Guild Wars 2

For a short time it was enjoyable. then you reverted the fix that was needed and now orr has negative utility. overall drop rates are poor, odds of getting a rare are poor, and t6 mats are near impossible to get. many dead drop nothing including vets and champs.

my time has got to be worth more than this – i don’t feel any incentive to go to orr at this point.

Have you even gone there since the update?
Well, I have, after not being there, and I get Heavy Moldy Bags like every third kill. Not to mention, just straight up T5/6 mats from mobs. My friend got a named exotic off a random vet. The temple merchants now sell boxes that can give you karma, mats, and stuff listed (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lost_Orrian_Jewelry_Box) here.

yes, i go there all the time – i have killed dozens of things and get a small amount of loot bags.

Tell me what MF you have – thats likely the difference. I was getting good amount of drops after the increased drop rates and that was with no MF gear. Then they reverted the change and drop rates stink – again, no MF.

I should not be forced to gimp my toon with heavy MF just to get a decent rate of return for my time.

If they raise the drop rate for non MF users than MF users will be like, “How do i hold ALL these rares?!”

Yet another reason to remove the ridiculously stupid MF system.

I dont understand OP, you want even better loot? I did 1 short event lasting maybe 5 or 6 minutes. Got 3 moldy bags and various blues with a green here and there. Did the next event in the chain and got a rare and tons of blues/greens with T5/6 mats. Not to mention you can use karma to buy orr chests from the npc’s in Orr for tier 6 mats and other items.

The drop rate has been increased significantly, no need to hand out the key’s to the Tyrian Bank vault and make everyone a millionair.

They reverted the loot table change after the initial update.

I have no idea what you are saying, what MF you use, etc. My experience from yesterday <> your experience. I had zero MF, played in Orr for a significant amount of time, got minimal amount of drops, no rares I can recall, few bags etc. AND this was after all DR cool down had been worn off working on my other toons in other zones…
