What is with the Pathetic Drop Rates in this game

I know a lot of people exaggerate on the internet, but try to not go so far as to be 100% unbelievable. I'd believe if you hit 12 shards in one day but you didn't blow nearly 8000 crystals on just 12 shards.

Well now you learned your lesson.

You should have saved your money.. they’re gonna release packs for old ben and all the other toons needed. Drop rates are random. Sometimes you get a ton sometimes you get none. It’s nobodys fault haha

Eh, if it's anything like the pack offered last time it'll be a one-time purchase of 40 shards... Probably going to have to spend on refreshes if you want to get Old Ben in the next week.

Anyway, to the OP, the drop rate is roughly 33%. That doesn't mean if you do 15 you get 5, it means that if you do 15 the highest point on that bell curve is going to be at 5, but there's still a high possibility of getting something different. Because it's not 50%, the odds of getting 4 are significantly higher than the odds of getting 6.

You spent $60 in crystals and didn't get 12 shards?

That's what i though, how on earth do you only get 12 shards with 60 bucks in crystals? Practicallly impossible...

Nexy time, sim 4 battles, twice. If you get 0 shards, close the game and open it again. This alwauys helped me, got a lot better rng after.

think nic is right might just close my wallet to anything that has EA on it

I’ve had mixed drops. Trying to finish off Talia and am 0/15. However yesterday I was 10/15 on veteran Chewie. Go figure.

Because its not "Random Number Generator" it is "Selective Number Generator". RNG would mean you have an 'equal' chance of getting something. SNG means they put "specific" % chances on what you want/need that are lower than the stuff you end up getting that has a 98% chance of popping up.

In the case of characters, I think someone said there's a 33% chance in light/dark for shards to show up and in Cantina a 20/25% chance for drops? I wouldn't be surprised either way, but that is SNG at its finest. :P
