2x drop cards = 2x chance of items dropping, 2x quantity of mesos dropping.
Not the same thing.
I was definitely getting twice normal droprate on items.
Most people think this. Unless it has been changed recently, it is:
2x drop events: Doubles the percent-rate to gain an item.
2x drop cards: Draws once. If the item wasn't dropped, draws again. Doubles mesos as well.
Say an item has .60 rate of dropping. With 2x drop events, the item will drop always (1.20). With 2x drop cards, the item will drop 84% of the time (0.60 + 0.4 * 0.6, or 1 - 0.4 * 0.4)
