(Ritual) Tablet Self-Sustain Is A Problem

Title.

I might complain about a lot, but GGG has done plenty of good work too.

However, this is stupid. I finally ran out of my old tablets, so I setup a new tab for maps and tablets to run and juice like a good gamer. And after 10 maps I noticed not a single ritual tablet dropped for me, so I check the market and they're like 100ex for a basic one.

I'm a simple gamer guy, not necessarily a super high-end meta gamer. I just run through game with builds I like and do mechanics I enjoy. But now, I can no longer casually do mechanic I enjoy so fun is die.

Am I alone here? Is anyone else having this problem? Was my sample just too small maybe? Not that I'm broke, but I don't want to feel forced to spend tons of currency just for simple alch+go style gameplay. And for someone just entering the endgame (never mind SSF players), I can't even imagine how they're going to get their start.

not only ritual, all of them.

pretty sure tablet drops are either bugged or they changed it without putting it on patch notes

I'm just like, they want to force 6mod no portal maps for 3 tablets? Fine. But then they also don't give me enough tablets to play the damn game. Lol wtf.

I literally just posted this myself 😂

I was thinking "is it just me"?? But yea it looks like they've made us more dependant on tablets than ever all the while not having them drop.. the price for a 5% quant irradiated with 2 and a half charges is gonna hit the roof soon enough 😂

It's ok guys just buy it he only took a few bites

The rates seem to have dropped a bit, but I still drop 4 tablets by hitting 3 Disgust on a regular 6-mode T1 map. (Almost every map.)

I keep thinking about this and wonder if there is more code from the planned 0.4.0 update that made it into 0.3.1 that weren't quite supposed to. (Or they're running an experiment on us so they didn't say anything, just observing from behind the one-way window.) Like maybe it would make more sense/balance w/ all the additional changes to Atlas/Endgame they are working on. But we're not interacting with those, so we're not seeing the balance/effect of those.
Before, I used to think Tablet drops were many too high. So maybe they were adjusting that, but then the base # value for Uses were calculated based on the old drop rate and not to match the current droprate?
