So I read heathtech's post, but I am confused to where he got his rates. I am not sure, I might have missed where he stated how he got his numbers, but did he just get it from compiling what people said in the multi-pull mega thread? Or did he get the rates from Bandai?

Somehow (and we shouldn't dig much deeper) he's gotten the true rates from the servers. He's also gotten the cotton candies formula, the ship upgrade rates, the low-cost rankings formula and some other things

Out of interest, how do people know his rates are the true rates? So far he is the only one to post those rates, there is no way to verify them unless he tells more about how he got them, but somehow almost everyone believes those rates are correct without even considering they might be wrong.

Up until now, the formulas he's given us have been consistent. The cotton candy one is consistent with tests I've run, the low-cost rankings one is also accurate. Plus, and this is on a more personal note, he uses the correct in-game name of the units in his Sugo-Fest posts, which is difficult (the database doesn't update Global names) unless you keep track of them (I do, to update the DB) or you have them in front of you

That makes sense, thanks for the answer.

I have a conspiracy that he/she might be the one behind 711 and got fired for it. His apparent love for this community really matches up.

I don't agree with the "we shouldn't dig much deeper". A Reddit account doesn't give away who he is.

I think knowing the source of the info is important.

My guess is his reverse engineering got him the address where the request are made and he simulated thousands of call.

My reasons for not digging deeper are mainly 3:

  • He could be an employee. It's difficult, and it doesn't seem to be the case, but it could happen.
  • If he discloses how he got the info, his OPTC account could be banned (again, maybe, and assuming Bandai found out and tracked the calls to his account)
  • If Bandai gets to know the method, there's a chance they can "patch" it

It doesn't have to be detailed with reproducible steps, but an outline
