Why would you blindly trust that everything CG posts is working as intended

Found the conspiracy theorist.

Is it a conspiracy theory when we know the track record of EA?

Yes it is. This was the first time ever they announced drop rates. People had suspicions about drop rates before, actually you can see a post about it every week. Yet any long term tracker kept finding the same results. You can throughly research this topic on reddit if you are interested.

I mean, they did bait and switch with the ship energy pack. Waited until after the event started to tell us we could only by the energy pack once instead of once per day as originally stated.

Thus we should hyperbole everything into the idea that they are lying? Do they have anything to gain from lying about droprates? They are smart enough to know many players will track the rates in a game where millions of nerds play. Mistakes and lying are two very different things. You can condemn them all you want for the constant mistakes they keep doing.

No, but you just have to realize that you must take everything they say with a grain of salt. They have gone back on the things they say often enough that it is within the realm of possibility that they will edit the post today with different drop rates than initially stated.

It's all well and good to differentiate between lies and mistakes, but then all they have to do is say it was mistake to list them at 4% per energy instead of 2% per energy.

There's taking what they say with a grain of salt and there's asking the unprovable even before the event started in your timezone.
There's no indication whatsoever that they lied or made a mistake.
Do you really feel like ea/cg screwed up so much that it justifies asking if they screwed up even if there isn't any indication they did? That's one heck of a level of distrust imo, borderline paranoia.
i mean, i wouldn't be suprised if they screwed up, but assuming they did before hand is an entirely different thing. What's the point in reading the forum if you're not going to trust anything the devs say anyway?

No, there was some hyperbole in my statement as well. I have no reason to think the drop rates aren't what they say, outside of the fact that the things they say are often wrong. From the screenshots I've seen, they are about as close to the stated 4% as you can expect, though.
