Guild Wars 2

One strange effect I have seen was that when I did get a drop, I would get a small streak of drops and sometimes duplicates.

IE:
- No dye drops for hours and then all of a sudden I will get 2-3 dye drops in a span of a minute.
- Two of the same thing one right after another. For example: two yellow large skulls dropping from two mobs, one right after another.

Chris covered this in the AMA:

Vet and Champs should give good loot and there are a number of reports on perceived decrease in the frequency of drops. I will be discussing this in depth with the Production and Design team tomorrow and we will hopefully have more info soon.

Thanks for this… I hope there will be more information soon because this is pretty serious for me. It really seems to feel bugged.

Outside of dungeons, over the last week I must have killed over 30 veterans and champions. Most of them were with friends, some where with large groups of 10 or more. Ultimately, I think I got 1 trash item and 2 blues.

Fairly frequent I will kill a group of guys containing trash mobs and a veteran and everyone will have loot (mostly garbage) except the veteran.

What is the logic behind this, or am I just having a bad week? I would love to see a guaranteed drop on things that take me upwards of 10 minutes to kill. I don’t even care if it’s a white item. Just SOMETHING! Right now, I almost avoid those mobs unless it’s for an event where I know I will get XP.

This is happening to me as well. This only started happening after I switched to Windows 8. I will try to lower my sound quality this evening and see if that helps.
