Is there any grunt-work you can farm out to the community? Probably plenty of us willing to run packet caps and carry out specific actions.

Sadly, no.  It takes us about an hour per chest right now; the real solution is to automate it. We have the conceptual process to do it mostly figured out, but it's days of dev work to pull it off.

Have you been to our website? It's far from comprehensive, but we publish drop rates for a fair bit of stuff.

I have.

From what I recall, you show the individual drop rate for individual items on each item's page.

What I want to see are the tables themselves.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I'll put a card for it on our Trello board.

FYI, here's a few threads where Rodrak published some of the stuff he found buried within the client's DAT files (if I'm remembering correctly):

'Automating' comes from the roots 'auto-' meaning 'self-', and 'mating', meaning 'screwing'.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Ah. Sorry, those threads are in the Lurker-Free Zone hidden sub-forum.

Strake, can you please give Morrikan here access to LFZ?

Do we have some kind of a Strake Signal? Does it project a silhouette of a gun or a middle finger or something?

You can ask for anything.

Technically.
