I’ve had a roughly 11% drop rate for the month of april on cantina. So far that’s 19 days worth of data. You telling me I’m going to make up the other 19% in 11 days.

No, because a single month by 1 person is not a significant sample size.

And. "roughly" is not tracking. At best its guestimating. When I say tracking, I mean individuals or guilds who have used spreadsheets to record every attempt and result for months. And it always comes to 30-33%. For 3+ years. Every. Time.

No, CG didn't suddenly nerf drop rates. No, CG doesn't secretly hate you. No CG doesn't change drop rates when events are going on. Actual recorded data has proven that repeatedly. CG has also stated as such.

For those who still want to argue based on extremely limited, anecdotal "evidence", please at least learn what variance is and understand what constitutes a significant sample size. Some of you would make horrible scientists and even worse mathematicians.

First of all, when I say roughly, I mean I don’t feel like putting the 11.52% that I calculated it too. Secondly, you don’t get to shift the goalposts and change around the requirements of the data so that you are satisfied. 3 weeks of data is a good range for determining an average, sorry if you don’t feel like accepting that. Dropping the rates during critical points to push players to spend money, then raising the drop rates in off seasons or on useless characters is not balanced RNG, that is predatory tactics. EA is a predatory company that uses predatory tactics. You and a handful of others denying that doesn’t change facts. Get over it and stop trying to beat people down by claiming reality isn’t what it is.

Your right - despite not providing any actual data or understanding sample size, variance, confidence factors or anything about that which you are complaining. :D

I give up. Hope the tinfoil hat fits well.
