Crippled Drop Rates?

Can't find anything from USA Today for 2017, nevermind 2016, that might support your two years in a row claim. Making things up really doesn't strengthen any argument you're trying to make. And in addition to doing nothing for your argument, it opens you up to straw man attacks (which are already way too numerous in these forums).

It’s not my fault you’re too lazy to do a google search.

I can play that game too.

I did a Google search. Nothing came up. Therefore you're clearly to lazy to do proper research and are using information from 6 years ago. This makes me believe that you're to lazy to properly track stats too and are just throwing around numbers that support how you "feel" your experience is going.

What kind of **** looks at hundreds of people making the same claim and discredits every one of them in favor of a handful of people that claim they have tracked it? Your denial is strong.

Hundreds of people in a game with a six or seven figure playerbase, for a game that's been around for over three years.

Part of true randomness is, if you roll enough, unlikely events will happen. If there are a million players, odds are somebody is having that one in a million improbably bad week. Guess who's more likely to post about it?

Anecdotes are not evidence. Especially since frustration warps memory. You tend to round down in your head a lot when you're frustrated at a streak and thinking back.

Keep in mind that, pure math, with a 1/3 chance to get a shard and 5 attempts, it comes out to about a 50/50 chance of getting 0 or 1 shards. And about another 1/3 chance of 2 shards, with the remaining 1/6 being 3 or more. Getting 0 or 1 shards is just losing a coin toss.

You're trying to force a conspiracy narrative when all that's happening is normal.

Given you can’t string together a logica thought, it makes sense you can’t google either. So here http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Ea+worst+company+in+america go ahead and click and feel free to browse any of the many articles that discuss ea being a shit company. I’m done with you now, I don’t have the energy anymore to explain basic thought process to someone too ignorant to learn.

:D

Thanks for proving my point. None of the top 5 are in the last 3 years. And the ones that are more recent talk about EA being "among the most hated". Nothing about two years running or whatever you claimed. Stick with your made up facts. You're great with them.

On topic: I had 4/5 drops today and yesterday. Clearly drop rates have been buffed.
