Why the raised Pink Drop Rate is bad.

The bear set looks bawwwsss!

Isn't it a win win? Farmers make their money, sets get cheaper and cheaper as time goes on, therefore more people can afford it.

Yes, I understand there is the need for exclusivity, but that's also why we have the elite cap, no?

Anyways, I believe angel gear may be better due to the increased dodge on it.

Also, do you realize how expensive it is to run those maps? Whatever your friend is saying is true, yes. We ran the full sha-bang for around 100 runs and got around 10 GOOD pinks. What did that cost us? A good 400+ platinum. The high platinum cost makes up for the high drop rate.

Thumbs up^

If you players are willing to go through that to bring pinks to the masses, the least I can do is say thank you.

Wow, players are undercutting their own prices on the same items. I might be able to get a full set and a double cheeseburger.

I thought the drop rate was better before. I mean, what's the point of "legendary" items if they're easily obtainable. What I think is a better idea is making the "junk" drops more useable, like in the Sewers. The orange and green drops in the sewers were better than the pinks in some ways.

**Bebsi** · 06-27-2012, 01:13 AM

U guys make me sick, honestly.

First the drop rate is too low, now it is too high.

The lvl71 helm u get for capping is ugly.
But now they offer a new helm the old one is better...

When I farmed for dragon loot, my kill count went from 60k+ to 81k.
That were thousands of runs without one single dragon drop.
I was constantly on thrasher but that didn't help.

When Humania came out the drop rate wasnt good either.
Now they raise the drop rate cause ppl complain and what do u do?
Complain again. I hope the drop rate lasts for at least this week.
I can't see a better way to use my plat.

As for u whiners, the higher the drop rate the lower the prices will be.
Eventually everybody should be able to afford one set, but that's not good for u either cause u wanna be super special.

Meeh, I'll go farming xD

I can't speak for anyone else, but for the record, I personally never once complained previously about the drop rate.

No matter what happens, there are people who are gonna be unhappy. That's just inevitable. There has been complaining about drop rates on every new campaign.

**styg2012** · 06-27-2012, 03:24 AM

It's good for users without platinum and bad for users with platinum. But Number of plat users < number of non-plat users

**slaveleia** · 06-27-2012, 04:17 AM

It's agreed, too much complaining...one way or the other. Nothing is perfect & you just need a balance like everything. I'd rather have some stuff falling than it being bone dry all the time. Things are great being ultra rare but it's really hard running for 3-4 hrs straight or all day long without seeing any pinks for anyone. I give credit to those hardcore farmers running nonstop...you see their names in the CS a lot. Man some of them have multiple stuff for sale even before the rate was increased.

**Subscriber** · 06-27-2012, 05:42 AM

I've never omce complained. Don't accuse me of it and when you accuse people of complaining don't ASSUME everyone complained. Half of the community doesn't get on forums, therefore they cannot express their own opinions.

Tbh im loving the drop rate. Everyone must remember that alot of pl players dont play/farm for hours, especially if they play on mobile etc, its liteally a pick up, put down game. With this new drop rate it gives EVERYONE the chance to get a set piece. So the prices in cs drop? From wot ive seen thismorning theyre looking almost reasonable now. Big thumbs up to STS for this =]

**wvhills** · 06-27-2012, 07:33 AM

So, what's the problem with everyone having pinks?

this. I only play for maybe 30-45 minutes a day. i would like a chancer at a good drop, not having to spend 10 hours farming for a chance. Evens the playing field. Yes, farmers will get MORE drops but then sell to compensate for their time lost.

**nmyxspaceship** · 06-27-2012, 09:50 AM

Yeah just leave it the way it is. Please be done with this. Who cares if the high level pinks aren't a big ticket item. My strongman set does more damage then it so just for once let everyone have a chance at having the set..

How are you not getting it??? We want the drop rate higher for US!!! Not for OTHER PEOPLE!!!

**Dynastu** · 06-27-2012, 10:36 AM

I've always leveled my bird to one or two levels below the cap. I was at the 45 cap, the 50 cap, 56 cap, 61 cap, 66 cap. And when I was level 43, level 50, level 53, level 58, and level 65. I NEVER. Had a set of my own. I mean, you can ask any pvper from the 50 cap... I ran around with my ballista and whipcord leather, eventually accumulating 23,000 deaths (third most in the game at the time). Lol. But, yeah, I've never had much gold.

Yesterday I farmed monster bash for a bit and within a few runs had made 2.5m. I also leveled to my first elite cap, 71. I'm ready to start endgame pvp again. I have never had 1m+ of my own/that I made myself for over 5 minutes... Now the prices are dropping. Perhaps I'll even be able to afford my first endgame set. Unless, of course, you convince the devs to take that nice luxury away from the people who've never been able to afford a set, Whirlz.

On a side note, I think the sets look awesome

**modredd** · 06-27-2012, 11:03 AM

I was one of the most vocal about the ridiculous drop rate and I am ecstatic about the new rate unfortunately you people who want to be zillionaires it doesn't look like it's going to happen and I don't think it should have happened in the first place.
I think Pocket legends realized today 8,000,000 gold for anything to pay is stupid and I think now everybody can enjoy the game and we can all be on the same playing field because unfortunately some people when they have the best gear think they're better than everyone else.
I think it's awesome!

**McBain** · 06-27-2012, 03:52 PM

I just think there should be such things as truly rare items, whether it's pinks or vanity stuff like the dragon sets.
