[DEV 1009] Kings update, drop rates.

[wish12oz]

So it's been a few days now, and it has become apparent that the drop rate from NQ kings on the HQ king pop, is right around 5%.
I am completely outraged at this.
The only item from kings left for me to acquire is a defending ring, it's been that way for a long time, and I was pretty happy initially with this announcement, but this is just stupid.

Let's do some quick math for a second.
99 KS per NQ pop, 5% drop rate on HQ pop, then 5% drop rate on Defending ring.
5% drop rate means 1 in 20 drops drops the item.

So how many kindred seals do you need to get a King Behemoth pop?
99*20=1980.
So you need 1,980 KS per King Behemoth pop, then on top of that, Defending ring is 5% drop rate, so you need
(1980*20) 39,600 Kindred seals per Defending ring on average.

I was expecting to be able to actually work towards this goal and have it be something that I could actually acquire, but this is to much and just downright stupid. You need to increase the drop rate on Defending ring to at least 35% or increase the drop rate on HQ pop items to at least 35%, either of these is ok with me, because then you would only need around 6,000 kindred seals per Defending ring, which is a goal you can realistically work towards with a lot of effort.

Beyond doing this, you need say that you're doing it, and give specifics. If you raise the drop rate on HQ pops, you need to tell us how much you're increasing the drop rate to, same with Defending ring. And yes, I'm mad.
