    I am fairly sure all I got from that response is, Players are obtaining drops faster then we anticipated we will be making adjustments to reduce the rate the rare items drop.
    Yeah the drop system is horrible but a lot of people are still getting top tier drops too quick, more than they planned. Next update might just kill VW completely, it's already pretty horrible.

    VW is actualy quite a success even though the drop rates are horrible, as such it makes sense to decrease drop rates asap to keep people doing it long term.

    Not a suprise with this current dev team but still kinda sad. Oh well.

    You live in a city situated on an island. If you want to drive off the island for whatever reason, theres only one bridge off the island. The bridge has one lane both ways. People complain about possibly expanding the bridge to have 3 lanes both ways, or to add a secondary bridge that leads to another part off the island. City says "no"...
    Everyone is clearly upset, because they get stuck on this bridge for over an hour, but its the only way to get their cars out of the city. Because the bridge is being used, its a success?

    It's a success because although we all hate it and are angry about it we still all do it. I can't get any drops in massive amounts of runs, it makes me angry but I still do it..same for others. In that regard it's a success because it's the worst of a skinner box system which is very cheaply made but makes us invest mass amounts of time.

    If a dev can make cheap content which is custom made to make you do it for a long long time but still get you to do it regular then they are happy, they don't care if it makes us angry as long as we do it. Salvage was a prime example. We are just back to old ways and we better get used to it, things ain't gonna get better.

    They know how angry we are about this and they basically just said "screw you" so best to get used to it.

    I'm stunned...ok, lets try this again.

    You need a job, you're looking for work. You look, you look, and you look some more...and the only job you manage to get is voluntary work with with a 1/300 chance at getting upgraded to wage work. But hey, you got a job, success?
