Shard Drop Rates

Question

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I'm so disappointed in the drop rates for shards and gear in this game. I just blew through two Cantina refreshes and received a grand total of "0" shards. I'm not exactly sure what the current rates are, and have never grabbed more than 5 shards in a single refresh, but to get none is just beyond cheap by the developers.

Anyway, I don't normally complain about such things, and I love the in-game experience, but for a game that demands so much time (and potentially money) out of its fan base, it could easily be more accommodating. This has happened a few times, and maybe I'm just terribly unlucky. Let me know if there are any other players that can empathize. Not looking for a dramatic overhaul, but IMO this is bad form by EA.

I fear no official acknowledgement of drop rates is ever forthcoming, so it really is a matter of putting up with it or finding another game. I switched to F2p so I don't mind that poor drop rate as I know it's a free game for me now.

It's been a frustration for players from day one and sadly never really changed

Think of it this way: you HAVE to spend 600 energy to do your part with guild coins.  So, if u get something out of it - Great!  That's the most glass-half-full advice I can offer.

Great points all around. I think I'm just frustrated because I'm at a weird part of the game. Level 85, 21 7-star toons at gear 8-10, but I'm in a rut on GW, and my Arena team always has to work hard to get back to top 100. I easily lose 150+ spots every day (I've heard that the GW difficulty is based on your arena team, so I'm exposed there).

Specifically trying to get shards to 7-star Finn and RT so I can complete my resistance team and grab those 5 star speed mods.

It's funny to see another poster mention stun cuffs. Gear is a whole other animal. And I've already conceded the fact that it will either take a ton of money (or as I'm F2P, time) to get my toons up to 10-11 across the board.

CG should do this

Whoever is designing this game is sucking most of the fun out of it.

Mods....a complete waste of time?
