Q:

Someone in my guild kept on saying he was on a dimishing returns list since he feels that he isnt getting “good drops” as much as he should since he has all this magic find. He thinks Anet is after him and says they labeled him as a “high profile” person since he had a lot of ectos and various other expensive items.

So my question is, is this some sort of rubbish excuse so he can make himself feel better about not getting what he wants? Or is this a legit occurrence happening to other players?

I doubt ANet would spend the money to do such a thing.

sounds like he wants to point the blame at someone else for random bad luck

nail on the head right there. I would say it’s very unlikely Anet is conspiring against him.

I place people with ideas like that in the “quack conspiracy idiot” category…

Just some crazy nut with a conspiracy theory.

Honestly, I think your guild mate should take off his tinfoil hat. RNG is RNG, even with Magic Find. Given that it is random, it is conceivably possible to never, ever, ever, receive a yellow item. Unlikely? Sure. Possible? Yes.

And how did he get such massive amounts of ectos etc.? Sounds to me his return wasn’t diminished. Doubt Anet will put players on such lists. If they see something is not ok then they ban otherwise nothing. Nobody here, except the GM, can tell you for sure. My MMO experience tells me that he just wanted to show how much he has and how high profile he is.

That’s what i figured too.
No matter what i say, there really is no reasoning with him.
He has a conspiracy theory on why the auction is taking money from him and saying that the price for him to list ectos is more than everybody else and how it takes the listing fee twice. When i was on vent with him when i bought and sold multiple ectos and did the math. Still to no avail though. Even explained the listing fee and the tax cut taken from it aswell as the wiki post for that and diminishing returns.

For some reason he doesnt think the DR points reset everyday like dailies do and that it stick with whatever character he is playing. As of now, he isnt playing on one character in hoping it will bring back his drops when he hops back on it.
