Are DC just supposed to be pay to play?

    yeah, today is the 5th day I've been running it, and since I cut bakc on my other daily <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, I managed to run vilithrax 20 times today, in a row, back to back, and never saw anything but rocks and coins from him. Thats literally 60+ runs with nothing on my DC, I logged onto my TR just now, got a **** bone again on his second run.

    So over this right now.

    The numbers in the OP look funny until you run some searches in the AH and see that what is happening across the board with Draconic pricing is that thin markets (very few items listed) are always producing very high prices. While DC did turn out to be on the higher side of prices for a complete 4-piece set on the four classes I looked at (SW 516K, CW 550K, DC 665K, GWF 920K), it was not really an outlier the way that GWF was - with some pieces unavailable for buyout at all. And, looking at the dispersion of prices for individual pieces within the set for each of these classes, it looks like the differences are all driven by how much market activity there is.

    That is, whenever a piece had fewer items listed than the same piece for other classes, prices were much higher. So, maybe there is a very slight tendency for the DC items to not yet have had as much price discovery as the same pieces for some other classes. That could, of course, be a mistaken interpretation based on how thin the markets were at this one time of observation. But, it would be consistent with a scenario where all the classes get equal drops and the recipients are a tiny bit more likely to hold onto the DC drops because the class just got updated and so interest in playing it is higher.

    Maybe the drops arent skewed, but I drop two TR boots in three runs, and my buddy drops a set of boots in 4 runs with his HR, and a set of boots on his first GF run, and it all seems pretty skewed to me, especially when I have bveen running with my DC for 4 days or more, 10+ kills a day, and never seen a set of boots, bones or anything but coins and rocks.

    To contrast that experience I got 2 boots and 1 gauntlet or vice versa in my first 3 runs with my DC. There's one peice I've never got on my GF despite more attempts.
