Thanks Wampo! It seems you're right! BWS; effort level in threads? I only wanted an opinion from outside my clan, the question didn't require any further explanation.
I must be the only person to have never received Treasure, you all talk about it as if its regular, received often. Maybe if I could one I would actually care that its gone.
It seems as if the devs have lowered drop rates on the whole, possibly with the idea of people that have estoc's edge will have an advantage over the people without it. Perhaps they are worried about people earning too much with the addition of bronze bars and expensive pots (which I'm sure a lot of people sell). Add to that the rewards the new war system are offering (potentially) and the dev's have a tough task to balance rewarding us more, particularly for warring, but at the same time not making the game to easy. Therefore, perhaps they decided to lower the drop rate so if you war lots and gain the gold edge, when it is released, your chances of a drop are the same as they were previously. This would solve the problem and encourage people to war to get a decent chance at drop, plus it offers an increase in plunder which I'm sure will be significant for gold edge.
Yes I've noticed that also. Since we won ours FOD COTD neither drop treasures. The treasure drops seem to be broken.
My clan had been doing 1 FoD daily for a few weeks. At least 1-3 treasure drops every time. Since Friday not one single treasure. And all other drops decreased tremendously. Not sure what the issue is, but it's not bad luck. It's a change of some sort.
No treasure drops since the ee. Also, the item drops have been few & far between also. Players are getting a "slight" increase in receiving pots/bars, but not in item/treasure drops.
Estoc edge is a joke-its all done to increase crystal usage during war and decrease drops on EBs. When you extrapolate out the extra "edge" you get it doesn't pay for the pots burned/used to win war
