Guild Wars 2

I usually don’t do this but I’ve posted multiple times to the other thread but I’m not convinced we the community are being heard.

This thread is nearing the same size as the last one about this very same issue, this thread is almost at 1k, the last one was closed at 1.200 posts. Did I miss an AMA or something because I’ve not seen a single thing about it since. All I’d like to know specifically is is there something being done about the veteran/champion drop problem? Is there something wrong with it? I’ve not seen a single extra chest drop either someone said that might be happening…..At the very least we should be seeing rares off vets and rares/exotics off champs. There’s also been some speculation that even tho each person’s loot is individual to the player, that your system unfairly grants the best loot to whomever hits the final hit, and everyone else gets junk.

For the sake of the community can we have a reply to the thread I linked above please? Thanks.

Rares off Vets and rares/exotics off Champions? Wow, another one that wants to ruin the economy! If the drop rate was working as intended then id expect rares to be, well, rare and exotics even more so!

That being said I personally dont think its working as intended as I hardly get a drop from Champions. Id appreciate a green or two for my troubles at least!

If it was changed to rares dropping from each veteran kill and exotics from every champion, we’d be vendoring them like blues and greens since the game would be awash in them.

It would crash the economy.

In case you haven’t noticed already, the economy is already ruined, 5 gold per piece of armor + 10 gold per rune or sigil is hardly normal imo. Those like you who’ve been profiting off of hte newbies by getting there the first month rushing to 80 and then exploiting the drop rate issues by gathering everything you could before the nerf doesn’t make it right or a normal economy and doesn’t mean that the drop rates from the vets/champs are normal either. 2200 people would like to beg to differ on that point.

The problem is we aren’t see anything of rare value drop off of the vets/champs at all and that’s if they drop anything. There’s plenty of evidence that it’s simply not working.

First the economy would adjust. But we do have on patch notes that a drop is to happen for every champion, end of story. I’m not saying it has to be high-end, just your std RNG thing. The deal here is, it will draw people together in the open world to take Champions down more often, which is a good thing for the health of the game. Vets, I can’t recall what was said about them, but it could be clarified once again.

There is no way Champs are dropping loot 100% of the time, which was stated in a Nov 15th patch note I believe it was.

Whenever ppl don’t get the drops they want, they go into conspiracy/speculation mode and make up the weirdest schemes to explain away their perceived “bad drops”.
