    Just like what happened to monster bash. The front runners make a ton of gold,complain about the drop rate and get it changed. While the rest of us scramble to pick up the scraps left over. Same thread dif topic.

    I feel like im repeating myself.... No doubt i am, but anyhow. like all games STS have brought out they are "pick up and play" MOBILE games. Not everyone can spend over 1hour playing, like some. I honestly like the idea of the drop rate "boosted" a lil because if gives more people the opportunity to grab the items they want. =]

    It is really tough to find a sweet spot for a drop rate when dealing with the current batch of farmers. Even the tiniest of changes gets amplified when you have thrasher teams pounding on it for 8 hours. Considering the way you guys hammered it, 12 drops is still EXTREMELY low for the amount of chances, but just might look inflated because the attempts were off the charts last night because a rarity decrease was announced.

    I hope they bring drop back down! Too many elite drops already, not very elite when some people have all of them.

    I have an idea!!! One week up... One week down... One week up... One week down. Or better yet, lets change it daily.

    I had a little left this afternoon (aproximately 10 min) on the thrashers I had from last night. I decided to time our runs and think about how many drops happened since the update. In my runs, the average time to kill from remake was 24 seconds. This is roughly 3 runs per minute or 180 runs in one hour. (Please realize I understand not all remakes run smoothly.)

    If we take into account that a group of 5 run 150 games on one Shamrock (again, we are assuming everyone has the Shamrock and not the "normal" thrasher), we are looking at 750 runs in an hour. On average, 4-5 games were going at once. This is over 6k runs per hour. If only after 24 hours, 30 "elites" were sold.. that is still very rare. (Most I saw in cs at one time was 10.)

    Currently, full crafted beats crafted+elite weapon in just about every stat for every class, as far as I could see. It's basically just to look cool, but nothing more than that.


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    So much for being "Elite" weapons, haha. Might as well post up on some Mount Fang runs and 4x Crypt until dragon drops.

    Depends on the class, because I think for archers the regular "of Tiki" bow set is better even than the crafted bow set to be honest. Not sure about other crafted sets.

    I believe most of the crafted sets and "normal" sets are close in class. Not a glaring difference like previous caps.

    well, after three hours on that super elixier still no elite drop, but it's good as it is.
    Others got a few drops and that caused the weapons to get cheaper.
    So I just bought one from CS cause I can't waste 1000 plat every day. And ofc don't have the time to play as much as the hardcore here ^_^

    I'm curious what STS will come up with next.
    Cause right now, I'm pretty bored already.
    If there wouldn't be the dragon set to hunt for I would probably take another break from the game xD
