Now that Outrider’s done, the consensus was that it was 3%, right?

Any chance we can hunt for an answer more before Kyle’s ship shows up?

You know it's 3%. What other relevant answer do you want.

Why was it changed from 4% to 3%? Why has this not been addressed? Will they stealth change the rates again?

I said "relevant" question. We all know you want to know why, but it's not relevant to the game since we already know it had been changed.

How is it not relevant? So instead of having an established 4% drop rate for cantina chases and 2% rate for fleet node chases we need to wonder what each ones drop rate is?

I think it’s completely relevant to know what an event’s drop rate is so we can make decisions on how much we want to spend in terms of in game and real life resources.

because they don't want to address it

and its best if they don't address it

So you think it’s ok that after having established drop rates that they just decided they can change the drop rates to whatever they want per event, without any notice, for whatever reason they choose? You think that’s best? Lmao ok

I'm not personally wondering what the next drop rate is. I'm comfortable assuming it's 3% now, until it isn't. They could come put and say, "yep it's 3%" but that will not change anything I do one little bit.

The reason for why the change is completely irrelevant to game play.

So you’re then ok with the precedent this sets? you assume 3% for the next chase but then they change it to 1%? No notice, no announcement, they change it. Then back to 4%. Then back to 2%….see how that’s a bad thing?

Heck let’s say they decide to change the rates of gear farming too. They could drop it down to 15% right before a GL release then change it back after it’s been out for awhile. Bad precedent and devalues the in game economy.

They should be telling us of any changes to established drop rates. Plain and simple. We already know they changed it. Now we need to know why, and why they’ve been silent this whole time. It’s not best just to “leave it be” or “accept it”. That’s trash.

That's a lot of assumptions. It was changed once, and everyone is aware. If it were to change more often, I'd agree That's a big issue. As of now, that's not the case

It was changed once, and everyone is aware, and absolutely nothing is happening about it. So what exactly is stopping them from changing something else?

What do you mean "nothing has happened about it?" What needs to happen? Nothing. It was changed. We know it was changed. There's no reason to assume it will change again.

I already agreed that I if it became a regular thing, it would be a problem. Until that happens, it is what it is.

I mean that nothing has happened. No explanation or acknowlegement of a fundamental, detrimental change to the game.

Answer me this, what exactly is stopping CG from changing it again? The ideology that sure, we’ll let it slide with absolutely no actions or consequences this time, but if it happens again, that’s when we’ll do something? Because that doesn’t have a great track record.

I guess because they can change it any dang time they want, so just be glad they don't?

What acknowledgement do you want? We know, they know we know, we know they know we know.... do you so desperately need affirmation from an official source that says "yep, it changed"?

I don't need that. It would change nothing. Even if they did, the next question would naturally follow as to why. They clearly have made a councious decision to not tell us and no amount of bellyaching is going to change that.

How am I supposed to be glad they’re not doing it when they very clearly are doing it?

Yes, I want an offical source to say that it changed, and why. Because there are multiple explanations. There’s just one very obvious one that their refusal to communicate strongly implies.

I don’t want this to happen again. Which means I need to put my foot down now, here, and not later when it does happen again.

It's good to want things.

They aren't "doing" anything. Doing is the present progressive tense of the word being It's ongoing. It is not. It "happened" and now it's over.

They clearly don't want to tell us why it was changed. Want, hope, pray all you want. Won't change anything.
