This is my first post on these forums, and I have been an active player since pre-launch.
I have noticed a substantial decrease in drop rates over the last few months. I have never been much of a farmer, but on occassion I will travel to Cursed Shore to try to pick up a bit of karma. Pre-November update I would consistently find 2-3 rares per event chain. I have not seen a rare drop at all (in open world) in the past few weeks. In fact, I am lucky to even see greens drop. It is mostly porous bones and white trash. I have never spent more than 30-45 minutes in the area, so I can’t imagine that I should be hitting the diminishing return system.
The only exotics I have ever found have come from the Karka event chest, completing maps, and 1 from fractals of the mist (which occurred on the first day the dungeon was live and nothing since). Rares on the other hand still consistently drop for me in fotm, with at least 3-4 in a complete fractal level.
I do not believe that this problem is only for a handful of players. I just feel that most players (like myself until right now) just don’t post their concerns to the forums. They just deal with it, or leave the game entirely.
