You consider a drop rate of 15 IOs out of 1400+ kills high?
Thats 1 drop per 95ish kills
Edit: A decrease in drop rate would lead to an increase in cost just so ya know. Not saying I at all want it to happen as I see the drop rate rather low as an incentive to PvP
Whenever I see posts saying "I made a billion doing x" or this was my get rich scheme, my first thought is someone wants to buy things cheaper. Not saying thats what you are doing Snappin, just thats what happens after. Someone runs a bunc of Dark astoria alch silver posts, the price drops briefly, someone posts essence of the furies is running high, the next thing you know it drops like a stone.
In this case if people flock to this it will likely kill the price of some pvp IOs short term.
I would love to see a bunch of people hit the PvP zones in hopes to get some drops. It would bring some life into a dying PvP community

Like the devs care about one dudes drop rate when they can sift and sort numbers from the whole game at will?

lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
I tried grinding out a pvp IO this weekend. At my level, I couldn't get kills that fast and it's just not fun or time-efficient. I'm gonna have to get some more levels before I really attempt this seriously.
On a side note, the PBAoE pvp set (forget the name) is ridiculously cheap for how badass it is. I'm thinking of slotting 5 of these (the 6th is the proc and THAT on'e expensive...) in all 4 of my PBAoE's on my PBAoE blaster. If I could grind out the proc too, ouch! That's a lot of -resists!

I would too but its likely they would just hit the arenas. Its much better for farming.
7 hours of mind numbing boredom
3 accounts at $15 each
15 pvp drops for around 2 bil
If you have the patience, time to waste and real money to blow farming pvp ios to make fake game money I say you earned every cent of that 2 bil.
You also earned the right to my sympathy

I farm while talking to my customers. The customers are much more mind numbing.

It isnt boring if you are actually in it to accomplish things other than getting drops. If you read my OP, I was in the arena to look at some numbers and check how DR/Travel Supression/etc effects my toons. The IOs were a side effect. I was running test to see if my procs were working correctly or if they were even worth having in some builds.
I had no clue that my Regen Scrapper gets his regen lowered by travel supression, did you? During my combat monitoring I noticed my regen dropping by a few points when I attack or get attacked. Check the Combat Monitor and it shows my regen getting supressed by Travel Suppression. That is news to me.
If you have the patience and time to waste reading a post but not the time to absorb and understand the content it is providing to you....
You also have my sympathy

yes, a couple of minutes per login is more tedious as running the Quarterfield TF.

PvP IO farming is probably the lowest intensity farming you can do in the game. It's probably something relaxing for people to do while their wrists heal from intensive grinding in the AE/CimWall/whatever.
@Mindshadow
It doesn't sound like Snappin' was even farming- he was testing stuff and the drops were just gravy.
Very, very lucrative gravy. =P

I kinda was kinda wasnt
I swapped toons around each time so I could see how DR effects them all but I was non stop killing. Jumping from target to target. I did take the time to turn on shields on alts here and there to see the changes but once I started the attack I didnt stop until the target dropped.
Some of my testing was just seeing how fast I could drop a buffed target. I even clicked DP+IH a regen to see if I could overcome it with my Claws/Regen and I did. MY Broad/Regen could not drop my Claws/Regen nearly as quickly

Lately my global list have been a little empty. When no one is on I always end up in the arena running test and checling numbers and such. Sometimes I load 2 accounts sometimes 3. Well this weekend I started early Saturday morning doing just that and like last weekend I got a few PvP drops.
This time I decided to see how many I could get so I kept going right back in the arena as soon as I was done. I was getting anywhere from 95-105 kills per 30 minutes when I had 3 accounts running and around 55-60 with just 2. I did this non stop from 6am to 1pm. End result was 15 PvP IOs. Two of which were the Panacea +hp/+end which got 400 mil each. I had 2 Panacea triples for 120 mil each. A few others went for 20 mil and one for 60 mil.
So by the middle of the day Saturday I ended up making 1,120,000,000 influence and still have over 650 mil still in ww up for sale. I am now addicted to PvP IO drops and the inf they make me. So if you are someone on my global and see me in the arena you better catch me when in between matches because making 1 billion plus a day is something I can get used too
Cheers!
Edit: This is all on Triumph server btw so if you are looking for a few of these and didnt want to pay WW prices hit me up I may have what you are looking for
