How about this?...
They increase the droprate for "Unique/Untradable/Unmeldable" Darklight Gear but have a very rare drop for "Meldable Darklight Gear"?
Papa was a rolling stone...wherever he laid his barbut was home.
Howdy!
I checked with the development team about their plans for Darklight equipment.
They do not have any plans of increasing the difficulty in exchange for a higher drop rate. Also, since Darklight equipment is one of the strongest of all the currently obtainable gear, a proper drop rate was established with this in mind, and as such we have no plans of changing the current drop rate. However, after monitoring conditions for a while and based on the feedback we receive we will look into possible adjustments for the future.

This stuff needs to stay very rare, otherwise there's no accomplishment in obtaining it and everyone will have full darklight sets within a month. This keeps these dungeons relevant longer, so people will still be running these in later patches so they can get darklight gear.
I don't want stuff handed to me, I want to have to work for it.
Agreed, glad a dev posted this officially.THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

So to you 'work' is mindlessly repeating something umpteen times. Actually what it means is that people get fed up with not getting any drops and the game turns into a small niche inhabited by players prepared to spend days and weeks and months getting NOTHING due to asininely low drop rates and huge competition.This stuff needs to stay very rare, otherwise there's no accomplishment in obtaining it and everyone will have full darklight sets within a month.

I'd rather that then doing the event like 10 times and having everything, then waiting 1.5 months with nothing to do until the next patch hits so I can get a full set of the "new best gear" in 3 days.So to you 'work' is mindlessly repeating something umpteen times.

People bitch about time sinks all the time, but I'd much much much rather have time sinks than having everything handed to me.
Wow thank you!!!Howdy!

For once you guys have made something that will keep the decent people playing the game for more than a week after the update!!!
Great job!
While it is very powerful, it's not nearly as powerful as triple-melded gear. Thus, it's not THE strongest of the all the currently obtainable gear. It's mostly just a nice monetarily cheap (not time cheap) item that one can use instead of saving up for the real most powerful items. If you can't see that your customers are starting to get fed up, then I'm concerned with the future of this game.
