I am glad I found this thread as I have been hit by DR for first time last night and I am thoroughly upset that it is affecting a legitimate player as myself. I thought I could farm CoF 4 or 5 times for the money, but when I went on my thief to level him I suddenly saw a reduction of 95 percent of everything from doing an event so I had to axe that idea and go to bed.
I woke up and did my daily routine and when I get on the kitten thing is still in effect? Wtf is this? What band of chimpanzees thought it was a good idea to leave this code in effect after the bots that were abusing farming are gone? I can not play my characters for quite sometime now and it is starting to make sense why the tier 6 materials and precursor items are so out of whack. It is amazing to me that Anet talked about high precursor prices, but they refuse to treat one of the most obvious of contributing factors. I would be laughing right now at this whole thing if I wasn’t so frustrated at it.
