I agree, they all should have equal drop rates. My biggest guess about why triangles are so rare is because they’re the only mods that have the valuable crit damage/chance primaries.
It made a lot more sense back then when mods were first introduced, where we had about 100 characters and mods weren't very important in their primaries and secondaries, and there wasn't any slicing
Even with a 3% drop rate, we also had 3 dot and 4 dot drops
Now it feels like an unnecessary bottleneck, especially when you can get triangles consistently from the mod store, just like any other shapes
Also, back then the only game mode we had for mods was Squad Arena, so you needed 5 good triangle mods to be set
With ~200 characters, and multiple game modes where you can't move the same mods over everytime you use a toon -- you need a lot of triangles now
Also, it hurts newer players since they need a lot of triangles than veteran players and the drop rates are abysmal for them still
When mods were first introduced, speed arrows, and CD triangles were the best primaries in the game which is another reason why I think triangles were super rare to get

I think all mod shapes should be 1/6 drop rate
Why?
Rarity advantages those who play the odds.

It's related to the device used to find the Malachor, the Holocron. You know that little pyramidal thing and how rare it was. Only 2 of them I think.
