Guild Wars 2

Really really sick of how much the RNG hates me. do daily dungeons, cof/coe/se, some fractals, jump puzzles, events, alot of everything. all i ever get is stinking blues. with or without magic find, does not matter. run with 2 other guild mates on all these runs, they always get cores, rares at least 1 every run. blue used to be my favorite color until gw2…

could i be stuck in Diminished return limbo? is there a way to reset that? ha!
past 3 weeks, nothing but blues, and 1 or 2 greens.

end rant/

Don’t worry. One of the devs (I think it was Robert) said they were improving drop rates next patch, so you’ll get a bit more greens.

Thank god! I was getting tired of the blue drops! Can’t wait to see the improvement on the next patch!

You are on bad side of RNG that is all. Things change, and those lucky ones will feel bad days too. I cant complain about drop, i get at least 5-6 rares in 40 mins i spend in orr doing daily, and i run dungeons for hard cash not drops so i dont expect miracles out of chests even tho i smile when i see a rare or exotic out of it.
Not much point ranting about random luck, its like ranting about not winning lottery while your mate is getting win every month.

You know, I discovered something odd. I used to hang around in Orr a lot and help out on the events. Especially Grenth, back when people still did it. (Seriously, folks, you can’t just rush in, stand still, and tank him to death. no, we’re doing that again? And now you’re pulling him closer to Jonez. Great. And now you’re complaining in /map that it’s impossible. Sigh. I just did that this morning with four other people.)

Anyway, I discovered that after I moved back to an area I hadn’t been to in a while I was getting a lot better drops. Like, Rares and high-value Greens. I did some dungeons I never did, and likewise, I could get some pretty decent loot off the enemies.

Personal experience? Change it up for a while.

I get tons of yellows/lodestones/cores/exotics in Fractals.
In CoF1 most drops are blue/green tho, with the occasional core.
0% MF ofc.
Most people in my teams get similar loots.

You’re simply on the wrong side of RNG.

thats just it, i do change it up.. aside from the daily cof’s we are all over the place. as well as leveling alts, and running diff chars for diff situations.. ah well.. i will have to be content with cornering the market in blues…

Its really not like that because this is a game and is supposed to be rewarding to everyone investing time in playing it. the same cant be said about the lottery, its not supposed to be rewarding to everyone playing it.

Just pointing out the obvious logical flaw there.

This game is rewarding to everyone who invest time into it because you’ll always make something, just dont expect the rares and exotics, thats the lottery part of it. All depends how you look at it.

I didn’t say it wasn’t, I was simply stating that its not the same as the lottery lol.
