when it comes to the drop rates, 1 thing i can say about them....

blame it on having NO COOLDOWN for re-entering upon winning

if there was a cooldown that was longer then a few minutes, id be all for them upping drop rates so people didnt have to do it so much, but when you can go in 2-3 times an hour....well....

thats a big thing people dont think about too, when you look at other games especialy

lets take 11 and its main bosses

yes you can do them as many times as you want and have materials to spawn them(like sky and sea mobs and such)
and they have a 100% drop rate of what, 2-3 random items off their loot list?

so you spend a ton of time farming, you go in, you get some drops, may not be what you want, but you get them


now lets look at wow, you can go in once a week to a dungeon, each boss has a 100% drop rate on 3 items, and then you gotta wait a week to do it again




now can you imagine how far all that content in those games would go if there was no wait in between any of the fights, and you could just do them over and over and over and over again without limit til you get what you want? people would throw a fit about their being no content to do anymore, and itd run dry that fast.


thats the issue we are having here. granted we havent gotten any huge dungeons yet(darkhold woulda been nicer if they gave us a reason not to zerg to the end like we do and skip everything)

so right now, we basicaly got a dungeon with chests to run to, and 4 bosses as far as instancing goes

and outside that, we have farmable coffers/bosses in strongholds


nothing of which has a cooldown, so there is nothing to stop people from buring out on it as fast as they can do it to themselves


i think that there is the biggest issue
