Guild Wars 2

2 months ago was my last fractal until this week. Every one of the fractals from before were 38 or 48. I’d average 1 rare per run and I hadn’t gotten a single skin in 4 months (from this week).

Now this week. I’ve done 2 fractals total, gotten 2 skins, about 5 rares on the 1st with 2 acct bound exotics and 10 rares on 2nd with 1 acct exotic. I also got 49 bags from the dredge with 0 mf (used to average at around 30 per 48 run and using omnoms). I also got 5 lodestones from the bags. Did something change or has my luck finally caught up with me?

PS. I thought it might be my lucky day so I bought a bunch of exotic daggers and a lottery ticket. I didn’t win the lottery and I didn’t get a precursor so the only answer is fractal drops were buffed.

I’d say luck. I’ve done it every day and sometimes twice at 48 and we get mostly 1 skin from the chest when we used to get 2. It seems like they did a stealth nerf to the daily chest during the southsun patch. I haven’t noticed the overall loot being any better either.

2 Patches ago skin drop was boosted and somehow even rares..

But more than “buffed” i’d say is something that keeps happening.
After every big patch people keep getting lot of drops, that diminish every following run till the awful droprate we are accustomed too

People said that 3 Patches ago…..and somehow seems ccurate.
Btw nobody is working or checking fotm unless for bug that could let players save 10 seconds.

Buffed?! Last 48 run I got loot worth total 10(ten!!!) silver and whooping 3 rares. If you call that buffed, I don’t know what to say.

a single run is not Worth.

infact before 2 Patches ago you Always got no more than 1 Yellow per run

While now you get usually 6 considering the final chest.
Also lot of those useless account bound exotic worthing less than a rare.

In fact before 2 patches ago I got stable 5-6 rares and pretty good exotic chance, now I get less and less loot virtually each run, meanwhile someone got 8-10 rares those exact 2 patches ago and now loots 5-6 rares and metric ton of lodestones\cores. All rng but heaven’s delight how I’m tired of this totally perverted risk\reward state of loots in fractals. Why should players run stuff like 48 fractal and higher, lose 1hr 30 min average for what, pathetic rewards and “another relic for you, dear, I know, you want those”? Better run cof and get double, triple, quadruple reward for clicking autoattack with your kitten’s left paw.
Royally screwed system!

If it was buffed, I think it was a slight buff and not incredibly noticable.

My guildie got about 6 rares while I got 2 from fotm 38. Nobody got a skin, one person got a bad-stat infused ring.
