It's understood that as a game developer you will introduce player frustrations, both intentionally and unintentionally. The intentional frustrations are used to get the player to perform a specific action, like buying a bigger bag because the inventory is too small. However the issue that many are finding is the incredibly small rate for the hunt lures in Omu.
I've spoken to countless people in several alliances about the drop rates from Omu and also experienced myself where farming the bears; I've killed no less than 42 Rotten Sun Bears and not one lure item has dropped, not one. The problem with this frustration that you might hope would keep the player engaged to play your game and not those of your competitors is far too much. You have not given the player a way to alleviate this frustration. It's been tested with have shrines empowered and without them empowered to increase the drop rate but this just doesn't seem to help.
Many of my friends and guildies are already playing other games now and have been driven away from this mod due to these drop rates. I suggest that you increase the rates to alleviate this frustration before you remove more of your fan base and your revenue stream.
