Pretty Self explanatory. If you have a GL Tix farm active, the drop rates on Captain Rex (if you have an LS GL Ticket Farm active) or Princess Kneesaa (if you have an DS GL Ticket Farm active) are ridiculously broken (you get a lot more character shards) compared to no GL Ticket Farm.Examples below from a guild mateAdditionally I have 2 accts that reinforce thisAcct 1 - GL Tix for LV running whole time. Got 271 Shards of Princess Kneesaa with 9 refreshes for 3 days.Acct 2 - GL Tix for JTH running for 1 1/2 days. Got 155 Shards of Princess Kneesaa for 9 refreshes for 3 days. After the Tix farm finished here, the drop rates reduced signifigantly compared to acct 1with same energy spend, i could understand some variance to RNG (10-30 shards). but the difference is not 116 shards. There has to be another factor involved.Support tickets have been lodged by other players I know, and support have said we should post here and closed the ticket.How is it fair that people who have GL Ticket farms active get more shards? ThanksOrko

As for the issue set out by OP. This has also been noted on Reddit. So unlikely to be crazy RNG and indeed drops seem to be enhanced if farming GL tickets.

I suspect it's almost impossible to remove those extra shards, and almost equally impossible to give the shards.to those who got less.Perhaps give everyone 6 or even 7 star Rex and Kneesaa would be fair.

Thank you, Meathead!

I really appreciate the fast info. (Frankly even if you just jumped on to say it would take 2-3 days but you're looking at it and wouldn't be able to come to a conclusion until after the event, I still would have been fine with it. The communication is lovely and helpful.)

I'm sure they can track how many shards you got this week and when you had GL tickets farm active, if anything give those who don't have an active GL farm from that side get double the shards.
IE if you farmed rex with no lightside tickets and got 112 shards, you now get 224 shards.

If there is nothing out of the ordinary, how is this possible, 7 bonus shards in 5 battles. Happy for my guildmates. Because of this inequity, people were easily able to 7* Crex or Kneesaa which means additional opportunities at droid brains in cantina.

They never said the chances were tied to battles- it scales to the energy spent. For all we know, there was a higher % chance for energy spent than usual for this event, thus making it possible to get 7 shards in 5 battles

That makes no sense. The drop rate is tied to node energy cost, the drop quantity is limited to 1.
