Guild Wars 2

Is there a reason the drop rate is so insanely low? I know its needed to create a set of gear with a new stat config but it’s not like it’s legendary or something. You need 75 flowers for ONE piece of gear at 25 silver in the auction house, that is way too much. I figure that either the number of passion flowers needed to make the gear should be decreased or the drop rate should be increased.

Just seems like ANet is limiting player build variety for no good reason.

So does anyone have a valid reason why they would have the drop rate set so low?

No, there is no reason. No idea if they are even planning to update the droprate of them.
We actually need them for infusions, their new main content.

I have yet to see one and I gather from the node which drops them daily lol.

you can add this to other drop rate related issues that Anet has refused to answer. Just look at the dev tracker, they are active answering all types of threads except the drop rate issues.

Consortium chest scam, you forgot? Buy 300 of them, you can justify why there are so many on sale, on TP, and still, you never dropped one Investment some would say, idiocity is what i call. Not by people who bough them (erm..) but from the fake loottable, when one in a million is a flower

A full set of Passion flower exotic jewelry would cost roughly 90-100g currently. The drop rates and the mats need to be tweaked.

That’s the investment i was talking about , as you see. Make money on people desperate to have this mat
