My abysmal gear drop rate......
I'm not sure if it is because my roster has expanded so much in the last few months or if this is something devs are purposely trying to exploit for money, but the gear crunch has gotten out of control. We all know this and tbh I have found myself spending money on the game this year. I have decided to go ahead and make a thread outlining my gear farming woes. From now on each time I farm gear I will post the results below. This may get mundane but if I don't have a place to vent I might just give up entirely.....

Don't, just don't! I mean, no money. Why? They don't deserve it. Playing for 3 months and I'm playing for past time, don't wanna make a career in this or another mobile game, don't wanna have a better roster quicker, I just take things as they come. They don't deserve money imo because you get pixels on a screen for it, because if you ask a dev why from 60 cantina Sims you get 2 shards of even worse 0(zero) they will tell you it's bad luck ROFL, because the mechanics, skills are not explained sufficient enough for a game from such a huge company and are FULL of bugs, because because and so on. I've seen better help sections in noname games, much much better. Don't give them anything till they really deserve it.
0/30+ on MK3 holos this morning.
A bad drop rate is a bad drop rate for everyone. The people you're competing against for Arena spots have the same bad drop rate.
Except for the people that don't really see a bad drop rate.
A lot of them have a 100% drop rate.
This. Some of us were preselected to have great drop rates. Some are given better drop rates for being nice on the forums. #blessed.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

I personally have gone 0/20 on some runs and 12/20 on others. That is the way statistics with small sample sizes work... and all of us are operating under the same conditions.
This is why I'm making this thread. I'm not just going to post my bad days, I'm going to post every gear run from here on out. This will provide a sample of one player's gear drops for every new player to see.
Thanks captain obvious...
I don't really care about losing my girlfriends 3 months in either.....
Not what I was saying at all.
Ok, then if you don't really care, why come to the forum and complain about it? Nobody cares about the disastrous gear/shards drop rates, except for the players of course. If they cared, they would've built a system like in Hoda, where the drops are fair, or a system energy free.
Now, for every post complaining about drop rates, and I've seen quite a bunch since I visit this forum, there are a few thousand players behind it who don't complain, some of them ditch the game, others continue playing it and take it as it is, a game amongst other hundreds of mobile games. Complaining doesn't solve the issue, neither spending money on a system that's built exactly for grabbing money.
Maybe it's you who deserves your fate, till you learn to look at things with a critical eye.
I was promoted.
I'm Briggidier General Obvious now.
what's the incentive for the company to up the drop rate? if they do that, you spend less money.
once you spent some money, you've moved up your expectations as to how long you'll need to gear or complete a toon or a team. Now you're even more incentivized to keep up this new, higher, paid rate of max'ing a toon. Same psychology as why people rarely quit when they're on a winning streak 'cause they just assume it'll continue.
I'm not blaming you by any means, 'cause how you play the game doesn't affect anyone else. I'm just saying, no amount of posts about the low drop rate will change the game company's mind UNLESS everyone had the discipline to not spend on such atrocious drop rates
*salutes*
I think you missed my point entirely. Let me know if you need more help understanding....
I'm not doing this in an attempt to get ea to cage drop rates. I specifically said this is for newer players to get an idea of what the gear grind will be like at higher levels so they can adjust their gearing strategy. Had I known better when I first started I would not have wasted valuable gear or Talia or jc just to name a couple. You guys are projecting entirely too much
