I know that this suggestion has been made at more than one point before, and I don’t wish to dredge up any kind of back and forth on it, but…
Consider removing or reducing ( maybe is a dynamic way? ) Diminishing Returns on loot from monsters. If it comes down to a question of bots / extreme farming type behavior for days on end, or something, sure. However, I know that there are a great many ways that we’re able to enjoy the game and procure resources…if I choose to help make a given set of things extinct for a few hours on end, I really don’t want there to be any hint of DR during a day of work and play.
Again, I’m not a developer, and I know that there are some outstanding factors that may tie into this – in short – finding a way to seriously tone this down would be pretty nice.
