Double drops = fun
I am enjoying the game so much more this weekend, and it's because of double drops. This drop rate should become the new normal. The "normal" drops are really, really frustrating, and ought to be retired.

- Well, 2 times zero is still zero. I did 144 energy (12x) on 6A and not only did I not get any of the reinforcement mats, I didn't even get any Barris shards from it. I'd prefer 100% drop over 2x bonus
- Yes...getting more free stuff is great lol.
Not sure anyone is going to argue against that. - Vétéran Han and Chewie 7 stars. God bless double drop !
- When it becomes the new "normal", it's horrible again. Just look at 100% droprate on mods, it was awesome at first, currently not so much anymore.
I do really lilke these double drop events though ! - Clickbait.
- I have been farming Sion... Probably did the node 40+ times, I have 8 shards to show for it. Simmed 13 times for Stun Cuffs, gained 2.
Personally, I can't wait for Double Drops to end so I can start getting stuff again... - Some guildmates and I were thinking, what if we had double drops more often? I know they wouldn't do it a lot, since it goes against money making, but what about every 31st day of the month. That would be 7 times a year! I know I spent over 2000 crystals this weekend on it. So.... How bout it @CG_Carrie ?

That’s a great idea!- Fatzke, you make a good point regarding the rate vs the result; I hadn't thought of it that way. However, seeing how disappointed some people have been by this weekend, I would agree that the best way to make the game experience better for everyone would be to increase the drop rate. I'm sure that CG follows some kind of metric that is supposed to keep spenders motivated to spend while at the same time giving them the minimum reward to keep them engaged. But metrics won't account for player frustration and fatigue over time, and I don't know if they are seriously considering that side of things, and the potential long-term impact not addressing it could have on the game.
- Shockingly, drop rates were exactly the same for me over this three day period as they were for any other period of time.
