Wonderful map. Back when I was counting my purple drops, it was ~3x as lucretive as my (Fire/Kin's) Behemoth map.

No not at all, I believe the developers are out to lunch when it comes to the in game economy.

At this year's Comic-Con, I had asked Dark Watcher if there's was any trend analysis performed of the game's economy and his response was basically "no, not really". I also asked if there was any concern given to the ever-increasing amount of influence and infamy in circulation, and its effects on the market, and he felt that increases to supply in certain areas would help keep prices in check, rather than removing inf from the game.

Eh, I turned off reputation on day 1, right after my first post on the new boards. It felt kinda "High School" to me and I've been out of school (including college) for quite a bit more than double the number of years that I was in (ie: I'm an old guy)

They earn more in Defeat Inf, and the tickets can be worth significantly more. |

The devs could up the drop rate by 20-40%, but if folks aren't running anything except AE, they will NEVER see a purple drop.|

Although the purples are supposed to be "super rare" I think some drop rate tweaking would be in order, apocs have gone up 300 mil from prices before MA.

The issue isn't really the rate, if folks don't run content where purples drop they don't get purples.
