Okay, FIRST, let me say that having these odds available so that we can make informed decisions about what we're purchasing is a VERY VERY GOOD THING™. Whatever decisions you make may or may not be attractive to players (and good for the game) but they are "fair" since they apply to all players equally.
The caveat is that assumes honestly representing your decisions. I've said on these forums that I dislike listing 10 or 15 or more outcomes as "possible" drops when the average or modal drop is drastically less than what it might appear from such a listing. I expect weighting, but since we don't know how much weighting, having 1 possibility be 35%+ of the drops would seem against the spirit if listing that particular possibility equally with 14 or more other possibilities.
Providing the link to accurate information is the cure for this. I would praise you anyway, but I feel a particular duty to praise y'all for making this change since I've criticized the opposite policy in the past.
But SECOND
Let me say that having you, @CG_Carrie, active in this thread having actual back-and-forth conversations is both important and good to see. Although this is far from the first time it's happened, I'd really like to see you or other folks from CG/EA more active on the forums.
But this doesn't mean that I'm insisting you release premature information subject to change or information that you just don't think you want to release yet. This response:
is absolutely perfect. This shows some actual knowledge of and appreciation for Star Wars-gaming flavored humor. We get it that sometimes the answer to a request, even a request for information, is, "No." But it's still important to see that CG/EA is actually reading the requests and delivering an answer.
So praise all around, but especially for CG_Carrie. Make sure that they give you a raise, CG_Carrie, and if you're in the US, make darn sure they're giving you health insurance that covers unanticipated organ harvesting. That US health insurance can be bantha poodoo.

3. If you ask me one more time, that tach gland won't be the only freshly-harvested organ around here.
