Guild Wars 2

Anyone has noticed that the amount of ecto coming from salvage rares is still very low? i salvaged about 100 rares and get barely 20 ectos from them between yesterday and today. Is the bug back again or is just me in a bad streak?

you are a bit late, the train of complaints got a responce already from the economist on staff.

What he/she is saying is since the fix they are still low. I really can’t say as I have been selling and using the Mystic Toilet lately.

I’ve noticed they are still low after the patch as well. I salvaged a whole set of dungeon armor and two dungeon weapons and I didn’t get a single ecto. I usually get one about 75% of the time. Ectos aside, I also only got 1 run and no sigils from the same salvages, and I usually get those 90% of the time. I won’t bother ever doing that again.

Exatly, i mean, after the last patch the amount of ectos from salvage get low again, or is the feeling im geting from salvage right now.

Seems fine for me now, but I have a small sample size since the fix.

I’ve had no problems, salvaged 50 rares bought with tokens yesterday and got 51 ectos

Well, then hope is just me in a bad luck row.

Maybe, but I’ve noticed a slight decrease myself. That’s RNG for you.

Mines been lower than during the bug, but i dont have a significant sample size either. Im not too fussed mind, my luck is always abominable

Back to normal for me now, seems fixed.

Seems fine to me.

EDIT

Okay, just did 26 rare armors with runes, Level 68-80 with a Master Kit. Only got 14 ectos. Number of runes seem okay (25 of 26). I was getting multiple ectos but large runs of striking out. Random is Random but could be a first flag. However no patch on our end so I lean toward very unlucky.

Now last night I did 75 and did alrightish, 20/21/22 in 3 batches of 25, overall a a touch low but well within reason.

I salvaged 25 rares last night and got 14 Ectos so seems ok to me, also got around 30% of sigils/runes back as well using BLT kits.

Mine is a small sample size though so might of been a reasonable RNG night for me, then again salvaging is pretty much the only thing I ever seem to get a reasonable return on, everything else associated with RNG always heads south so doesn’t really bother me all that much, especially as Ecto’s are flooded in the TP nowadays.

Salvaged 24, same type of as my previous post, got 23 ectos. So my previous run was a spot of bad luck.

idk. my sample is small so I can’t say much.

It always has been low.

I’m getting roughly the same salvages I’ve been getting all along…sometimes it seems less, sometimes it seems better. That’s RNG for you.
