And given that so many ppl are capped they dont have a choice but to make the goodies rare. Otherwise ppl would stop running it and get bored/afk til next patch.
This is exactly what I'm talking about:

i dunno if i got the stomach to keep doing them night after night till the next patch.

so i guess if the low drop rate is an attempt to keep me playing, it has failed miserably lol.
When you make it this tedious, the players who thrive on challenge and actually beat content first are going to get sick to death of doing the same dungeon hundreds of times. It's not an effective time sink, it just drives people away. Abysmally low drop rates are the worst time sink you can employ in an MMO.
