    Default Where's the pinks!!??

    I've been doing Mount Fang runs for about 7 hours, on and off all day. I have not seen 1 pink, or component drop. After talking to other people, no one has seen, or received on. Is this a bug, or really bad drop rate??

    Has anyone seen anything drop today??

    I feel the same way. On the road to 65 I saw pinks and crafts drop all the time. Now after 3 hours of potted runs today I haven't seen anything drop.

    Unless it happened after I logged off two hours ago, my guild has not seen a pink all day.

    Rarely dropping is legendary. Never dropping is imaginary.

    Pinks can take days to show, but there worth it. I once had a pink bow I got at lvl 17, didn't find anything to replace it till lvl 29

    I don't understand why they decided to make it THAT rare. I mean, look at cs. There are almost no items (except caps) for set pieces. Maybe we (in our guild) have just been unlucky, but they definitely seem more rare as when glyph sets were introduced.

    My point is, if they want to increase to cap every 2-3 months, wouldn't it make sense to make them a bit less rare? It might be to soon to judge if they're really that rare though. Maybe less people are farming, or keeping the pieces themselves. But if it's the case, then it will be extremely hard for people to even get an end level set, because by the time you can farm or maybe even find all pieces on cs, there would be already a new cap looming. But, as said, it might be too soon to judge the situation right

    The new scale system has messed up the 65 drop rate. My advice if your lvlin up don't bother with end game gear. Buy a 61 set. It last longer and doesn't cost as much.

    the only pinks u get are when ur lvl 61-64. there droped a lot. after i got 65 after 20h of hardcore playing elixiered only i saw 2 non-set pinks drop. but 90% of players got nothing after reaching 65...

    how jayb said, for 3months thats ridiculous low.. theres no need to be so greedy with pinks, we already paying a lot plat for grinding, at least let us some gear for it..
    armors arent any in shop...

    I hope this is not a ploy to have us buy the "new and improved" luck elixirs. I really hate saying this publically but it is time STS provides a public explaination on the topic. When Sewer pinks feel common, there is an issue.

    As Jay stated, maybe it is a bug but would be nice to hear a developer give us a heads up on whats going on. The game is going from a pick up and play feel to a typical video game. I do not care to spend hours playing, but I like to twink, pvp, and visit with friends also. Shouldn't have to spend days of gameplay focused just on imaginary pinks.

    Making the drop rate higher would lower cs prices too, making the game more accessible and rewarding for the entire community IMO. And I say this as a person who does have the gold to buy these expensive pieces, and who does make gold by merching. I'm not talking about extremely high drop rates either, just not as rare as they currently seem to be. It feels very unrewarding if you play for 10+ hours with full groups of potted players to see absolutely nothing drop for anyone.

    My personal opinion is that STS should understand that low drop rates together with short update periods, will be counter productive in the long run. IMO, people won't farm as hard anymore, when there is no reward.

    Rarity is nice, but has anyone seen their 2nd drop? I haven't seen one. Lots of 're-rolling' blah blah that looks good, but the 2nd drop that used to be lots of pinks and recipes is gone...

    Did it happen that an update came, then pinks stopped?

    It's happened before, and I don't quite get it either. When a new campaign is out, pinks seem to drop like crazy, then as it progresses, they seem to make pinks really scarce. It's happened in BS and Nuri's. I don't understand why, the damage has been done after the first drop rate. Making them extremely scarce just disappoints IMO.

    I never complain about the drops but farmed for 2 days with luck for most of the time. NO PINKS! Our group had 3 people with the luck elixir and re rolled n boss's several times but not one pink. My question would-be why put the luck elixir in the game and set it up for such failure?
