Okay, I’ve thought of asking this many times before , after getting ANOTHER 16 spirit shards from the event I’ve had enough and now I’m asking the question. Is the drop rate heavily favoured towards getting NS spirit shards over Zombie shards? I ask because in my experience and many guildmates experience, we always get Spirit shards. I’ve done maybe 15 of those events and got Spirit shards 13 of those times, unlucky for some? Coincidence or design? How’s your drop rate been for Zombie from the event? And yes Zombie is on a single hard node, and yes I am farming her since it seems virtually impossible to get her shards from event. So is the drop rate heavily rigged towards getting Spirit shards, it can’t be a coincidence.

If you didnt track it for each event, then it's hard to know if it's just confirmation bias or actual data.It also isn't rigged, they could have different drop rates, there are many things in this game that have weighted drop rates.From the limited responses we have seen to just be RMG.

My experience mirrors a lot of others; way more spirit than zombie. Without a large enough sample size though its difficult to know for sure if it's bad luck and there is an equal chance for either to drop. There is no reason that it has to be equal though. And it really wouldnt suprise me if it started equal, but then after the game population had done the "beta testing" for them, they tweaked it to favour spirit given that zombie turned out to actually be useful.

Unequal drop rate between Zombie and Spirit event.

His statistics are that his spirit is further along than his zombie. One persons situation must equal universal truth.

But my Zombie is further along than my spirit. So apparently, the game only hates some of you. :D

I've gotten exactly 0 zombie shards across all attempts. Drop rate of spirit is 100%. The fact that others are pulling zombie is irrelevant.

I'm 99% sure this is parody, but it's so darn hard to tell in this place.

It's definitely skewed towards spirit, which doesn't surprise me since Zombie is so much better.

Or definitely not, which doesn't surprise me since maybe not.

No I just enjoy these threads the most. Hence my honest "awesome" reaction.

And what statistical analysis do you have to indicate poor participation?
