Guild Wars 2

I was farming scales yesterday was getting my usual amount then all of a sudden around 11pm EST, the mobs seemed to drop nothing 3/4 of the time. I went to do some dungs because i though it was DR then went to bed, came back this morning to farm a buncha scales again. Yet again, 3/4 of the mobs dropped junk or nothing at all for straight up 3hours. I though it was bad rng but apparently friends have been getting the same garb.

Not sure if ANET is messin around with MF or loot tables but the drop rate of even large scale is pretty horrid.

Hopefully it’s leading the removal of the DR in the world map (yet keeping the DR in dungeons so that certain paths aren’t chain farmed all day). I understand trying to create a balance of risk/reward, but it shouldn’t try to strong arm folks into dungeons/fractals if they prefer farming/events.

DR needs to be completely removed from the outside areas. It’s absurd that they penalize the folks that want to grind. It’s the lazy man’s way to combat the gold farmers and botters while hurting the legitimate players. Oddly enough, it doesn’t bother botters at all since they aren’t even at the computer to worry about it so whatever they have when they return is a bonus.

Agreed, no DR in FOTM, no DR anywhere

DR wasn’t enabled to combat bots. It was to make sure you use the gem shop. They keep lowering the drop rate to find out what our limit is. You want DR to go away? Stop using the gem store.

This.
Do you really think it was to combat bots? It hurts everyone, bots and players alike, so in the end it doesn’t change much for a gold seller if he made less gold, because everyone else did, and the situation for them is exactly the same as before.

It’s becoming a serious problem. They keep messing around with it and making it even more nerfed and they’ll have a mass exodus away from this title very quickly. People don’t like to be manipulated for whatever the intentions.

I just hope they clear this up correctly and soon.
