Drop rates

They won't...you just have pay the crystals to refresh.

That's the thing, even when I refresh them it feels like in those 10 sims I am getting half of the shards I got when it was 8. They must have changed the drop rates. It is awful.

I've found it easier to focus on more simultaneous farms, rather than a single focus. The lowered attempts work well enough if you spread the focus.

I misread. You're talking about drop rates, not the number of sims itself. It always sucks to go through bad luck with drops, but at least for me it's not been much different drop wise.

Idk. I was spreading it around, but if I keep doing that it'll be 2020 before I get Revan

Well..that's why they dropped the tries...so you have to pay crystals to focus on specific toons. You can spread it around but you will not get the top characters for a while.

Whatever you think my friend.
I have a spreadsheet tracking my drop rates since I started the game (hence as far as I can remember).
It used to be between 30-35%, give or take 0.5%-1% discrepancy (hence roughly).
However, drop rates decreased drastically since the update for DR. Unless I'm wrong, the game was updated right when DR event started.
Again, I have been having 10% drop rate for Carth this week (1 shard per day doing 10 attempts), but it might just be me having a bad streak for 8 weeks straight now.
Of course CG wouldn't even try messing up with the community... oh wait... ?

over the past week...drop has been around 15% for me.

Here's your problem. One week isn't long enough of a test.

It is a long enough data set, seeing as how they have only given a weeks notice to events in some cases. So realistically you should be able to farm a toon to 33% drop rate consistantly in a week without having to spend ridiculous amounts of money.

That reasoning is literally insane. If you could farm toons in a week, we'd burn out of content real quick. And you are not entitled to every new event character the first time around.

Yes, if you start farming when the event is announced, you will not get the event toon the first time. And that is fine. Get them next time. They are under no obligation to give you months of advanced warning.

No it shouldnt take a week to get a toon but if you pull your averages from drops over one week they should reflect more closely to the 33% they claim, and not 10% drop rates. If you take data from 10 weeks. Average each week out individually, then use all ten weeks individual averages for 1 avg. drop, rate in that sence. A week is surely enough time to pull a data set.
