Except the drop rate is half of that, because you are only getting one card. The rate for that one card may be the same, sure, but the chance at getting the Raid Boss card for fighting that fight is halved.
I've been lucky and haven't had mistervista's frustrations, but I empathize with them. My frustration is that I'm literally only interested in Echidnas. I have two in my primary team that I am hoping to skill up. The Serpent Emperor means nothing to me. So I grind up a raid boss, and it's the Serpent. I have to either wait three hours, or kill the serpent, then wait an hour. I grind up another raid boss, and its another Serpent. I've earned something like 45 or 50 Serpents, and maybe half a dozen Echidnas. Granted, the Serpent's been around a month longer, and maybe when it cycles out I'll be able to get what I'm looking for, but again, it's just an aspect of your game that is based around far too much random chance. It's a slot machine game; I get it. That doesn't mean that every single aspect of your game needs a random element and a low success rate.
A big part of the reason your Event Recruits are so popular, over and above them being good cards, is that people know what they are getting. Sure, I could buy and spend gems to reduce the countdown of the raid bosses, but for what? So that another Serpent I don't want will come up next? And even if an Echidna DOES come up, so what? It's still a less than even chance that I'll get a card I want out of it. It's just not worth the money. Maybe if people knew what they were buying, they might be more willing to buy it.
