Anyone noticed the drop rate for items is worse?

I've noticed lately it looks like the drop rate for certain items has gone down, before I could get 4-6 and sometimes even 8 character shards, now I usually get 2 or no shards with the occasional 5 shards.

    Drop rate hasn't changed, you're just having a bad string of RNG. It will average itself out over time

  • This isn’t “data”. You haven’t told us what you’re farming or how many attempts you made. You also seem to be telling us your daily results, which are always going to vary. 

    Data is something like “out of 90 attempts I got 28 Deepa Bilaba shards”. If you track data properly and can demonstrate a statistically significant reduction from the expected 1/3 drop rate, then the community will listen. If all you post is vague recollections of your recent farming results, it’s just noise. 

    In 9 years using these forums I’ve never once seen anyone present what would constitute credible evidence that drop rates have been altered. Not once. I’ve seen over a hundred threads claiming they’ve been reduced, though. 

  • I track my farms and have noticed no change.  The only thing you noticed is that you've possibly hit a streak of bad RNG, and even that may not be true. Seen this post a hundred times before. Always vibes, feelings, "I've noticed", never any data.
