So I tracked 2,000 drops
The purpose was to get an idea of their model and figure out what was the best way to obtain the infinite amount of gear required. It wasn't really to find out what their exact "drop rate" is. If y...

I've gotten some results that strongly support that there ARE differences in drop rates. My guildmate, DarkChaplain, did some runs on JKA that support the 30% you found (47/162). But I've done 352 TFP runs and 242 RG runs at a higher drop rate of 35.7%.
What is interesting is that the difference between my TFP/RG runs and your data is statistically significant (P=0.03, and if I throw in the JKA data P=0.02). I would love to see your data by toon to compare. In particular, it would be interesting to compare your TFP numbers to mine.
And it could be that something else is driving this. Perhaps they make the drop rates lower as you go up in level? Or as you get more maxed toons? Maybe EA just likes me?
I would say your sample is not big enough. This is the main problem of statistics of such random things - in games devs usually do not use best RNGs and it results in non-uniform distribution in a relative small samples. In this case I would say that you need 1000+ runs to approach the average.
P.S. Time to make some notes that will allow then to collect stat from different players
