Hi there, veteran "realist" player here, I have been playing since late 2022 and I have thoroughly enjoyed realist game mode, I started on "regular" on my ult account and I felt the satisfaction from maxing and completing logs/achievements wasn't quite as satisfying/gratifying as I wanted it to be (slightly quicker then expected) , I am an avid player - mostly after work to help myself unwind, I am a pretty high ranked realist player now, I don't think you should play realist for the "better drop rates" I think you should play it if you are committed and proud of the symbol before your name!! whichever way you decide to play feel free to add me if you need a friend or have any questions about the game! 🙂
