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...

@Kal_Sarkon just because you found statistically significant marginal differences doesn't mean those differences actually exist. Especially as you're testing for lots of different variables, p < 0.05 starts to mean less and less then.
Compound that with the fact that pseudoRNG is not completely random, and if you start looking at variance in small sample sizes (like your 1/6 test for holo projectors), there's a good chance something somewhere will look significant when it's really just noise. Unfortunately to distinguish such nuances, you need a lot more data. So for that purpose, it'd be great if all 3 of you could pool your raw data, and preferrably somewhere other people could add theirs too (might need access control to prevent trolls from adding fake data).
