Guild Wars 2

Please, remove the Rare tags from Mats such as Putrid Essence and the like. There is no reason Mats should be anything over “Masterwork” level (except mists essence, cores/lodestone pieces, and ecto’s since those really ARE rare and can only be obtained in certain places.). The worst part about doing things with your DR and continuously nerfed events, is to finally have a wooden chest drop, only to find it contains a stupid putrid essence.

Why are these mats, taking place of my Rare Loot roll? When your RNG is stupidly broken already and 400%+ magicfind doesn’t help anything much, you just roll the same bad loot.

When a chest finally does drop, it should contain a REAL Rare Item, not one of these mats.

Chests are not effected by MF and Putrid Essence is a rare item it’s even in the category of rare items.

And MF does help and doesn’t help at the same time. If you drop an item with a 0.01% chance you drop it at a 0.05% chance with 400% MF.

Being rare has nothing to do with “can only be obtained at certain places”.
Being rare means it’s more difficult to obtain than masterwork.

Doesn’t matter, Putrid Essence should not be taking my “rare” roll.

When you kill a mob, you roll many times
• Whether you will get any loot.
• Type of loot you will get
• Rarity of loot you will get
• Item you actually get
• Attachment to the loot you will get.

Which finally ends up with a “sparkling mob” or a “Wooden/steel chest”.

After all of this rolling, a “wooden chest” should not contain a crafting material.
