    Question Drop Rate

    Do you think the SL and PL drop rates should be higher?

    Farming is powered by Persistance and Motivation, increasing drop rates would make them too cheap, and the motovation would vanish.

    There is a point where difficulty vs reward can be demotivational.

    Well I put in 24 hours of farming for vanities THIS weekend alone and I got nothing. That is just a bit ridiculous. The worthlss drops arent even covering my stim consumption. And during those 24 hours I got something like 800-900 drops. I've been grinding numa one specifically and I have gotten about 13 green drops out of the lot 7 of which were scavengers rifles one scrapper and 4 crafting mats. I've spoken with many friends who've never seen a green drop and they have 200k+ kills or tried grinding it for a month and still got nothing.

    At this point I have more faith in santa claus.

    Nah most new players cant afford them when they reach the cap as they are now.

    Maybe if they had mobs drop gray and white trash, and the boss drops were all decent

    Then you need another source of motivation. For example: people telling you they recently got a pink, or "that" map drops more pinks than the "other" one.

    Absolutely and 100% YES. The economy is getting out of control. 3mil+ for a longbow? What will happen with Humania? The items are getting so high only merchants can get the "good" sets. It's also practically impossible to get a pink. If the drop rates don't increase in the next few updates, one item will cost a whole money cap (9mil). It doesn't make sense to me.

    Not all players enjoy becoming a merchant. I can see the point on both sides of the argument and am at a lost on how to satisfy both styles of players... Perhaps adding these items for plat: but that would likely be very unpopular with the big merchants.

    OMG yes! This has got to be fixed somewhat! I'm a merchant with about 500k gold and I can't even get some of the good stuff. :P
