Guild Wars 2

Please sign on with your signature for ANet to make ECTO’s as a random drop from creatures instead of only being available by salvage or the TP.

I don’t care if it is a specific location to farm them…Orr, certain dungeon, a low level map, certain boss, but this needs to be done.

Sign below.

Yeah. They should have the possibility of dropping from Veterans or Champions in PvE.

yes i agree with this and will sight your petition

On the otherhand, I won’t be able to profit from selling rare weapons.

/notsigned.

Signed! If they’re going to put such strong needs for Ecto’s, they should be more readily available.

Having it as a drop I don’t believe would make it any easier though. For RNG either hates me or Anet blacklisted me because they know from experience I’m willing to actually buy gems. Why reward me with drops when they know they have a suckers on the hook? ;-) So having Ecto’s as drop’s, I could probably farm them for month’s without seeing even one. Like passion fruit, I have a full stack yet, not one passion flower. Or, 20 FotM daily’s without a single ring drop….

Signed! I would like to see those as drop or reward from chest!

They should drop from Champs, Vets and in the Underworld (which should have been implemented instead of fracktals).

Although having ectos drop is a nice idea, I wouldn’t want them to drop in general PVE… lots of bots there ^^

I’d like to see materials etc drop as rare drops from vets and champs in the world, which would give people more reason to play out in the maps (rather than just log in their parked toon at whatever dragon is about to spawn).

I’d like to get dungeon and ascended gears too, but with no way of obtaining these without either running dungeons or dieing of boredom in fractals (or more likely losing a member due to RL, d/c, not got time to complete enough runs to up a level, or not being able to find a decent low level of fractals squad any more).

Horrible idea . this would drive up the amount of bots and drive down the prices of Ecto

You do realise Ecto’s are exotic materials right? Meaning they are one step above rare.

If anet do make them available as drops, you must realise their drop % will be that of exotic items. If you are finding hard to gather rare items and salvage ectoplasm from them, think about how much harder it’ll be making them drop as exotic materials on their own. You are therefore effectively asking to make Ecto’s even harder to come by.

This is one of those scenarios where people who don’t invest the time to farm want gameplay changes that will remove the need to farm, and they can still get the mats other people work so much harder than them for.

No. Its only thing what makes different between rares and other 1s trash what we vendor. What really need petition is RNG remove. RNG kill fun in this game and fun was Anet philosophy. Was.

Agree. There goes + from me.

Imho if the best way to get ectos is to craft yellows and salvage them, something is seriously wrong.

they’re not too hard to obtain… as long as you dont mindlessly TP every rare/exo that drops

you’re completely right, let every mob drop the exact same stuff over and over again /sarcasm

clearly you have no idea about game design, RNG is a staple in any game that involves loot… also i dont find the item drop rates to be bad (and ive played alot lot worse games with loot)

There is no point to this and it will never happen. DEV’s have already made it clear that they want to increase the rarity of ecto and they just increased rare drops in both mobs and dungeon chests kind of recently so I’m sorry to say you are just waiting bandwidth here..

They should have a chance of dropping inside dungeons, so people stop skipping all freaking enemies.

It’s really annoying trying to play when everyone just wants to run straight to the next chest.

That’s being efficient. The mobs in dungeons rarely drop useful stuff. So you chest hop until the final boss.

You are probably unlucky enough to get into speed-run parties.

There are plenty of people the do dungeon’s the “intended” way by doing everything without skipping. It’s personal choice.

Pretty sure petitions are against their ToS, but then again what isn’t? Have fun with your infraction.
