Just FYI while you're planning. In case you didn't notice, CG lowered the Chase drop rate in Cantina from 4% to 3% without notice. If you want a 5* ship from a Chase, you now have to spend the 400 refreshes. Plan accordingly.

The observed drop rate is 3%. The announced drop rate is 4%.

This can’t go unaddressedWe weren't told because they either don't care, or they did it on accident and didn't notice. Either way, don't expect a response. I would be shocked if we ever get a response, given how little they care about customer experience these days.

I know that they see these posts and if they allow this to go unanswered it’s beyond shameful on their end."Beyond shameful" is not new to them. I don't expect them to care.

I'm just surprised no one has been slapped in the face yet. :wink:

PSA: Chase drop rates have been lowered

seems very obvious by now that those that might want to say why are not allowed to say why

And this is unacceptable, declaring that kind of information we are asking for as confidential. If we can not rely on drop rates than we cannot rely on the value we get for money we spend into the game.

So if it’s not acceptable then you shouldn’t just allow it to happen or be ok with it.

lol what am i gonna do thats gonna change it

we know they dropped the rate

we know now they are not going to address it

nothing posted here matters

As I see it, people have 2 options if something is happening they don't like.

1. Remain silent and let it continue
2. Voice your opinion, even if it has a slim chance of being heard, as to at least try and change something and set a sign that you are not ok with it.

In the end, you don't lose anything if you try. You only can gain something.

You might get locked out, arrested or banned if you annoy the powerful people.

I just deleted what I wrote, because there is so much going on in the world at the moment that has people in the sad situation to make choices like these every single day.
Every one of us can be happy, if we are not faced with trying to figure out what to do, when it comes to fight for your freedom and risk being killed or thrown in jail or to remain silent but knowing your loved ones are at least more safe to a degree.
One can argue now about so many factors and get philosophical, or what they consider "right" or "wrong". But I really do not want to derail this post with all that, considering we are lucky enough to be "just" in a game forum.

I don’t understand the hate against Ultra? The only one who’s actually talking to us and being honest. CG is rotten at communication and transparency as always. But Ultra is the only one actually going above and beyond.

First of, hating ultra is a bit of an overreaction. She does not deserve it. Detest, contempt, despise, those might be okay depending on your temper but hate is a bit too much.

Second, define honest. If it is telling the truth, the whole truth and only the truth then she is not even close to honest. If you use alternative definitions it might work differently for you.

Third, lets compare CG just for the sake of the argument to a tyranny. No transparency, the hierarchy of power is corrupt, and a chosen few can abuse their power without consequences.
We have seen regimes like this in the past, and there are a couple more of them in our present as well. While it is true that openly rebelling might cost you your life, so it is kind of okay to remain silent, they can never force you to cooperate. That is your choice. To voluntarily do a job for them that you are not forced to do and thus keep the regime running is always on the individual and not on the system.

If you hate the regime enough you might start hating on the people who are operating it, but again, that is shortsighted reaction.

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.

because they don't want to address it

and its best if they don't address it

How is it best? “You can’t handle the truth” kind of best?

It’s a terrible precedent.

Personal opinion

They have unaddressed other things in the past, so its not like this will be a new precedent

How does ignoring things in the past make it ok to ignore other things in the future?
