    Luck of those I know suggests otherwise, and seals are far more finite than the alternatives. Either way, proposing the drop rates are good doesn't really help the guy who's 0/way too many attempts and rather demoralized by their effort yielding nothing. My own experiences in WoE put me at over 40 runs with the only scrolls to show for it being some of the sub-90 BRD carols. While I tend to advise people looking for a given scroll to just buy it, I am conscious of the fact that if everyone just did that and stopped doing the given events, the situation won't improve any. T3 VW may be cool now, but can we say it will still be a month or two from now? And from what I see of PUGs, the shouters are pretty much Emp/Relic or GTFO. And that, for an average player, is an entirely different can of worms.

    No one gives a damn about the average player. They are neither producers nor consumers of high-end goods. They are not the people doing Voidwatch, and they sure as hell aren't the market that those people are interested in selling to.

    Fortunately, this is a video game, so all it takes to rise from average [read: piss-poor] to marketable is a modicum of effort, a willingness to learn, and an IQ greater than potato.

    Oh, and I'm sure you and I can play the "Wahh my drop rates are worse than yours" game all day. I've gone 0/200 on more NMs than the average player can count up to (see what I did there?), so cry me a river. All I see is someone too busy making excuses for themselves to go out and actually accomplish anything.

    The rest of your post is rather silly.
    ^. If you were referring to "Skills are capped", then I misunderstood you. When I say "A skilled Warrior", I'm generally not referring to the numerical value of their Great Axe skill. I'm referring to a person who knows what they're doing. And frankly, anyone with an ounce of skill is most certainly not wearing Perle or Aurore on jobs they care about. Period. Why? Because anyone with an ounce of skill can obtain better gear solo.

    The level of someone's combat skill never even crosses my mind because, as far as I'm concerned, all relevant numbers should be blue on any player who gives a shit.
