Drop Rates
I ran 4 levels of fractals and a path of AC and the only rares I got were a ring and a back piece. I usually get at least a single rare per fractal run. I’d say drop rates were off, but I think it was just a bad week for my friendship with RNG as everyone else in my group got multiple rares, exotics, and even charged lodestones.
DR or drop rates seem to be messed up since the 15th November patch. You can join us here and contribute more details of your experience.

The only problem with drop rates are the developers making this game a farmfest/grindhouse. Everything in this game can be made bind to account, including gold, solves all problems, this should include any exploit possibilities using guild banks to try and “transfer” money to anyone else. There are plenty of other items that can be made to trade/sell on the TP. No imagination, even less control.
