Guild Wars 2

Precursor drops…precursor drops….let me see. Oh yes, I don’t see any. Trying not to complain, but it appears that the idea of getting one of these drops is even more rare than hitting the lottery…unless…. Let me explain further, being an avid fan of the game since well. the beta of Guild Wars 1 and yes playing through 6 or 7 GWAMMS (I lost track) and also playing GW2 for 3400+ hours I’ve actually noticed that I’ve never really received a very nice drop (well 1 ‘kind’ of really nice 1)…even from GW1 at least nothing that made me say holy…you get the picture. Anyways being that I have over 12,500 in achievement points, maxed all crafting, completed all dungeons, I have yet to see a precursor. I’ve run the new events carrying MF of over 300+ and yet the drop of an exotic is super rare for me, though there was a span of 4 days that I received 1 each day after 3 or 4 hours of events. I did receive Spirit Links about a month ago and thought OK, very promising, but then only 1 or 2 exotics since then. But it made me reflect that after 8-9 years of solid playing this is my holy…? It seems rather ridiculous that it has been so hard to get something that is a really rare item? I’ve even tried to craft a precursor using all the rares I can craft. I’ve had to wonder if there is some other settings that we are not permitted to see or know about. I know we don’t see the diminishing returns stat, but is there some other stats we are not privy too, let say maybe a perma DR, or a friendly stat, like lets say you anger one of Anets people and they decide to smack you with a zero, for you to NOT get anything good from here on out or making it close to impossible to even get an exotic. I have to think I have been smacked with such a stat, almost from the start of GW1. I remember when I went on runs with a certain guildie in GW1 that she always seemed to get the good stuff and more of what we were hunting for instead of me, and that never changed for YEARS!! So I can only conclude that there are other stats at work here other than just a DR. I truly do love the game (noted by my hours of play on GW1 and GW2), though I am truly disappointed in the way drops are handled, that many players ARE favored over others for the good stuff, while most players can only hope that one day they are blessed with a reset of the unknown stat(s) that continually plague them into the drops of yeahhh another blue or green…oh there’s a rare, thank my lucky stars……

It does get a little ridiculous when you go to the location, paying to get there only to find there are no goggles, and then paying to leave. Three trips now and nothing. How about fixing this little bug. Thanks!!!!
