Drop rates are not "bugged" or "fake"

[floody]

Many people complaining that the 20% drop chances are fake etc. This is not the case.
What is happening that many people also get these items very easily or first try but you dont see them come here and open topics about it.
People only post about negative things affecting them.
So while you are "unlucky" on average with certain items, many others are the opposite.
Its just not visible on these forums.

But it just happen to a single item that generate majority of the post? Nah fat chance it just bad luck. The drop rate on that item is bugged or there is a system messing with the drop rate. After all they used it in their previous game so why not use it in this game.

Not sure which item exactly you are talking about but personally I got every 20% item fairly easily, and I guarantee you theres many other people like me too.
We just dont make topics about it. If you could check the drop% across every player it would even out to exactly 20%.
Small sample sizes make people turn to tinfoil conspiracy theories.

ye the droprates are correct thats why i always need to spam missions 40-50 times to get a 20% chance drop. defintly not maple story drop rates :-)

We know that Nexon manipulated drop rates in Maple Story to make money.

We assume that they're not manipulating drop rates in The First Descendant to make money, for... reasons, I guess? Not sure what the rationalization is here.

I got 3% chance parts way faster than 20% chance for the same part.
Complaining is just some people nature.

38% chance for Enzo in Pattern:040. 20 tries and i got none! with 38%!!! I mean wtf?

Wrong. After 161 of the same mission with not a single trancesndant mod drop its safe to say drops are rigged and the players claiming to have gotten drops are simply lying. Been farming for 3 days, none of the drop numbers add.

And I got that enzo code first try. So what does that mean? There are unlucky people and there are lucky people at the same time. Drop % working as intended.

And you probably got many other items very fast/easily but you dont even remember it. Theres no evidence at all that the drop%s are wrong. Sample size of a single person is too small.

I partially agree.

The problem is they used % and they shouldn't have.

Look at whatever your attempting to get , see how many rewards there are (say 5) , and understand that you have a 1/5 chance of getting it. This is actually different than 20%.

Also people can't seem to grasp that every single attempt does NOT add up and you get better chances the more you try.

I guess all the stuff I'm looking at is fake.

My personal anecdotal story for this thread is I have never had to do more than 6 runs to get any 20% drop item I was farming for. I have my starter character Viessa and have unlocked Bunny, Freyna and Sharen. I have built 4 Thunder Cages now, have polarized 2 of its slots and added the mod expander item. Not once in all of that when I was farming for a drop to finish any of these did it take me more than 6 runs. Personally, If Im aiming for something and I dont get it in 2 runs, I go and do something else for a bit, come back 2 more. Farming like that, Ive never needed more than 6 to get a 20% item.

I see alot of them. I mean when I log in today I'll have 2 more descendants ready to go (maybe 1 because of that 16 hours lol) and I have modules for many that I'll never use.

Problem is alot of these people are young and just can't understand basic math and probabilities anymore

bro grinding a item all day is tedious and boring doing the same mission there is something wrong with the system. it need a higher % chance on items on the mission you redo and if you hit them items you dont want it goes back to default % whilst the other items your trying to get in mission get % increases

I understand it can be very frustrating, I also had an item where i was very unlucky but kept at it. Some sort of bad luck protection could be a good idea for every kind of item. (the shape stabilizers are kinda like that)
