Had the team check, there is nothing out of the ordinary

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.

How do you know that? Did they say that for this specific event? They said they looked into it and nothing is wrong. Maybe for each 1 energy spent there is 10% chance for a shard (or any other percentage), giving you the possibility of obtaining multiple shards for each "pull" of a 10 energy node. The point is we don't know the mechanics behind this specific event, and there's no way to say for sure it isn't different than past events. Maybe they wanted people to unlock these 2 toons quickly? who knows

Look, I always grant that CG can do whatever it wants, but there has been zero indication that they have changed the super basic way that drops have always worked in this game for this one specific event.

What we do know, without a doubt, is that the drop quantities are listed on the node and there are varying drop rates for those quantities. If it says 1 drop, there is a 0% chance that you will get more than that per attempt. It's just how the game has always worked. If you want to make something up to account for the fact that people doing GL farms were getting extra drops and not a single person not doing a GL farm got extra drops, then sure.
