Seeing how they "might" be changing pull rates based on certain parameters got me thinking about what if they do the same thing with other different probabilities this game is full of like skill-ups or legend skillbook drops, etc.

I know I'm being paranoid but I don't really like the possibility that I might be getting a worse treatment based on how much I play the game or whatever variable they decide to use.

I have felt this way so often but no way to know. Maybe it's true that if you have the character the rate of getting the book decreases lol. Who really knows

Pretty sure it's true. I always get skillbooks for characters I don't own way more than any I own.

well if it's there it's not in a way that it's measurable. the rate is supposed to be between 1/10 and 1(9 normally and between 1/5 and 1/4 under skillup event,and that's more or less what is the average. Of coruse there's the guy that it's gonna get nothing and the one that maxes with 20 copies, but according to the skillup thread the rates seems to always fluctuate between 20 and 25%..which coincide with the known rates.

sockets though might be something worth investigating, like how often you get the shitty variety compared to the usual golden 6

Yes but those are averaged, we don't discriminate between units while doing the calculations. Now that we now that they might be changing individual values, how do we know they don't give Akainu a lower chance than Bellemere?

How do we know they don't lower the drop rates of certain skillbooks for those players who own those characters, or like, lower the drop rate after a certain number of runs to give false hope.

I mean, 2 days ago I would have called myself crazy for saying this but now I'm not so sure.
