Like seriously? Why are level ? bosses dropping 7 coins? Is there a nerf and an announcement page that I've missed?

    Sounds like you are just unlucky bosses, like mobs have a list of possible drops on that list is coins. Coins drop in a random range 0-x usually higher the mob/boss the higher X is however it's still 0-X so if you are unlucky you can constantly get a low amount.

    People still pay attention to coin drops? Well aside from that, I don't think it was nerfed, just a bit of bad luck. I'm always amused when you're running a TT and the mob drops 1 coin split for everyone and we're all like wooo we're rich!

    Of course we do :) coin is coin! Only time i don't like to pick it up is a good squad in frost. If i solo anything, or am running someones BH I pick up everything. :)

    I know :). But I was just wondering because they were dropping a lot more before the 623 update, especially the ? bosses in frost, but now they drop almost nothing.

    I've soloed frost a number of times on my sin and I do mean a number of times b:surrender sometimes bosses drop alot and sometimes they drop **** and sometimes they drop gear in FC b:victory though I've soloed it at least 100 times (in reality I have no idea but I'm sure I've soloed it more than that) and solo runs and normal runs I've only seen gear drop 7 times, 3 times in normal runs and 4 on solo runs.

    oh look, it's that topic again.... let's evaluate your ability to evaluate probabilities... would you bet that in a group of 24 people 2 of them have bday at the same day?

    Coins was nerfed for 1000% sure. I notice it before. 1 and 1/2 year ago I was grinding mobs on 3rd OHT maps every day. Then I had 8 months vacation from PWI.(didnt play) When I came back I was grinding on 3rd OHT map again, BUT I notice, that coins drop was nerfed significantly. I know exactly how +- I earn coins before my 8 months vacation and how much coins I earn when I came back. Difference was HUGE!!! And it was not just bad unlucky day. I tried it many times. The result was always the +-same. Coins drop from 3rd map OHT mobs was significantly nerfed. I have no doubts, they quietly nerfed many drops.

    Forget PWI, I'm more worried about nerfing in real life - headline today - economic changes in China to affect cheap goods worldwide - holy ****, if that happens here in Oz we wont be able to afford anything cause we dont have a manufacturing industry - b:shocked

    there were some very serious math heads doing statistics and probabilities wrt refining a while back on the forums, but the same logic follows for anything "random" like coin drops. You need HUGE samples to accurately get the feel for the drop rates.

    for a while i thought they upped the drop when i was getting a bunch of like 700coin drops, but actually none of us has a large enough sample size to make the 99% likely scenario estimation.

    so i also will go with the "subjective perception" call on this one.

    the birthday paradox states a 50% probability with 23 people.
