A while ago the guildshop was changed. The first day after the change i had a decent card and i thought it might have been better with the bigger chance, but for me the chances seems to got down. Because after that decent card nothing, i think it must be over 7 weeks that i purchased a non dragon card from the guildshop. In my guild i hear the others are doing well, so i am really started to get fed up with this. Am i the onky one or ar there more people who only get 2 or 3 star cards and material in the guildshop.

I would strongly recommend to read next article - "What does randomness look like"
It explains that long streaks of nothing are best proof that guild shop is indeed random.

Even you say - "In my guild i hear the others are doing well", it means that you think that PM lowered rates from shop only for you?)
Nope, it's just unlucky situation. I also had 2 month of empty shop and then 2 Zeus in 3 days.
Don't look at shop as card source. See it as rare bonus that sometime give cards, but mostly give nothing.

This is illusion based on fact that people will post about getting something and not posting about empty shop.

Go to the casino, slots machine section) You will hear that everyone around you will get coins but as you play you will loose every time.
That's because when you win - sound of falling coins very loud and it create illusion that every one around is winning) But hundreds of people that loosing their money are silent.

I have same situation in Diablo 3 - when you play in party of 4 people, you will think that they get more legendaries than you.
But this illusion can be easily dispelled if you all in same guild and you count number of legs that each of you get in guild log.

I have nothing against randomness. But if you dont get anything for 2 months, that makes this game very boring. There is only randomness in this game. I think this will be the end for me. How else do i get new cards. Tried the gem recruit again, 3 dancing girls, a succubus and more other crap like 4 star dragons. Really fed up with this game, a waste of time if tou aak me.

While I agree with the most of what you said but ...

Many people including myself and almost half of the people in our guild got Zeus in that period!

This exactly shows that they increased the drop rate of Zeus for that period of time. This is called manipulation not randomness...

Hi Mefa, we did not increase the drop rate of Zeus for any period of time. The only change is that the adding of a batch of high rarity cards into Guild Shop long time ago boosts the appear rate of good cards slightly.
