I think it's more like realizing they made a mistake after listening to playerbase and fixing the problem. Your analogy doesn't make much sense.
Yes, "LOL". Such silly comment!
I don't especially take side for the dev. They do some things i dislike like adding too many perma pachinko girls or not giving a definitive solution to affection issue. And I let them know when it happens.
But the girl drop in the new system is clearly not a real issue. Only for those who had bad luck and think they are center of the world.
I have no doubt that I know more players and have a better vision of the overall player base than you, though. I closely follow 2 of the 3 official discords, as well as the 2 official forums (this forum here is not one of these official forums). So, yes, I dare to say that I have a global enough perception of the situation.
But feel free to correct my assumption if I'm wrong.
Oh please, forgive me, I didn't have the luck to receive a good enough education. I'm from a poor non native speaking country
In the other hand, I can quote people from the discord and forum asking if the drop rate had not been raised, because they got both revival event girl in the first 2 days...
So, i'm of the opinion that the problem lies with too many people not understanding that with RNG and probability, a sample of 1 (or even 10) is not enough to build an accurate picture of the reality, and thus deceive themselves.
Also, it's a social fact that unsatisfied people are more prone to voice their unhappiness while satisfied people just stay quiet. It contributes to build a biased perception of reality.
Oh, and the boss counter is not taken into account when it comes to event girls. But this, I assume you already knew about it, already. It's common knowledge once you know the game a little bit.
