GPO dev tracker: June 2023

The developers often say things in the official Discord that never make the patch notes: a drop rate, why something was nerfed, when the next update lands. We collect every message from the GPO team, keep the ones that tell players something about the game, and show the question they were answering. Each line links to the original message.
