Guild Wars 2

I noticed that i was getting alot of unidentified dyes and then saw that Anet changed the drop rate to the correct amount

BUT

Since then I seem to have significantly lower yellow item drop rates. I think the trend can even be seen in the TP since globs of ecto have gone up almost 4S in the last few days with no other explainable reason.

I assume this is also a error that was created when they fixed the dye drop problem. Anyone else having similar situation, or am I just in a really bad dry spell?

FYI I play regularly everyday and normally will get any where from 2-4 yellows every few hours at least. Recently I have been getting 2-4 every 10-12 hours

I seem to get more – I rather think this is the usual personal vs. statistical experience and not some sneak nerf on anet´s side. And I was trading ectos last night without noticing any great price changes (but may be remembering wrong and cannot check atm).

If you get 2-4 rares every 10-12 hours you probably hit the farming cap.

Got 3 in 30 minutes yesterday, without any magic find.

I know thats closer to my normal, but I have changed zones went and did dungeons ect to no avail.

If I am the only one experiancing this its probably just a coincendence and soon i will get really lucky

How it works the DR or farming cap?
Also I have noticed too, can be a coincidence too. But I was getting 3 rares every event, now I get 1 every 3 events(MF gear on).

The price of stuff is rising because a ban wave hit at the start of the month. The thousands of bots that were seeding the market are no longer there.

The price of ectos is rising because the price of everything else is. The cost to make an ecto 2 weeks ago was 9s. Now it’s steadily rising to ~17s.

From my experience, rare drop rates have not changed and neither has the ecto salvage rate. I usually find about 1-2 every 3 hours and on some days, 0.

I don’t how you guys get endless rare stuff and ecto… I fell like my veteran character that has nearly 90% of the game’s maps done gets nothing but junk on any map she farms for materials. I hardly see greens. Its like lv 80s are biased against and when my lv 45 guardian farms in her appropriate level she gets lots of greens and may soon see rares.

She usually packs on 50-55% MF usually.

My norm for my MF geared toon is 3 an hour or so, but lately its more like 3 a day.
The bots ban might explain the market if the market didnt have such a large fluxuation. 50% price increase isn’t going to happen because 20% (i know i am being generous) of the bots are removed

I got about 130+% MF and in 1 hour i got 6+ Rares yesterday. Without MF i was getting maybe 1 in 2-3 hours same area.

I think they buffed the drop rate… Almost on orichalcum and ancient wood. 1 of 5 items, gives me orichalcum or ancient wood with basic salvage kits, and sometimes, I find on mobs yellow (Rare) items where I get 1 or 2 ectos.

I never even noticed the dye change. I logged on, and got 2 dye in 20 minutes. That’s average for me. During the halloween event I clocked 8 dye in 30 minutes. I just get metric buttloads of dye. Both pre and post nerf.

My guild has mentioned that they are getting less ecto from their rares. Guildy salvaged 20 rares with black lion kits last night and apparently only got 1 ecto. They’re all trying to convince me anet stealth nerfed the ecto rate <.<

i got little more than porous bones in teh two shelter’s gate events i did mostly solo/3 other people there through out those two runs who also all died then left.

i had done no other combat that day or session, and hadn’t done combat at all in about 24 hours.

last visit to orr at the maggot spot netted me 8 dyes, several greens, one yellow, and many blues in 2 maggot chains and then the captain. that was just prior to the dye rate fix.

day after the fix? i was helping a guildie level and got plenty of drops of all quality levels for the level of the zone we were in. this is in bloodtide coast and lornar’s pass.

I got tons of rares today, did 2-2,5 hours of farm and got at least 15 rares

so ye, you’re probably just unlucky… and the rise in ecto price is probably because of the bot bans
