You are the man! 300 kills in three hours? What is that, 1.6 kills per second? Come on man, make it at least believable if you are gonna fish tale us!
Your math skills astound me
actually it is concievable to get 100 kills/hr. ever heard of second account? if you go to arena you can spawn camp and get a kill every 20 secs give or take a sec. i had with listing and starting time and fool around time, 25 kills per 12-15 mins. which is 100 kills/hr.
How does 1.6 kills per second add up to 300 kills in 3 hours? With 1.6 kills per second 300 could be reached in minutes.
...am I taking things too literally again?

As stated, it's easy when you have two accounts.

I think he meant 1.6(6667) kills per minute.

That's not that high. Shard used to get triple digits in most base raids (an hour or less).
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
i really starting to think its really just luck of the draw. i set up a couple of 30 min matches today and had 60 kills each (with 2 accounts) and also all the time i spent in zones since the release and not 1 recipe. but i hear of people getting abunch of drops already. a friend of mine has like 5 already and probably the same amount of kills i got.

Might be right .... i did the same thing .... the 30 min matches 60 kills and i got 5 in one night. Did this about 4 times
I PvPed today for about 2hrs 30 min and didnt get nothing. I got a lot of kills. All I did was Kill Steal and get the final hit and hope to get a recipe.

And dont forget about how small the current pvp population is. We have to supply the market with these new IO's. To make them extremely rare will ensure the prices for them will be through the roof.
So far not 1 recipe and my kill count is well over 100.

10-15 kills would make it a little too easy to farm by an organized team in the arena, and it might even be profitable. The last thing we need is people seeing that it's easier to just farm the drops than to actually PvP. Make it 1 every 50 kills or so and we have a winner. Since i14 went live I've spent all my time in CoX PvPing (probably amounting to over 300 kills) and I've only gotten one drop. Personally I don't mind, because I spent most of my in-game time PvPing before i14 anyway. However, if the devs wanna use PvP drops as an incentive to draw a couple more people into PvPing then they might want to increase the drop rate to approximately 1 every 50 kills.

probably right. Isn't the cool down in place to help dissuade farming though?
I dunno, guess we'll just have to wait and see what the drop rate ends up like and determine from there the dev intent.
If it is intended to attract people to pvp then it may be too low. If it is intended to reward active pvp'ers then it is probably ok.
So... you can still get a drop from a kill even though its within the 10m downtime? I thought you couldn't so it would discourage farming.
if u get a pvp io you go to the market and sell it for 1 dolla! then u will be rich!
I am going to the market and bid for a few IO's for 1 buck.

How does being on a team in zone work for these drops? Is it only a chance to the one who got the kill shot?
Quick question:
To try to get recipes in arena pvp, does the match have to be rated?
I've tried a few unrated matches and got nothing, but the drop rate is so low anyway, that I wasn't sure.

nope, it doesn't need to be rated
You may have seen my post in this section already but I've been doing some testing with the recipes and I found quite a few things that are borked. My results are in this thread
PvP Recipes
This may answer some of your questions as to why your not getting a recipe.

To re-ask what was in a few posts above :
I primarily play empathy elec. When I join a team for PvP and we are duking it out - I generally deal little to no damage as I concentrate on buffing.
So when "we" defeat someone do I still get a chance at a PvP IO drop, if I didnt deal any damage to the defeated enemy ? Or is it a random check for everyone on team to see if i get something ?
- Do I have to deal a minimum level of damage to earn a chance ?
- Do I have to be the one to cause the actual defeat to get a chance ?

Nope, just be on team and be in range of the team mate who defeated the other player.

After working away in the arena last night I am beginning to think I may have been off a bit.
I have gotten four recipes in about 2 hours work and approximately 200 kills. The drop rate isn't consistent which agrees with the RNG, but they seem to be dropping more often than I thought they would be.
I am also wondering if some of them are more rare than others or if they all have the same chance of dropping.
More testing is needed...
