There needs to be a motivating factor for people to continue to stay in the game equipment is part of a motivator. Something has changed in the ebs. Few and rare drops. I've read the reasoning from kaw but. No matter their reasoning no aqua, no inferno, and no spells. We could look at an ebs with very few out of the group having the equipment and still no drops. There is something would appreciate, a realistic response.
@LickyT I'm not asking for easy drops. In just asking for POSSIBILITY if getting SOME. @grope your reasoning is all over the place on this one. And ATA has CREATED this universe
Is KaW_admin lurking or has he retreated to the mountain of self righteousness? No reply since my response to his original explanation
They are not giving the items, so that you participate in the ee wars for your bonus on drops, getting them more money, and with more money, comes less support, there answered,
What reasoning is all over the place. Two possible reasons for low drop rate, and people crying over items. We see it every week, it gets old.
That thought has definitely crossed my mind but devs say this is not true. If it is not true I'd like them to explain this phenomenon at my clan.
@ grope 1st u said drop rates are a set percent "a % is just a %." Now you say there are ways to "game" the system to improve drops. That reasoning is not consistent
Also @grope So you say THIS is normal? •23 days ago - No Quarter unlock - 1 hystricidae helmet dropped. •22 days ago - Cotd unlock - 6 shields dropped. •22 days ago - FOD unlock - zero drops. •16 days ago - NQ - zero drops. •13 days ago - Cotd - zero drops. •8 days ago - FOD - zero drops. •1 day ago - TOC unlock- zero drops •1 day ago - New Growth unlock - zer drops.
No I said I have NO PROOF, only observation. A % is just a %, but on that same token, other scenarios have suggested this % can be altered. I.E if less people have the item the % is normal, but if MORE people have it, then % may go down. I've listed reasons or my observations of how these can have validity.
You do 1 item EB every few days, of course it looks low on drops, spam FoD, stuff drops like crazy. Also, I'm pretty sure the Devs have posted, the higher your stats, the better the drop rate, so, lower stat players CAN lower your drop rate, that's what I gather. I don't remember where it's posted but I do remember seeing it said, I was like a 2.5M hansel at the time and I was pissed as hell. Figured I'd never get items. So if lower players have a % and because you let 700K do them, it could take more % of it away. Anything we say is speculation but from what I've seen, I have my own theories, but the Devs have given reasons of possible low drops.
With all due respect grope. I'm referring to my clan and drop rates specifically and I'm telling you those reasons do not apply. We have had plenty of actives in those EBs, with respectable stats, that did not have those items yet and we have gotten a hell of a lot of zeros.
And we do b2b item EBs with occasional haunts. T4 drop rates are too but too numerous to list. Feel free to look at our EB history grope and comment on specifics. Further general conjecture on your part is simply trolling.
I looked at your FoD 8 days ago, over half had under 1.5M in a T4 EB. I looked at some others. People had item, and people had lower stats, for a T5 EBs. Reasons just don't apply because you say they don't. You have bad luck. Go to a clan that spams your EB, or get higher stat members, I'm sure you'll get your items.
I go to a clan that does FoD B2B. Drop rates are decent. If they suck we run a haunt to "reset" drops. Next FoD, boom abyss/aqua/etc etc. You have bad luck, low stat members in T4/T5 EBs you won't get crazy drops.
It's not trolling, you're just not getting it because you don't understand game mechanics and what the Devs have said. You claiming I'm trolling is ludicrous. I'm serious as your crying.
@grope Sigh...you are trolling. You have taken the time to ramble here so now take the time to look at our entire EB history and see if you feel the same. I doubt you will be so blind. And we have tried several things to "game" the system. We sent most bigs out to let mostly smalls hit. We started back to war beast and ran it up to haunts. What we are looking for us answer from devs regarding very odd appearing drop rates. If you would like I demonstration of my knowledge if game mechanics I will be happy to demonstrate for the next several days
