i think the tavern has changed, even tho at this point i already assume the answer is no. i am however still convinced that something changed about the spawn rate. over the past 6 months i noted down (some of it is documented in the forums) of what i got.
now i dont need to show again what i got in the past, but last tuesday i spun 170m and got 0 gold and 0 purple (spirits right on the same average). this tuesday (collected less coz since the big blowout i didnt care anymore and skipped a few ladies) i had collected 98m only and guess what: 0 gold and 0 purple again. you getting 2 top golds is nice, it could have been 2 dawn, but its still better than nothing, i got nothing now twice in a row!
