Before, I could expect a scrap dropping at a 75% rate (personal data, using three batches of 50 chests each time).

As of todays’ patch, the scraps and the full tickets received a 50% drop decrease at least (again, personal data with three batches of 50 chests each and a single 100 chest batch from someone else).

And Instant Repair Canister is still on the drop list. And the guaranteed Booster is still on the drop list.

You basically devalued your own Chests, since people rarely used them for anything else that were not scraps and tickets, while simultaneously addressing the ages old issues with them.

Please fix.

i don’t know about the ticket or scraps, but I’ll say this about the boosters.

The only useful boosters are the MF, EXP, celebration/birthday (but those you don’t get from chests), and gathering boosters (gathering barely makes it though). Remove the rest. And yes, remove the repair canisters, since repairing is free now, and usually in dungeons there is a waypoint right beside a repair anvil. So the item is pointless.

The information of drop rate of scraps from wiki has had it at 32% or about one scrap every 3 chests, not 75% (and one full ticket every 50 chests).

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

150 chests of data vs. the wiki obviously the wiki would win.

But at least for me, the drop rate was 75%. And it was good. Current BLC is not worth it comparing it to 75% scrap, PRE-PATCH BLC.

Let that thought sink in.

Have you ever seen someone arguing on the forum that they were worth it?

Maybe you had really good RNG and now you’re returning to the real average.

RNG strikes again? I had 5 keys left from the sale, so I went ahead and opened 5 chests. Nothing exciting dropped (no tradeable finishers), just a couple of miniatures to sell for a couple of gold. But I did get 3 scraps in the 5 chests.

75% scrapchance? Did you open other BL Chests than me? In all chests that I ever opened combined I had a total of 7 scraps…
