Im seriously getting very annoyed at the stupid **** drop rate of gold mats in 3-2 and 3-3, please put 2x drop at next maintenance because i did about 8 3-2 runs and got 0 golds, 2 full 3-3 runs where no gold dropped at all either.

If your going to come to post: ''bad luck'' just gtfo pleaseb:pleased

    This is the way things are supposed to be. Frustrating yes! Should you be handed mats no! Work for it, how do you think many of us got our mats BEFORE all of the 2x b:sadb:surrender

    I know, i used to be used to normal drop, then when 2x drop came here i dont really farm at normal drop anymore...

    problem of 3-2 and 3-3 is that its either a gold mat or NOTHING at all, since green mats arent worth a ****.

    Have more than 50 sorceress auras in my bank and couldnt even sell them for 10k ea......

    oh god.

    I NPC all but 4 99 greens. The few I don't NPC, for 300-1mill each.

    But yes, you can say bad luck, crappy rate, but it is normal and does suck. Bringing back 2x drop rate though I just do not think is good for the server's.

    Who knows, they will most likely bring it back again anyways b:surrender

    +1

    I don't like the prospect of only having to farm a couple runs to get a gold mat. They're supposed to be decently rare, not something you get 50% of the time.

    There is a difference in having a 50% chance per run then 18%, 18% is at 2x drop which is very rare, 82% chance per run not to get it, at this rate its 91% not to get it which means you will never get it so its not worth the time, which means there just are no ways of getting some moneyy instead of the thing that every lvl 100 does: CASH SHOPPING.

    I'm sorry, I probably should have clarified. I meant, that having a gold mat drop once every two runs is too much. I only have to run belial 4 times to finish my Calloused Lionheart Hatchets? That really defeats the purpose of "rarity".

    Not to mention, in my opinion a 9% drop rate isn't too bad. This is how things were before. I managed to farm things before, I can manage now. Just because we all got lazy during 2x doesn't mean it should stay that way.

    3-3 is an endgame instance, dropping endgame mats. It just doesn't sit well with me if you can complete a piece of gear in 2 runs.

    And to answer your question, yes there is an alternative to cash shopping. It's called merchanting. A lot of successful cash-shoppers use this. Should probably check it out some time.

    But here's the kicker to the nuts.

    TT mats are worth scrap now. You'd be lucky to even cover the cost of the subs anymore with the normal rate now. Either increase the worth of mats, or increase the rate of drops. In the old days TT runs were profitable, but not anymore, that's what makes the difference between normal drops now and normal drops back then.

    Current status quo is just.... x.x

    Well if they bring back 2x drop again, then people are going to ask why not just leave it that way, which isnt what the game originally had. Also if we had 2x drop forever, then people will get "used" to that, and will ask for more (then it will be 4x, 6x, whatever). I think we should just leave it alone, and stop complaining.

    Increasing drop rates won't make anything more profitable. Ceterus paribus, aggregate supply increases, prices will fall.

    Give the economy some time, and prices should rise again. In fact, I've already started noticing it. Antenna of Consumer of Souls were at 250k~ and Forshura's Arms 300k~ during the event. They're both near 400k now.

    OP was talking about 3-3... even during double drop rates, TT99 gold mat prices didn't suffer at all. During 2x drop event, would get at least a gold or two per run, for the most part... Some runs dropped as many as 4 or 5 golds... Now you can do 3-4 runs and you're lucky if you get one gold.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    to me seems like they actually lower down drop rates after all those 2x events.not talking about hh,i mean on general drops.before those 2x events started,people use to grind for money,and it worked..sort of.i remember i was grinding on my other character on butterflies,and dq items wasnt so rare as they are now.today i spend over 1hr at butterflies on my cleric,2 dq items,and 2 armor items,which isnt even 30k.i doubt that was just bad luck because during quests is same thing.
    if i need 60 random drops from mob,considering i dont get drop with each mob,in like 100 mobs i get 6-7 dq items..thats pretty low drop rate for me.
    it wasnt that bad b4 when i lvl my other chars,any1 else notice this?

    I have noticed it and have talked with a few people.

    My theory ->     The server reset to the "standard" drop rate versus the actual server drop rate.

    One reason I was hoping for maintenance b:surrender
