    Cysts usually won't start appearing unless your team size and difficulty is set to where you will have regular bosses appearing in your mobs.
    Except for some examples like the missions in the Cimerora arcs previously. Those are fun times on those rare ocassions when you have 2 cysts that appear side by side and you have to guess which one is the more dangerous of the two.

    This might be what you are looking for in regards to exact numbers.

    Pool A According to Positron, the drop rates for Pool A (enemy) drops are:

    Enemy Rate
    Minion 2.666667%
    Lieutenant/Sniper 5.333333%
    Boss/Elite Boss 7.999999%
    Archvillain either 100% or 0%, depending on the AV

    Giant Monsters do not drop Recipes (but can drop Salvage). Underlings do not drop either.

    When a Pool A recipe does drop, the Common:Uncommon:Rare ratio is: 32:8:1 (so Common is 78.05%, Uncommon is 19.51%, and Rare is 2.44%). (Again, from Positron)

    This info is found at Recipe Information

    If you read back you will see that it wasn't a blind invite and I was actually looking for an AE team when the newbs invited me....the mission they already had loaded was a Meow Farm that auto levels everyone up to the max level. I was just sharing my story of why this is a problem. You don't need to think all us are in the wrong because we are expressing our dislike for the farms that are causing problems.

    If you don't think it is damaging the game, then you should check the drastic price drops on some items like Chronal Skip.

    Last night I was shouting out with my Level 40 Scrapper in Atlas for an AE team and I got invited to one with 2 heroes that were Level 3 and neither even had a 3 month veteran badge. They were clueless and assumed I would be their powerleveling hero. Ya Right.

    Yes, I believe this AE Farming issue is a major problem and I hope the content developers can come up with viable solutions to fix it. I would guess that fixes will come with the mission editor itself to make it more "anti-farm" in nature. Sad, that farmers are ruining a wonderful playing tool for all the rest of us.
