Disgruntled 56 Farmers

[MrGoober]

We r dedicated 56 farmers but the drop rates have seriously declined. If it's all 56 or lower hardly anything drops but the minute we have a 57 or higher, here come the pinks and crafting items. This needs to be fixed.
We ran 25 Lions Dens last night with 1 crappy pink drop from the mini boss. Not to mention how many runs before we started counting.

P.S. we r looking for more 56 farmers to run with. Add myself, MrGoober or Bluiydbabe.

Done with my rant. Good day.

I think you may have just ran into some bad luck! I am hoping your luck changes. I YYZmage is still 56, and may stay there. I added you tonight. Maybe our luck will change!

This makes a little sense to me. The drop rates for lower level stuff does "seem" to change when you hit a higher level...

This might just be a false observation on my part, but it sure seems so to me.

idk just gotta say the drop rate is insanely low
if u check cs theres barely 10 items of any glyph set items (including 60s!!!)
which means out of all the people who do pl
about 10 of each are gotten per day (thats loooowwwww btw)

I don't know but I've been getting quite abit of pinks when I'm level 1-49 but once I've gotten to 50 I've found 1 pink ( I'm 52 now) . Maybe this happened after the recent update?

Well if you don't know, IF all partipants r 56 or less then the drops r 56. 56 is rare. Hence y we farm.

I have a hard time understanding the purpose in farming for level 56 and 58 pinks since they are typically less valuable than level 60 pinks. I am grateful that there are still people who do it, though, because having 56 and 58 items available in CS helps lower level players with better gear and gives all players less expensive options to equip glyph gear.

Less valuable? Really?
Just like the 51 or 53 sets?

Agreed. Gotta say if IF we get another wand or staff of Charmin at 56 will be AMAZING.

We'll do it.

I dunno, there's some people that are happy that the drop rates have been needed as this makes the rare items, actually rare. Then there's the farmers who now have a harder time making $$.
I'm sort of in the middle, oh I loved it when the maps were first out and glyphs were raining cats and dogs. Have to say, I earned more than I probably ever will in pl. But then the glyphs did seem less 'rare' then they should have been. It was too easy to get drops. And the pl economy was getting crazy, from 12mill x-bows and whatnot.
Then the nerf happened. People started to complain about drop rates and how they didn't drop as often as they did. I think the drop rates for the good pinks should be left as they are, some where around the drop rates of good sewer pinks. But the scrap pinks in nuris, well that's another story.

Cough bs cough cough

I don't know what kind of, um, "stuff" you've been fed, but yes, less valuable.

[pastrychef]

Just a small sample... Btw, you may want to fix that cough of yours.

56 Gear doesn't seem to be as valuable yet, but its possible that may change. It's also possible it may not, in which case, you're farming just for personal interest

Pastry is right, 56 isn't as expensive as 60 gear, when talking about set pieces (strongman, charmin' and obedience).

And honestly, I doubt that will change anytime soon. It's probably because lv55 gear is so cheap that lots of people don't upgrade until they're 60. Lv56 gear arguably gives only a marginal increase in stats, as compared to 55 gear. That wasn't the case for 50->51 gear. And don't forget lvl 60 gear can be crafted into demonic. All these things make me think 56 gear will never be as 'hot' as 51 gear is/was. But, then again, I could be wrong.

[MrGoober]

I don't check strongman sets very often but I do charming and obedience. 56 charming pieces have been equal to more than the 60 set. Obedience has been pretty close to equal.

But... the purpose of this thread was to point out that if group was all 56 or less the drop rates were substantially less and was curious if anyone else noticed this. Wasn't meant for a flame war about cs.
