Yes, yes and yes. Of course what you are saying is true and because of the nature any internet argument or discussion we can all google theories on statistics, formulas, etc. and post it up. I'm not even suggesting that you even need google to come up with what is common sense. I mean TVF's statement of sample size is the single most important factor and I get and understand that.
Let's also ignore the fact that from a monetary point of view it is in their best interest to tune down the drop rate a bit. Ignoring all logic, facts, sample size and drop rates I'll just say it's not fun. If it's not the drop rate then whatever. I can't describe then why this particular grind is what gets me more than any other. I mean shoretrooper is no picnic. I don't have him 7 star yet and am grinding away on him, but he doens't bother me nearly as much and I'll keep at it. For whatever reason the JTR grind grinds my gears. Don't have 7 star Chimera yet. It's been a slow process, but no worries from me. I'll keep at it. Thrawn didn't break a sweat. Plugged away at Pheonix and yay. CLS same. Palp, BB8, R2D2, Yoda. Keep em coming. JTR however I despise. So let's leave it at that. My own decision for sure, and maybe while it flies in the face of logic I do not have the empirical data to be able to see the drop tables so I am calling fowl because it makes me feel better and I can move on from her and enjoy the rest of the game. Prove me wrong, but without seeing the code behind it I'll still hold out that the drops are tuned even if by 0.00000001%.
