We still don't know if the re-rolls have odds behind them.

We do know for the mechanics (Levels 3, 6, 9). They admitted they were weighted in the Q&A. Nobody read it.

So from that, assume the best mechanics will not drop as often as the crap ones.

Once you are on that page, its a slippery slope on what else is weighted in this game.....

Shard drops, gear drops etc pretty much anything could fall under the guise of server side weighting logic.

As self stated, this is a slippery slope argument. No, once you know that one thing is weighted, it doesn't automatically mean anything else is weighted, especially given that those other things are well sampled by community to show no such thing.

If you believe that only Datacrons are weighted, I think you are providing the benefit of the doubt where it not earned, nor deserved. I'm not that gullible. The only reason probabilities were listed on packs was it was a legal requirement. Datacrons have people spending in game resources and money for those resources. Where are the probabilities for Datacrons? Where is a response from CG, clearly stating the "odds" for each different aspect of the game? Blind trust is something nobody should employ.

I don't believe anything in particular. I work on evidence and evidence collected by the community in incredibly large samples is there, just waiting for you to search for it instead of preemptively believing something ;)

And it's well documented that every drop has a weighted percentage of appearing, so I'm not sure what you're arguing.

Not sure what you mean by weighted. Gear/shards drops are a flat percentage. Weighted means out of numerous options, some of them would have different percentages. Like in mods speed rolling less than other stats. Or in other cases weighted can mean the rates dynamically change depending on where you are. Do you think things like that are happening?

Only other that I know that's weighted is value intervals of the mods. i.e. +3,+4,+5,+6 speed has different chances of rolling.

Weighted means not equal chances. All the drops are weighted by class of item, shards, gear types, etc. They are not individually weighted (e.g. Admiral Raddus shards drop at the same rate as 50R-T, but are at a different rate than the gear types on their nodes), except in packs.
