I would just think the Devs would have a general idea of an amount of rares they want to be dropping, and if that # drops to 1/4 or 1/2 of what they are expecting...they would raise the drop rate. If people leave the MA or whatever and too many purples start dropping, then they lower it again. Am I wrong to expect this type of micro managing the game economy? |

I think that is a great idea. So even if you start with a 1/1,000,000,000 chance of getting a purple drop, eventually your chances will get to the point where you will likely get one and reset your odds. Maybe it's just cause I have never had a purple drop, but this sounds like a great idea! Now wait a second for all the "experts" to come post why it's a horrible idea.
wow, that font/formatting combo is every bit as misguided & pathetic as your logic in this thread.

Because killing off the only reason hardcores play to satisfy the small minority of players who are convinced they are casual players and not people too lazy to be hardcore, despite wanting purpled out warshades, is a great strategy. Y'now, other than the fact it isnt.

We have had dev posts in the past that pretty much sum up purples =/= casual. Purples aren't intended for casual players plain and simple. I doubt the devs are going to spend any time setting up your proposed mechanic since they didn't do any of the "easier" things (standard code rant aside) that would have used existing code fragments to implement.

There is a real need for review of what is " common" or " rare" and what the cost is of all of it. It is clear that the market is out of whack. It is also clear that the market is designed to benefit gold farmers at the expense of players . I feel like the entire system should be reviewed, it is by far the absolute worst part of the game. I hate and dread using the market every time I have to do it. But maybe that is because I am not a greedy gold farmer sending my kids to college on RMT.
Working as intended, move on.

I must say that I disagree with your claim about the Market benefing "Gold Farmers" (I'm not ever sure what that means) because I by no means "farm" at all but have learned to use the Market to get the shineys (expensive or otherwise) by reading these forums. |

I can honestly say that while I do get invited to tons of farms when I am on my Kin, I have only been on a few that friends have run.
You may have issues with the Market in general but I dont think Farmers are the root cause of your concerns
Wow....this thread is still going?
