. . . to screw in a lightbulb?

No, but seriously, I killed GDK #73 yesterday. . . which is the 73rd I have soloed, and I still have yet to get a single GDK scale. I know the whole 1/100 thing means I have approximately a 1% chance of looting a scale off any given GDK but as near as I could tell, it was a slot machine sort of mechanism whereby the individual statistical chance of looting the scales increased for each one you killed. Meaning, by the time you kill 25 you are up to a 1:4 chance of looting a scale on the next GDK, and so forth until at 73 I should have a roughly 3:4 chance of looting GDK scales on my next GDK killed. With odd of 1:3 after 33 killed, the law of averages states that I should have looted GDK scales (not regular scales and scale segments which I have deleted by the score) by now. Or is it a situation of every GDK being a 1:100 chance, in which case I am more likely to have Vader suddenly come alive and go Glow-Bat happy in the retreat next time I'm doing Inquisition missions, than I am to loot scales? How do they work the math? Next GDK I kill, is it still the 1:100 or it 74:100? Is there some weird algorithym that will give me some strange number like 73
100^73)? Is there a law of diminishing returns in effect? Or is it like I feared that GDKs honestly hate me more than Night Sisters and Gurk Kings do and they aren't dropping to spite me? Please help. . . I don't like accruing a 1000 battle fatigue across a GDK spawn that has me kill 4-7 of the beasts if I don't have to.

No RIS components are dropping atm afaik, so you can just stop killing GDKs till they fix it.

Known issue?
I didn't know they weren't dropping this stuff...and I was in the same boat as the original poster.
*sigh*
I really hope they don't "fix" the drops and over do it and flood the market like everything else.
