If anyone knows what causes dropper post wiggle and or how to fix it let me know. This seems to be a wide spread problem between me and my riding friends.

you mean dropper post play? where you can turn the seat a little and it can sometimes rattle?
usally its wear in the pins(keyways)
If using a oneup post, they make oversized keyways for this reason.

What brand? SOme brands like SDG and Giant use nylon keys that wears rather quickly but can be replaced rather easily.

my trek one has a bit of play in it. I only notice it when actually jiggling it. Never noticed when riding

Didnt notice any keys that look replaceable in it last time i did a sevice
