They just said the amount of drops was based on the damage we are doing to mobs so I would recommend you go as glass cannon as possible if you want a chance at better drops.

To be honest only Anet really knows.

Is GW2 a game or a virtual casino?

RNG uses an equation, so no, not truly random.

The results will never be outside the bounds set by the equation. So, it may have the appearance of random-ness, but it is not truly random.

For its purpose in a video game though, I think it works very well. Thats not to say fixed percentages may not be a better option, allowing for a more stable and predictable economy, but thats another story!

Hi everyone,

Just posting to correct a statement made by Drew. As said by Colin, doing more damage does NOT grant better loot. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Qualifying-for-loot/first#post1467117. You can see it there.

Thanks
