"Double" drops should have an asterisk next to it!

I’m convinced they do. I’ve refreshed hold and blue energy 6 time each last three days, and had the worst drop rates..... i posted about this last time we had double rates, and people just trolled that I was dumb.... glad others are seeing that I’m not making it up. When they double the drop rewards, I think they drop the reward rate by at least half.

@Waqui Don’t everyone say it though, good or bad.

No, not everyone is saying, that something is going on with drop rates during double drops. For everyone saying it there are many, many more saying that it's wrong. According to your line of thinking, this proves, that nothing is going on.

It’s not like there are 3+ months of screenshots that show what a player got when they simmed. It’s always a single time that’s screenshot, everything else is whatever number someone selected and posted

3 months of random data would be no good in this case. Data from 3 months of normal drops compared to data from 3 months of double drops could be worth something.

I guess my client is different than yours, then. My drop rates were fine so far this weekend.

Average drop rate may be the same, but getting 0 out of 40 sims still... disappointing. The player who got zero doesn't care about "average droprate", he just looks at "double props" announcement and zero and smashes his phone against the wall. :) The point of double drop actions is to reward players, not frustrate those who got unlucky, and there should be many unlucky people among playerbase just due to probability laws. Devs changed zeta drops because of that, maybe eventually we will see less rangefest in other activities as well (at least at actions time).

New laws for gambling games hopefully mean that double will mean double for everyone. Until then double means maybe more maybe less.

It already is double drops for everyone.

Fine for me too this morning so far:

This isn't including the 0 for 20 i got on my other account. 8/20 is the best i've seen this whole time. Which is technically 4/20 and still a crap drop rate but that's supposed to be the low end of normal drops.

Not that it correlates with the double drops, but also have received 1 shard for 20 sims so far today... so just another reason to think all the drop rates have decreased as i've yet to receive a 2/5 drop on any character since the event started

We’ve never had double rates, just double rewards.
