Correct, but you could increase the random drop chance by increasing the amount you killed. So more kills = better chance. The timer restricts the number of kills. I'm just saying the changes they made will not help in any significant fashion.

At the con farming my alt I was indeed getting a kill every 5 seconds.

Zonal or arena makes no difference, same 5 min timer. Without a major increase to drop rates its pure luck.

The change on test fixes nothing. You are still restricted to a timer. One chance at a recipe every 5 minutes. So 10-12 kills per hour vs the 720 per hour the old way. The old way yielded an average of 2 recipes per hour on that 720 kills. So how many do you think will drop on 12 kills per hour without a major drop rate increase?

Its really nice that now the timer does not restart with each kill so it is a true 5 minutes between rep but it does nothing for recipe drops.
