% really doesnt mean 80% without passives! :)

    So they have been displaying the WRONG percents!
