That's the problem in this game. Many people just running up and down mindlessness saying "It's RNG" or "confirmation bias" to justify everything.
It took me to fully level JE way longer than what was expected if the rate of apperance were 1/3. So, it's not RNG. It's like the type/shape of mods or the raid gear, not all have the same probability of drop. In this game some event probability is not random.

Just read this thread, almost every single guild store character is listed here as one that someone hasn't seen in forever. Obviously they can't all be missing lol

I'll add that I do seem to notice characters coming in "waves", where the same ones are around for a few days. I don't know if it's a real thing but if so it could explain what people are seeing.

Been noticing this as well.

I've read it. I just stated my experience with JE, which was very different from Rei or IGD, which rate was fairly normal (1/3).
As an example, raid gear: different people have different gear as more favorable drops. In my case is scanners, other people furnaces...
Is so difficult to believe that different accounts (for whatever reason) have different drop rates?
Does this differential drop rate among accounts apply to everything? In my experience, not to regular shards (or gear) in cantina/DS/LS.

I actually get him everyday, I never see Rey tho.

I'm sure it's RNG but this has been my experience.

Some guildies were complaining about how rare Jawa engineer is so I started using coins on him when he shows up and I've got him 12 times in one week. Meanwhile Rey who I actively want to get hardly shows up.

Completed are Dengar to 7* a few days ago, but for me he was the most rare to show in the shop

I found if your close to leveling that toon up they dont show up as often!

False, I was 10 shards away from getting him to 5 today and he showed up in back to back refreshes and the even the one after that. But I'm stopping at 5 stars for now since I just need the crit damage mods

Selective memory.

I've been trying to 7* Dengar for about 2 months and he's 4*. This is including a few paid refreshes and getting up to check when I really should be sleeping.

Picked up JE shards along the way but now he's ahead of Dengar.

I started farming JE and dengar at the exact same time. I finished dengar a month ago, and JE still stands at 20/100

Roll a die a thousand times and you'll see the same number come up in long sequences because there are only six possible results. There are half that many raid characters so you're going to see more frequent, even longer sequences.

When you have less than 400 guild currency you don't even look at the store, let alone spend crystals for refreshes, so you aren't seeing the data.

Finally, just to use my anecdotal experience, I was at 70/85 on JE yesterday when our raid ended and put me at ~1600 currency. Of the five shipments since then, four were JE.

When I was working on Dengar, Dengar was rare and JE was always there. Now that I have Dengar at 7*, JE is rare and Dengar is always there.
