I could go and farm some more in the southern front or castrum, but why bother? Why spend a bunch of time farming up resources to just waste them for nothing? I've got a few more runs left to finish off my second weapon and then I'm done with running it.

    After a certain point really low drop rates stop becoming incentives to keep running content and become demoralising, making players wonder why they should keep bothering when after 30+ runs they haven't recieved an even halfway decent drop.
    The really irony that shows off how poorly thought out their reward structure is by selling the Fragments you purchase with cluster, you'll eventually have enough to buy the hairstyle outright in likely less time than it takes to complete Delubrum enough for it to drop. Unless you're incredibly lucky.

    Once again, this reeks of them artificially drawing things out because Shadowbringers has almost nothing left to offer until September/October. At the same time, it misses the point of incentives. If people feel they're too outrageous, they won't bother. It's why the top 100 Feast reward has never once worked to attract new players towards PvP. It isn't an incentive if no one thinks they'll be able to rank high enough to get it. Sadly, the dev time is nothing if not notoriously stubborn.

    This sums it up exactly. Spot on.
