I'm not complaining but the game is going to lose even more people from lack of content than lack of drops. If anything, this is another irritating timesink but oh wells.
    I think this "lack of drops" complaint is a form of "lack of content" though....
    there is very little content... so to make gear harder to get, SE has to lower the drop rates to force you to keep repeating the same content over and over....

A significantly larger percentage will quit if they run out of junk to do. It isn't fun, it certainly isn't ideal, but it might be necessary.
    Honestly... if there were a million and one things to do in this game... then the DL drop rates would be higher because they wouldn't expect people to put that much time into one dungeon... and thats what has people ticked off
    You are punishing players because YOU failed to add enough content to please the playerbase and keep them busy

    Yup. This is entirely a function of content - I don't think anyone can disagree. It sure is irritating but I think we're stuck with it whether we like it or not.
