Well duh-doy, of course 100% drop rate is better... The regular drop rate is 33% (or thereabouts) so double drops should lead to an expected value of 66% drop rate.

Saying you’d rather have a 100% drop rate is a tautology. It’s like saying, “Double drops are okay, but you know what’s better? Triple drops.”

And there will still be some complains :-)

“Thanks for the triple drops, but why aren’t they quadruple?”

4 * 0 = 0
why can't we have double drops with a 100% droprate instead?

67 sims, 44 shards (22 / 67) ~33%

Oh man, I can quote myself too. I'd built in a concession in days... in my side remark... You know, but like to spell it out

I am usually getting around 15 a day with 5 refreshes. Today with double drop 32 shards... so normal 30% drop change for me.

I.e. with this guy would guarantee like 45 shards in one day - rather then a chance at 64 shards over two days which one might or might not get.
It's okay, I know, I'm the one who can't read though.

i can't read, apologies @PremierVenoth

Multiple ppl in my guild doing three refreshes of cantina and getting 0 shards on vets. No way thts possible even with worst rng. Possible glitch?anyone else seeing this in ur guild?

Multiple people n my guild doin 3x refreshes an getting 0 shards. Even worst rng shouldn’t have tht bad of drop anyone else seeing this in ur guild

Yes in my guild me and some folks spend 300 crystals for 2 shards,it’s like the possibility it’s lower than before don’t know maybe the rng is bad for us.

Yup. Same. Zero everything today. Not just double drops. Done for the day.

I was farming vet Han last month. Got 2-8 shards a day. On double drop days for the anniversary I got 2.

Now I'm farming vet Chewie. Was averaging 4-6 a day. Today I got 6.

Just saying: don't waste gems on double drop days, don't buy extra gems, just farm as normal. 2x drops is no more meaningful than the sexy Twi'lek which pops up to offer you the same deal on gems you can get by navigating to the resource screen.
