Whether it is rigged or not doesn't change the fact that the potential to do so is there. Lets be honest... If you wanted to rig the system you could... that's what programmers have access to if they so chose... I believe what Matt was referring to is the possibility of getting the nothing but blue sancs on heroes that are very high in sainting already, and the cost to remove them... It IS indeed possible for that to happen. All he did was suggest an alternate method for gem pricing in removing said saints, and point out his point of view... one that apparently a few people agree with, including myself.
There is no such thing as rigging the game. Whatever the developers do intentionally (bugs are unintentional) it is the way the game is supposed to work and therefore it is not rigged. Having said that there could be some misdirection if the instructions on the dame screen., like the percentage of success, is not in fact what the game is programmed to do. As far as the kind of sainting that you get, there is no 'published' odds or definition as to how the game does it, so whatever that is is what is supposed to be and not rigged.

In my opinion at least a general description of how the type of saint levels are chosen and the odds of getting a white, blue, purple, and gold, specially if the odds change as the level of saint increases, should be published as well as the effect of removing saints have on those odds. We should not have to try to figure out how it works by spending an unreasonable amount of Gems.
