why are minion drops so rare?

[Avidria]

"I can finally have stuff because I am too lazy to work for it."

So increasing droprates equates to them handing things out for free now, and mashing your head against a wall of rng qualifies as work?

What?

We’re planning to increase the rate in which you can obtain some of the rarer minions, so players can also use them to further enjoy Lord of Verminion in Patch 3.1.

could you please make the CT minions guaranteed at least ? Since we can't trade them, it would be nice to at least not fight RNG to see them drop THEN on the dice roll. Not even counting the awful queues to enter the instance.

Please leave them be..... Let people want things and NOT get them just because they decided to show up and do the event. Stop making participation prizes and start making things people lust after. The whole point of taking pride in having rarer minions is that they are RARE. If everyone had them then what is the point? Which is essentially much of the frustration with this game. Just because you do it doesn't mean you should get something for it, you should get a chance yes, much like ponies, but it definitely shouldn't be a high one. It makes all the frustration with wanting the ponies a far better pay off when they actually get them.

much like ponies

maybe if minions followed ponies then sure. untradable which means unsellable so collectors can have their joy, and those only in it for profit cant get greedy.

knew a guy who rolled and won a pony he already had. couldnt even remove the whistle from his inventory permanently losing a slot. make this happen too

I would agree with you, but quite frankly the market in this game is absolutely atrocious. There is nothing worth selling that people have a demand for. The only things that sell are, Glamour, Minions, and House Decorations. There isn't a point in purchasing anything else in this game, and to take away another means of profit for the market would just be horrendous. I'm not crazy about a player buying their way to exclusivity, but it is a necessary evil

To keep them relevant
Would you even want the minion if it didnt have the rare aspect behind it? Personally i dont want any minions period i get glad when I can sell em cause they have literally 0 uses im glad were getting a use for them soon

The problem with bad drop rates is that if you make them too far you'll just frustrate your players.

I'm certainly not doing Garuda Ex ever again just to try and get a feather.

This is why RNG drops suck.

I lost around 85x the roll for Dark cloud Minion - Puff >_>
Now its even way more impossible to get her because that dungeon died out. Not any1 playing it anymore! >_>

This is my problem, too. I hope 3.1 makes the Crystal Tower raids somewhat enticing again, otherwise I'll never see a Puff of Darkness on my shoulder.

It's to keep people running the old content. Period. People like minions, people don't need to run Aery more than once. Toss in a minion so people go back to it ensuring people keep queuing for it to get new players through the story.

Though this could be solved by just adding an ARR roulette 15-50 and a Hard Roulette 51-59 in addition to Expert.
