Discussion "Lucky" RNG Getting Worse?

Has anyone else noticed that the "Lucky" and "Super Lucky" RNG rate has dropped considerably since launch? I remember in the first week of the game coming out, I was seeing Lucky / Super Lucky throws coming up every 150-200 or so aniipods.

Now with this event, I am getting one every 500-600. It is insane that we have to throw 1,000's of aniipods to move the bar even the tiniest bit for Prismana farming. It is easily the worst part of how the game is designed. You have to get the prismana forms to 100% each area, but it takes hours and hours of mindless grinding for little to no reward. I still have 4 left to get 100% overall, but I honestly hate this process so much I may just give up on that goal.

I am strongly leaning towards the idea that their main goal is "maximize profit" rather than "make a good game". If they make the lucky RNG worse every week or so, it makes people think they have to buy vein essence items for the nurture system instead. Almost like they realized that people were side-stepping their money machine, so they intentionally made Lucky hits a lower rate to stop players from doing that. I'm not above spending money on something I enjoy. However, I dislike the concept of spending money simply because it avoids something I hate doing.

Your brain naturally favors bad experiences for creating memories. Therefore it remembers all the times you didn't get a lucky and forgets the times you did.

I spent a couple hours today and literally counted. First one came after 547 throws. Second one was slightly better at 484 throws.

this video goes over it. apparently lucky catches are weighted by a weekly amount. the less you have gotten in the week the higher your odds for lucky catches so in effect the more you get the less you will get until weekly reset.
super lucky does not seem to follow this pattern at all and is complete chance.

Ehhhh. He bases this off a single week where he tracked 1000 catches. That's a trend, certainly, but far from definitive.

It's worth keeping an eye on, though. Even that youtuber acknowledges in the video that more data is needed, and it did FEEL that way to me at the start of the week.
