Guild Wars 2

Someone in my guild mention that the coffers dropped from mobs has diminishing returns (albeit a low cooldown) to deter people from farming them, because anet doesn’t like grind farming in GW2. However, if this is true, for me atleast, the DR only increases the amount of time I will be grind farming, because I want my Jade Weapons skins and I will keep farming til I get them or the event ends. If there was no DR, I would get more coffers and get my skins sooner, and thus stop grind farming as they want sooner. If this is true of course.

“kill 300 of these mobs, BUT YOU BETTER NOT GRIND THEM OR WE’LL PUNISH YOU”

i noticed that they do drop off a little bit, but not too much, i went from like 7 to 10 a minute to like 4 or 5 a minute but this is offset by the respawn times on the mobs i farm

I worked on my slayer title over the weekend. I did skales, harpies & shelled creatures. Each had about 400 to complete. The first 300ish drops from each class were decent, drop rate for coffers was about 10%. With about 100 on each one left, I was just getting white trophies & coffer rate seemed to drop to 5%.

I believe it was area based, when I would do the holo’s the rate at which coffers dropped were right on par with the regular baddies. I’d start a new class of baddie & drops would be “normal” and coffers were plentiful but they slowly dwindled away over time due to DR.
