4600+ hours, 1 precursor (Howl from an electric fish in Bloodtide Coast); 0 from some random forging of drops.
I got the one around the time Scarlet started attacking everywhere (Clockwork Chaos).
I’ve played since betas.
actually I am just kidding I have played for three hundred and sunny three hours no drop but I’m not even trying for it. on the other hand my brother has about 500-600 hours in and he has 3 drops.
2 precursors. One was a straight up drop in WvW. The other was from the first southsun event, but I don’t really count that one because precursors were handed out like candy at that time (relatively speaking). Stopped playing the toilet game a long time ago.
7k+ hours on one toon, 8K+ hours total
with 13,500 Achievement points
1100 World Rank Points
with 189% Magic Find (hasn’t changed for a few months)
(so I’ve been doing stuff) been around since the beginning….and the only decent thing that has ever dropped EVER is Entropy(about 6 months ago),and that was AFTER a guildie gave me one a week before (hmmmmm) and maybe 3 Ascended Trinkets.
I used to play every day for 4-5 hours now I’m at 10-15 a week at best.
But owell such is life if I hit 10k hours im gonna laugh.
I have crafted 14 total Legendary’s sold 2 of the Precursors to buy the ones i needed to craft my Legendary’s and gave the rest of the Precursors away to Guild mates
Didn’t you see though?! You can just buy the xpac when it comes out and then make one. But you know…have to still buy the xpac for the thing people wanted…for like…forever.

Well, it’s 3,939 hours and 0 Pre drops. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had a drop worth over 30g.
But…
I have my main and two alts tricked out with exotic gear, way cool looks and more than enough gold to play. As I said in another thread: “Just play the game and have fun.”

It’s called “Bait & switch”. They teased the playerbase for a long time over this, and are likely now going to stick it behind a paywall. Typical.
Where are my gem sales? I want gem sales! Nerf EVERYTHING!

Oh believe me, I know.
What I’m hoping to see is for it to dawn on more people and see if Anet is going to actually respond to this or if they are waiting to see how many people don’t rush to buy the xpac then lose their minds when they realize they can’t craft a precursor.

All precursors inclusive 3x Dawn. All of them from the fountain.
I am the proud owner of every Legendary weapon
If someone is not believing i can send screenshot proof.
I plan to get another dawn next week to figure out what happens when throwing 4 Dawns into the Mystic Toilet.
I guess this is real evidence there is a luck factor.
I didn’t play more or harder than anyone else.
My wife and me are more casual players and she didn’t get any precursor from fountain
despite having roughly same tries.
Actually we don’t even play more than 1 hour per day.
It’s the usual routine…. comein at 5h mountain time, defeat Tequatl….
use the Karma to buy beads… farm the Falls for platinum… sell beaded weapons for 20 golds overall …. this routine is enough to buy everything you need for the fountain.
about 3400 hours two pres. One from the toilet (howl) and one from a mob (the spear ;_;). And if want to know how many tries I did for my howl its was no more than 20 and with rares. I didnt even expect to get my pre out of it I was just throwing in random stuff for kittens and giggles.
3 drops from dungeons(all in the last 6 months)
40+ from MF( time to wait for buy order mats and to craft is long, usually can watch a movie while doing a set of 1k rares to gamble on, not profitable anymore now)
just for giggles, 1 perma hair style kit from 100 bltc keys
Zero precursor drops since beta. I own 2 legendaries only because I bought the precursors off the TP. Both were very expensive and took almost a year apiece to grind the gold for the precursors and half the T6 mats.
I plan to get another dawn next week to figure out what happens when throwing 4 Dawns into the Mystic Toilet.
I wanna see a screenshot of THAT.
It’d need to be a short video to demonstrate that they were actually thrown as advertised. Possibly a REALLY well-timed screenshot, but you’d hate to do it and miss the timing.
In my case… a little over 2300 hours, no precursor drops. I haven’t used the Mystic Toilet to gamble for precursors as yet.
To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.
They made a CDI about rng months ago. The overall consensus was that rns is bad and should be changed. Let’s wait for the expansion and see what is their solution for it.
That’s the cutest thing I’ve read all day.
Recently returned to…
…Aurora Glade some random MegaServer™, always being asked to volunteer for that buff…

2240 hours, not a single precursor. I got a few ascended things from WvW, thats about it.
Not saying the drops are bad in this game, but…. the drops are bad…
530 days, 2 precursors from loot bags.
Both The Lover – the first was from a Frostgorge Sound champion bag and the latest was from a champion bag looted from the chest of nightmares in Silverwastes.
Answer, Skrit, yea you thought they were fairly useless thieves but in actual fact they are top secret employees of there boss who goes by the name of “Mr Smith” who likes to portray himself as defender of the economy but is actually a evil treasure hoarder…
So how do the Skrit do it? Its simple they have 3 superpowers:-
1) Sense impending precursor drop.
2) Speed of ‘THE FLASH’.
3) 100% pickpocketing.
Every player in the game has had 100’s of precursors drop but wham, bam, thankyou mam, they are in your backpack and before you have a chance to click on the item your precursor is replaced with a GREEN.

Throwing 4 pres in is a really bad idea. There is a vid of tossing 4 pres in already (although i think it was awhile ago), it nets you the same crap you’d get if you just tossed 4 exotics in.
6.5k h 4+ precs
1 down in queen’s jubelie (1st year destr. farms 300+mf 50ppl+)
1 staff scarlet’s invasions (300+mf 20ppl+)
1 Rifle EOTM veteran koda ( 300+mf 50ppl+)
1 shild fractals-jade (240+mf 5ppl)
I think I’ve got one more from drop but can’t remeber
I think anet was planing on 1 pre/year so anyone can craft only one legendary/year but because of mf i got like 2-3/year
Found Rage precursor after ~7600h in edge of the mist. No other pre yet
It felt like an insult tbh. I would have rather not found it than finding the most worthless one after such a long time. I only got 60g minus taxes for it due to the precursor craft announcement.
If you roll 100 – 20 sided die, what are the odds you will roll a 2000?
If you think the odds are better after the 10,000 roll than the first roll, I have found your problem with this entire thread.
Yes, it is more LIKELY you will get 2000 after 10,000 rolls than a single roll, but the number of rolls has NO bearing on the actual odds of each roll.
This is the basic concept of RNG that most players just do not grasp.
We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
if I hit 10k hours im gonna laugh.
