With all the upset over the rising cost of precursors and the fact that most all other items, including exotics, are relatively flat, I’d like to offer this solution.
Let’s have 4 rares give x% chance of yielding a precursor.
Have 4 exotics give y% chance.
Have 4 unique skin exotics give z% chance.
Where z>y>x.
This would allow players to mindlessly gamble small amounts of coin at a time (rares average 20s a piece on my server), feeding sweet delicious rares to Zommoros.
At the same time, the riskier cash investment of exotics (average 3-4g) may still feed that Genie little more than your tears but at least the odds are better.
Finally, the unique skinned exotics (currently the same price as other exotics for the most part), would now be slightly more valuable as they would yield the best odds. This would raise the desirability of some of these often ignored items and help create a greater diversity of prices on the trading post.
Just an idea to help bridge the gap between those 4g something Greatsword of something else and the 310g Dusk is moving for this week….
