I think I might understand the vanity item drop bug - and it involves the store.
The Vanity Drop Bug from my perspective:
The equipment dyes found in the orange crates in the PVE open world do not drop for me regardless of level, world tier, etc. I have ran through and collected as many crates as possible to no avail. I still receive the two gear pieces from each crate, but dyes do not drop.
I have tried the following to amend the issue with no success:
- At world tier 2, joined another player`s session to collect crates.
- Waited for the loot refresh timer to reset.
- Made a second agent character, leveled said character to appropriate level to collect cosmetics, crates, etc.
- Made sure my game properly installed updates and is up to the current version of the game.
Before Title Update 3.0, I had collected 3 out of the 10 dyes found in crates. Post title update, they no longer drop along with other vanity items such as clothing.
Video of Bug:

In the video, I show one one of the crates that are suppose to drop an equipment dye. I then briefly show my character level and all the dyes I posses currently. Finally, I show that dyes do not drop for me by showing the crate contents.
Possible Cause:
I believe this bug could possibly be affected by the apparel store and newer items being released. Once you precede a specific amount of items (collected from activities, store, events, etc.) the game`s system assumes you own all of the items that could be collected from the open world so they would no longer drop although that is not the case seeing how I am legitimately missing items.
Now this is completely hypothetical and I have a strong feeling that it could more complicated than this, but hopefully this can bring up discussion and work towards a solution to fix this bug. I am a solo player and am unable to participate in a lot of content in the game so collecting and customization are some of my favorite pastimes in the Division 2. Hopefully this gets fixed soon
