I believe that it will all get fixed. But not until the next big update where there will probably be changes to a lot of things. Also, I think the use of the word perceive was probably in line with what was said in the AMA. I don’t agree with the asking for concrete data when it is impossible to do so unless there is a command we can input to get said data.
They have acknowledged over a month ago their was an issue.. so their should be a fix in the works somewhere. No point releasing the fix on its own tho if the update is going to affect everything anyways.
So I guess everyone will just have to go find something else to do ingame until Feb.
From the 26th November AMA:
49. Magic find and just drops in general (with or without MF gear) seems to have been greatly altered to a minimum. Also, in the most recent patch it was noted that Veterans/Champions should always drop something at least, irregardless of what quality. Is the system working as you intended since the update or are there most definitely problems with it as it stands? Also, if it is ‘working as planned’ why the huge change in drops? Coupled with diminishing rewards it is hard to farm legitly and almost points the player to the Cash Shop instead of relying on self-reliance. Thanks in advance!
So yep you are right this is the question i have been likely dodging the most? The reason being is that it requires investigation. 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
Actually, loot isn’t working as intended:

Count me down too. I just want an MMO that isn’t arrogant and listens to their community. The entire point behind MMO is community. I’m going to look and see what else is out or whats due to come out.
Oh and concrete logs of drops etc.. didn’t know I had to write down time, zone, what i got from each and every kill. What a joke.
Oh and I expect there will be some kinda msg about how everything will be fixed, but it won’t be.. it never gets fixed, all we get is just a msg about it and everything calms down until people realise its been 2 months and they did nothing about it other than talk to calm us for a bit. Seriously, I feel like I’ve just wasted my time with this MMO.
