I have done nothing but farm for old republic since Revan came out. And it seems to me that the stops have gotten less and less. Example: I simmed 10 battles for zaalbar, got 2 shards. Previously simmed a total of 7 and got ZERO! They are getting greedy wanting people to spend more and more money. I'm a FTP player. And I wouldn't recommend this game to new players at all

Yet, you keep playing it yourself? I don't see the logic in that.
Today I've done 22 for Jolee and got 6 shards and 30 for 10 of T3M4.The drop is around 30%. Yesterday my drop rate for Jolee was 13% (3 shards in 24 tries). And 2 days ago the drop rate was 47% (15 shards from 32 tries). Its just a question of RNG but drop rate tend to that 30%.
RNG drop rates are a staple of any game. If you made the KotOR toons your #1 focus you could have them all by now easily. This is a game of patience and strategy. But it is a game none the less.
Please try to remember that
It's a long term average that's hard to see day to day. Two days ago I got 1 Mission shard for 20 attempts, yesterday I got 12 in 20. It all evens out but those 0 drop days are really frustrating. I did several farms from 0 to 330 and tracked the drop % for myself just to see if it held with the 33% and it basically did. All of the characters were between 31% and 35% over the life if the farm. I just stopped tracking and kept on farming after that. Now I just map out the energy per day to spend for a specific farm to reach 7* by a ballpark date and try to focus more on the good days than the bad. It makes the farm less frustrating.
