Not everyone was able to farm 50s 60s and 70s before they made them inaccessible I have about 1/3 of the weapons you have and have 4 transmuted but use 1. I’ve gotten 2 hammers, 2 maces, and 2 torches. I don’t use hammer, mace, or torch. Don’t worry though, most of the other ones that 1 have only 1 skin I can’t/don’t use either.
38 and 48 is all I do. Do one or both every day. I haven’t gotten a skin in over a month. In the past week I’ve gotten 1 junk ring and nothing else.
I don’t have anything past 49 unlocked…..
If u do 48 with a good group it takes 1 hour 15 mins typically. NOT PUGS or ppl with under 3k achievement points.
Drop rate at 48 is definitely around 25% if not higher. I have 210 full runs done at all levels, mostly 48s. (I have 210 pristines and I have only spent 10)
I have the achievement and over 700 runs under my belt. I’ve got about 7 skins, my friend who did a similar number got none.
Your post is sort of that post from a guy who got a precursor off a dragon twice (a guildie of mine got Dusk off Temple of Grenth, and then The Legend from Karka event) saying that drop rates actually are good. It means nothing other that you were lucky.
A 25% chance doesn’t change the more times you do it. It’s the gambler’s fallacy. Some will be very lucky, others will not be.
With the amount of runs I have done: to me is a good sample size for drop rates.
Is your 700 runs 700 jade maws or is it 700 individual fractals (180ish full runs)? I’m guessing its the latter. Fact of the matter is that I think most people who are complaining about no weapons is because they are running 20s and 30s over and over. I have run over 100 (that’s 100 full jademaw runs, mostly with guildies) at 40+ and played with lots of pugs and I find that most people aren’t at the skill level to handle 48 reliably for a fast run.
You run 48 four times a week and you have an extremely high likelihood of getting a skin, but people will not do this because they cannot get a group good enough to make a 48 run efficient. (Here’s a tip: don’t play with rangers, necros and engineers)

Like I said above – I feel by far the most beneficial change would just be to make it impact a whole party (based on an average) rather than just an individual player. That is seriously all it needs. Anything else would be a needless knee-jerk.
No, that’s what Diablo 3 tried to do. It was a horrible idea.
Yeah, except it wouldn’t work like how it did in Diablo 3. MF doesn’t have the value in this game that it does there, and that makes all the difference.
I don’t see how it’s different.
People will still feel like they are penalized for partying with people without MF, just like they did in D3.
STOP COMPARING THIS TO D3, THEY ARE NOTHING ALIKE.
In d3 mf gear is equally as strong as non-mf gear 99% of the time due to the way the equipment is designed. In gw2 you are guaranteed to have to sacrifice stats to gain mf.
If a party has to choose between strong non-mf gear and weak mf-gear, they will choose the strong gear to make the run easier, if the above comments were true, people would use mf gear to farm CoF now . You guys are making an apples and oranges comparison. Making mf party wide is the simplest and fairest solution. Its dumb to try and think of an overly complex fix when making it shared would benefit everyone.
I see all this talk about how it wouldn’t work etc. but in gw1 random arenas was basically team deathmatch and it worked out great. Everyone loved it and it was a blast to play.
Honestly if you just implemented the entire pvp system from gw1 I doubt there would be manycomplaints.
I made a post about it last week but unfortunately it got arbitrarily moved and buried in the suggestion forum. I think that it would be a perfect fix. I would appreciate if you would read and bump it if you like the idea.
Staying with the trend of what anet has been doing with the tokens recently it could be 4 fractal weapons into MF = “fractal components”. You trade them to an npc along with X amount of gold/ecto/shards to “craft” into a fractal weapon of your choice.
So I understand that many are not happy about the way that fractal weapons have been implemented and many good solutions have been proposed. However I feel as if many of the solutions proposed are either too complex (New MF recipes and new components) or unfair (buying with pristine relics allows those who repeatedly run low level fractals equal access to fractal weapons).
I think a fair and easy to implement solution is to have a MF recipe where 4 fractal weapons = 1 fractal claim token, which can be redeemed for any fractal weapon. That way those who have amassed many fractal weapons they cannot use can convert them and even if you get a fractal weapon you don’t need from your daily chest, you are still happy because you are 1/4th of the way to one you do need.
This would be easy to implement since fractal weapons cannot currently be MFed and they would remain rare because high level fractal runners have more chances at fractal weapons.
Are there any plans to make ascended amulets or fractal weapons purchasable with pristine relics? Currently once you have acquired your infused ascended rings there is no purpose for pristine relics since the rings can’t be traded or put into the MF. It also seems against the spirit of the game to have players endlessly grinding fractals to get a random weapon skin drop. Are there any plans in this patch to allow us to use these for something else?
what’s your fractal level? 20?
that build is way too squishy with berserker armor, not to mention the fact that certain berserker pieces like the chest, legs and amulet are extremely stat inefficient
