Ok, so so have failed 3 times...out of 100 people who try to upgrade, that means that 28 will fail. No one is arguing the fact that it sucks for you to have had all three of your attempts in that 28 who fail. I am curious to know why you think that those success rates a specific to you and not overall odds applicable to your entire server?

P.s. I have used 12 stars trying to get my Saffron to 3 stars, so while this might not happen to everyone, and statistically it can't, you are not alone, so don't assume you are.
