    Default About drop rates.

    Why do you increase drop rate significantly.
    It causes significant drop in prices of the arcane weapons.
    Why can't you make it gradually rising so that we can get stable prices from start.
    Now many people including me lost a lot of gold.
    Not to mention many people who spent tons of plat in the beginning.

    Again please choose your words carefully.
    I'm not complaining,I'm asking/trying to understand/suggesting why is there not a gradual loot chance established compared to a drastic rise/fall in chance.

    Its a clever business strategy to initially have the drops very low In the early days of an expansion, such as more players are enticed to open more locks seeing the ridiculous gold prices of gears.

    Then, they'll drastically bump up the drop rates whenever the expansion is coming to an end, and is starting to prepare for a new one, such as players are still encouraged to open locks seeing the good odds.

    If the drops of the best gears are held constant for every lock, then only a few players would open the locks later in the expansion seeing the gears exceptionally stable, reasonable in price.

    For our perspective, It's a complete scam, and just a way to squeeze our pockets everytime.

    We are completely deluded by the 'Arcane' rarity not being so 'Arcane' in the later times of every expansion. For those who buy them for gold early in the expansion are scammed later, same as those who open them for plat early in the expansion are scammed.

    And to add up to the mix, they'll find a way to destroy these gears by nerfing/weakening the procs in the higher levels, to make way for the 'new' weapons, and the cycle repeats.

    Yes I think this is exactly what it is.
    I have always thought events we're supposed to be fun and can add to something--> an enjoyable experience , a time killer and a medium to make some currency.

    But this event made me lose over 40m gold , all of what I ran over 1.4k times farming the egg farm farming... energy essence day in and out...
    This is one of the events that is dreaded for people who put so much of plat to get some thing.

    It's sad..i would've asked them to give a warning next time to warn all players who currently own to sell them off since a punch in the gut is coming.this should at least be done by sts as we don't know what's the chance of looting when , where, and how of those locked mechanics.



    Anyways thank you for the ironic MARVELOUS event.

    It has always been like this. Last marvel event was exactly the same. Thats how the the game works. I have bought my skratch with awakes for like 120m and guess what, instead of complaining in forums im happy that more people are able to play with those weapons and have faster runs on average overall.

    They first release the weapons at a slow rate so that quantity is low and demand is high through out the year. In their final events before new expansion is out they will increase the quantity of these weps by a lot so that price does not go unreasonably high in the future. Ebon weapons would probably be 4 times the cost now if they did not do this last year which I did lose 210mil last year from the ebons dropping so much.

    One point of fact to consider is: the odds for looting 76 Arcanes have increased steadily with every event locked since their initial release.
    Clearly the asking prices have not kept pace with this availability. Likely reasoning for this is the fact that lock opening has been somewhat inconsistent this year. To take responsibility for that specifically: if I made every crate in every event extremely compelling as to keep the unlocking activity consistent, the gradual increase in availability would be much more obvious to you. Instead we have several events in a row where lockeds aren't such a big deal and then we get Marvelous and almost everybody is opening at least a few of them.

    The drop rate is what it should be. You should have thought better and not have bought an OVERPRICED item. Naturally it will drop, this isn't a punch in the gut, you walked head first into a wall.
