They really need someone who understands statistics. As the name implies what is important is the tendency, yes some players are gonna be better off and some worse than the exact drop rate they are targeting, but the important thing is what drop rates do players get on average. And don't reduce it as soon as 3 or 4 players report a better than average drop rate on the forum. Now far more players are reporting a worse drop rate than what they told us (should not need to battle a troll for a month to get a drop) and yet this never seems to bother them.

For my part I'll be sure to shut up if I ever experience something "better" than the average player, as we just shoot ourselves in the foot when we do it.
You should read up on what's going on before talking about things you don't know anything about. If you actually read up on things properly you would know there's a bug atm, one that they are working on fixing but that's hard to pin down the cause of. The devs aren't actively lowering the droprates, the system just broke.
