Guild Wars 2

We all know drop rates are really really bad when it comes to champion/legendary bosses, but i used to get ‘good’ drops from chests like fractals of the mist 20+. Now after the past days im also getting only garbage from those chests, just as bosses, is it only me? I can’t believe they reduced the drop rate even more, even globs/shards are dropping less in fotm, the people that made those runs with me also got nothing. Like seriously i got only ONE rare item using 30% magic find food. Its getting impossible to play like this, spend hours and hours and no rewards at all.

magic find only works on the corpse not on chests or bags.

here is a link from wiki http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magic_find

Now i do agree chest do seem to drop nothing very good most of the time.

Dungeons as well. I have run quite a few since patch and have yet to get a green from a chest. ALL BLUES.

Since the patch my luck has actually turned around and I have been getting a lot more rare drops from chests. I think it is just bad luck really.

Could be, I have been getting a lot more rares from Orr, but nothing from dungeons. Maybe there is a trade off.

This RNG just discourages me so bad =/.
At least, they should add fractal weapons to the fractal relics selling list, so that i wouldnt feel all my time was wasted at least.

It looks like the drops in this game shouldn’t really be taken serious when looking for gear, they are just a plus if you are really really lucky will get, otherwise just be happy with the tokens and get stuff with it, but if thats their way of thinking they should add all the items to the token vendor at least.

Sure fact, getting items from drops/chests isnt considered a way to get gear.

It sucks more and more every day.

When I finally got my set with 150+ magic find (boons and mf booster) in 1 hour of farming orr, the only rare thing I got was one of those dusts for crafting.
Not good as a start..not good at all

Welcome to my world.
This has been happening since before Nov 15. In the open world environment. You guys who have been running dungeons have been getting rewarded far and above what open world people have been for well over 3 months.

Please stop complaining you have had it well for a lot longer than I have.
OR keep complaining non stop.
Doesnt matter cause it is only going to get worse for you as that is what happened with me.

This is pretty fun, being fotm nearly the only place where you can get rares/exotics/expensive stuff, yet comments like these, are said by ANet:

“In 2013, one of our main goals is to add more content to maps of all levels, as well as stronger reward structures for playing across all locations in the world. This will give us a strong structure of experiences, challenges, and rewards that are balanced for a player of any level in any map and help make the social experience of playing anywhere in our game more exciting.”

They want to improve rewards, yet, they keep on destroying loot by only dropping garbage from 99% of the mobs/bosses/chests.

I wish we could get some clarification of how are we supposed to play this game in order to get the so much called ‘good rewards’ said by ANet.

The RNG has taken all over this game, i know i know you can get exotic ugly looking gear easily, but for cosmetics being end game, they should be also rewarded for some effort instead of being an RNG korean farming mmo.

Dungeons for me have been great after patch. In 2 runs got 1 exotic axe, 2 cores and 1 rare staff. And the axe wasnt even from the chest, I got it from Malrona(ta exp)
