Guild Wars 2

I’m having serious issues farming anything anymore. I’ve posted here. I’ve reported it as a bug (about two weeks ago). I wrote to the support team. I thought they would be fixing many of the things that many players who play like I do need fixing concerning drops.

In the past month I’ve gotten 4 rares from drops. Just used the black lion trading post salvage kits on those the other day, got 0 gossamer cloth, got 0 globs of ecto.

How can we be seriously told that there isn’t a thing wrong with these in game functions when the first month of playing this game Rares dropped about 4 times a week for me and when i started farming for globs i would get at least one glob out of every single salvage of a rare?

How can you seriously tell me that drop rates are working properly when half my guild is suffering from this same problem?

MF is completely useless as a tool even for drops from regular mobs.

And I don’t care what anyone says there’s definitely a DR happening in open world because I’ll be getting things like blood and claws off mobs and then after the 8th one, suddenly it turns into grey skulls and used tissue paper. REALLY?

When I watched your manifesto I seriously thought your dev team actually got the problems faced by gatheres crafters explorers like me, that’s what attracted me to your game was that i could go around and gather the things i needed even for end game armor and gear without stepping foot in a single dungeon. Ever since about a month ago, something has changed dramatically in this game making it almost impossible to gather the items needed to get even the exotic gear and Anet is not addressing this issue.

For example, this last patch was supposed to increase the drop quality off of champions and veterans. I have yet to see a single drop from these types of enemies beyond a grey or a blue.

I was told basically in my support message that I was SOL, thems the breaks, good luck. If my luck rune was working properly do you think I’d be here complaining?

If that is your idea of a better drop rate this game is in serious trouble. I’m not finished getting my gear yet (exotic) and I was so hoping this kind of nonsense wouldn’t infultrate this title before I had the chance of even having fun with the design of your original manifesto but I can see now that the short term is the only thing that’s important apparently.

Sincerely,

Highly Disappointed Customer.

I think everyone’s noticed the lack of ecto’s out of rares by now but Support are definitely the wrong people to bring it up to. Bug ticket it instead. I know I have. This stinks of the issue that caused dye droprates to skyrocket but in reverse for ecto’s. As it stands right now getting 0 Globs is more common than getting 1.

Beyond that farming the same mobs for too long does trigger DR. You need to become mobile around the world and hit multiple spots to not trigger it. Best of luck.

Am having the same issues in the open world pve
I hate doing dungeon loved the game till they nerved the world drops and world events in orr

Played at release then took a break for a month after they nerfed the puppy out of my guard. Started again about a week ago, and since i’ve been back the drops have just been utter rubbish. I thought it was me to begin with, now I’m beginning to to think theylve nerfed the drop tables into the ground. I’m still lvling and I’m having trouble staying on top of my gear. This is on top of ludicrous crafting requirements that means Illl probly never get crafting skills to a reasonable lvl. Anet seems to have spent their time since release just patching in more grind. I’m glad I never recommended GW2 to my friends, I’d look like an idiot now if I had

you think this is a bug? lol you should have known Anet was going to nerf drop rates as soon as you saw the “convert gems to gold” option.

It’s abnormal from where it was for most of the games life so yea bug. Keep your conspiracy theories to yourself or in threads filled with em thanks theres enough garbage on the forums as is thanks to people like you.

Yeah, pretty much gave up on ever getting a Legendary as a leisure time player. Meaning, pretty much gave up playing alltogether.

Didn’t even bother to buy a shirt 2 days ago when I saw one :/
