Guild Wars 2

It says that it should not effect normal players. but how does anet define a normal player?

for me the way i make my gold (and one of the things i enjoy in the game) is by doing farming runs. i also use this to help recruit for my guild, however i have begun to notice drop rates getting worse on rare items and other tier 6 mats that i used to get plenty of.

so here are my 2 questions

1: at what point does DR come into effect?

2:is there any way to reset your DR level?

also how can you tell what your DR “score” is? and how often does it reset/go down?

also is DR for farming based per zone? or world wide?

or is DR based per killing each type of creature?

o shoot also account or toon based?

There will be no way for you to know about your exact DR or really any knowledge of DR. It is put in to the game to combat bots. The more information about it the better the bots will be at breaking it. This is way that restrictions to combat botting actually hurts players. Sometimes after a long week I just want to kill hordes upon hordes of undead, but if I do I know that I won’t get good loot after awhile and I will have to kill bunnies instead.

So, the short of it, you will get anecdotal evidence about DR but will know nothing concrete. When you feel you are not getting good loot anymore, either move on or keep killing. It’s up to you.
