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...

Common sense dictates they are not going to individually set your drop rate at 10% one day and 40% the next day.
Great post, I only have one problem with it - the sentense I qouted.
Firstly, common sense is not very common, but that's not the point. The point is - it's an assumption you simply can not make.
Logic dictates the opposite: Dynamic droprates can potentially increase revenue, therefore we should assume dynamic droprates are being used.
For example:
1. Identify most needed item - carbanti - needed 438
2. Reduce drop rate on carbanti by 30%
3. Increase occurance rate of carbanti in shipments by 500%
4. Increase drop rates on other items to compensate.
5. Profit
You can call it a misnomer if you want but common sense refers to rational thinking.
The above example doesn't even hold up in my case and I really wish it did. I check the store 3 times a day looking for furnaces, projectors and cuffs and buy every single one of them. Just stuff I don't need or have already.
Second their model already has ways to throttle progress.
Third, a dev on reddit (they post more there for some reason) specifically stated a long time ago drop rates were entered in by hand individually, mean hardcoded but doesn't mean there aren't unintended errors.
There's a lot more points but I think your mind is set.
