I beg to differ, we have people with over 20 runs during DD without a drop, none of us have seen a single T2 drop in over a week and we run many during each DD we're online for; usually several groups at a time.
There really should be a timer on posts, no more than 3 in zone chat in one minute or something like that; it gets so annoying that I usually just click my guild tab which doesn't have any of that trash.
I do pretty much the same, do the sparks. If I have a companion to level the 3 quests in each area can be done quickly and its very good xp..(wink wink nudge nudge...)
Naa it was crucial that the Zen rate be increased for the weekend to maximize their earnings.....they took it down for a quick patch... =) Actually the shard has been acting freaky since the patch.
