Got friend who I partner with and they are getting almost nothing but Ascendant Energy. Last count was 132 A-Energy. This has become a recent issue(started 2 weeks ago). Best description is it's nearly a 20-to-1 Ascendant Energy-to-Ascendant Shard drop rate. It has been nearly nothing but Ascendant Energy drops from the Daily Heroic Missions and Event Reward drops, and it is frustrating to both of us really. I get that this is random and all but when you accumulate 132 in 2 weeks and less than 20 Shards then its an issue we feel needs to be brought up.
Suggestion for fix:
Simple, make a fair exchange system in the tower that, should players be having this issue, they can exchange it for the other right? Even if it is like a 2-to-1 exchange rate or something, you know? At least until this error or whatever is going on here is fixed.

Probably better in #Feedback. But to answer your question it's all random. You are just kinda unlucky. Plus if you want a chance at more shards try running the raid.
