Guild Wars 2

Okay so here’s the deal. I’ve been playing since launch, and for the past month and a half I’ve been getting heavily into making a legendary for myself (Juggernaut specifically). The first 2 weeks of farming (running CoF dailies, and then grinding CoF path 1) yielded me a handful of molten lodestones, a bunch of molten cores, and a plethora of rares and even an exotic or two. Laurels get implemented, and now I’m back on doing dailies again (I was already doing them, but now with more vigor!). It’s been about 3 weeks since running a dungeon has been worthwhile.

I kill all the dragons whenever they’re up, I run dungeons, I farm CoF, I farm sparks for charged lodestones, and yet none of this pans out as anything ever substantial. Here in just the past week the loot has been worse and worse. At this point I can run 10 dungeons and expect to get maybe one rare, and usually it’s a nonsense “Fiery Elixir” or whatever that turns you into a stupid fire elemental.

The more I read about the “mysteries of diminishing returns”, the more I think “oh god my account has been permanently marked as a DR account”. Can what I’ve been doing possibly resulted in my account being downgraded to a “crappy loot only” status? Because that’s how it feels right now, and I would like an answer. Blues and greens are all I find, and it’s getting super old super quick.

Why is my loot crappy all the time now? Why does every chest only have blues and greens (many times not even greens!)? Please for the love of Grenth give me an answer!

Thanks.

RNG plays a big factor. You can be really lucky, and get 7 rare drops in one Fractal run, or you may have a dry spell with the occasional rare here and there. If you want to maximize your chances to get rares, you should invest in getting as high a Magic Find bonus as possible.

I highly doubt it’s a problem with your account.

I’ve been running at optimum magic find :T The only things I don’t have are the +30% laurel necklace/infusion combo, or the +30% laurel-purchasble MF booster. Everything else is as high as she goes (including sup sigil of luck). That’s what scares me the most though, I’ve been running at high MF the entire time and still no luck

I’m still interested in an official answer on this. I’ve just run another 2 dungeon runs and didn’t even manage to get more than even 1 green. Don’t let me be a bloser forever!
