Well ... after spending a few hours of my time doing Hurkan for the third time (getting bullet and grip first two times), and spending 65k bayld on a pop, I was granted the ultimate of gifts. It was ... part iron ... part sand ... could it be!???
IRON SAND!!!
Woot, I feel so accomplished. Thank you SE for wasting my time once again, absolutely love it. I don't care that I didn't get a Scythe, Axe, Hat or Boots from this, because the Iron Sand will keep me happy for a long time.
I have had so much fun today, I don't think I can bring myself to go back until Wildskeepers are changed, otherwise I may have some kind of overload! I just can't understand why people are doing these reives less and less nowadays despite the huge colonization rates! You got to be crazy not to want some Iron Sand!
They need to make the quest in the Library repeatable, ensuring rewards for all participants. I'd think a reset each conquest tally would be appropriate.
Iron sand!?! YOu lucky dog. I keep getting pebbles lol
The stupid thing about all of these systems for giving us drops is that just like VW & WoE, only the first item matters so far as the real rewards go, after that every single item you get is nothing but crafting items, and since everyone is getting the same junk, its never going to amount to anything.
Something really has to be done about the drop conditions for these, i just got my 6th 50k Bayld Pebble.. i have had 0 capes and 0 drops from my last 6 Hurkan runs. Why cant there be a KI exchange system, kind of like NNI, Kill it, get your KI, go exchange it for something you want. I have no issue with the farming Bayld part but getting a group together to do these things when you have less than 700 people on the server at any given time is no easy task and when you get nothing at the end of it, it makes it pointless doing it at all.
Besides: There are still people out there who NEED these, but no one want to do them anymore because they dont get a reward. Foret de Hennetiel is like once in a month on Asura, Yumcax maybe twice because people hope they might get something... Achuka ist abandoned, Hurkan.. maybe twice a month too. If you really plan on doing these for the first time "now" ..you have to be online 24/7 because you might gonna miss it and then have to wait another month or 2 ..
Thats the facts + very poor loot / rewards = abandoned WSR and very unhappy Players
