Crippled Drop Rates?
Has anyone else noticed a drastic drop in the drop rates since they nerfed the farming ability? Just today alone I'm 2/40 combined between ls/ds ship nodes. It's getting ridiculous and makes me want...

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 off, I put 11% because I didn’t feel like putting the 11.52whatever that it calculated out to. Second, you don’t get to continue shifting the goal posts and changing the required time someone should record data. 3 weeks is sufficient time to calculate an average, sorry if you don’t like that. Third, lowering the drop rate of a critical character at a critical time has the intention of pressuring players to spend money. Raising drop rates during non critical times or of non-critical players so that everything averages out in the long run is not balanced RNG, it is predatory development. EA is a predatory company that uses predatory tactics and has 100% earned their title of Worst Company in America (two years in a row by the way). So hem and haw and deny all you want. You and the handful of others who feel like reality denial is a solution to problems won’t change the fact that things are what they are.
