"the composition has nothing to do with drops right? then why are we integrating this with the reporting? yes i think "dropped ships" should be removed here."

Composition of what? Your own fleet? Enemy fleet? Own fleet still serves another purpose, and seeing that Hamakaze has only been seen from Wo formations at 2-2 boss nodes, people have been wondering whether it has been in the game all along. Like, Nagato only drops from a certain formation at 3-3 boss node or something.

"what came to me was, there's a separate "Report a Drop" feature. and you just say which note and which battle rank you got."

"people will not report drops from all sortie nodes he gets to. this is too much to ask from everyone. this will just account to less contribution, less accuracy. one person will not normally report a naka-chan on node X."

Fair enough, but I worry that this will still skew the ratios, because since rarer drops are more likely to get noticed, they still end up being reported more easily. At least doing what you were originally doing would make them more likely to take notice of the more common drops, thus increasing the accuracy of the reports.

 "there will be no percent % / rate. what we will present to viewers is the "amount of drops"..."

"in a normal circumstance here on wiki, 4 people reports Hamakaze on 2-2 and everyone follows right? they're not asking he reporters, "hey what % chance if i go there?"... what is important to people that there are a lot of players reporting on that node so ill follow."

"so when looking for a good place to farm uzuki, ill choose 20 reports from 2-2 or 13 reports from 5-3.."

Nah, first instinct is to trust hard percentages more. It's why there are % charts for LSC and not "how many people reported Taihou from XXX recipe" lists.

Also, 5-3 is hardly worth farming Uzuki for.
