what i heard is that you cant get pvp recipes in Arena sorry you wasted your time
You can only get them in pvp zones with a rep vaild kill
As far as I know, you've ONLY ever been able to get PVP recipes in PVP zones.

Not true.
You can still get PvP recipes in the arena. You only have a chance to have a PvP recipe drop though every five minutes because it's on a timer if you kill the same person over and over again. So you would have had only 12 chances a hour for a PvP recipe to drop. Over 17 hours, that only 204 chances for one to drop. Not that suprising one didn't drop.
The devs. did this to prevent the farming of these recipes.

People used to afk farm these in the arena with MM pets killing their second account when the arena would auto respawn them in the same spot.
You spent 14.5 hours farming recipes? Hope it was afk farming. Don't your eyes hurt?

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
is there no chance of getting a pvp recipe by killing spawns or taking down a bunker? in pvp zones i mean.
You can't afk farm it, well not really, arena match is 30 min so you have to reset it every half hour, unless they changed that (i've been gone a few months). The only other thing to point out, if this was the first time you tried farming it, is the the toons need to be close in lvl to each other (within 3 lvl's?). I was doing 50 vs 50 before.

They completely borked pvp recipes anyway. I get like 1 a week if im Lucky and that's probably at least 400 kills. Everyone in zones complains about this same stuff and it's ridiculus the drop rate. Hell when the drop rates where good at the start the top recipes were selling for 600 Mill, is it just me or isn't that rare enough why make them even more so.
Arena, Zone it doesn't matter these things are hardly dropping anywhere.

PvP recipes are only achieved by defeating other players. The Arena change was to limit farming of the recipes, and was successful. |

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

They either should increase the drop rate or make recipes purchasable by using PvP Rep points. Then there'd be a literal payoff for getting high rep. Yes, I'm aware that rep can be farmed, but since it can't be farmed in Arena, hopefully it wouldn't be a big problem. And whatever problem was there would be offset by the substantial benefit of adding a real inducement for PvPers.

Hmm.
So, if I've got half a dozen 50s, I could farm these just by trading kills with someone in RV, relogging as a different character, and repeating? I figure it'd take 5 minutes just to cycle through all 6 of em, thanks to 30s logout and zone loading time.

I say both!
Hey maybe not from Rep points alone, but they could introduce some sort of PvP merit system... One that could reward PvP merit based on the gaining or sustaining of certain Rep levels or milestones. For example: 2 merits per x hrs for staying above 100, and a one time merit reward of 50 for attaining a 100 rep which changes to... 4 merits per x hrs for 200, and a one time merit reward of 100 for attaining a 200 rep. Or they could reverse it so that lower rep players gain a larger "one time" merit reward to get stronger, and higher rep players gain less because of less need?
They could even allow for such merits to be rewarded for PvP that isn't solely dependant on Defeating other player.... maybe even from some of the Zone event stuff?
Very cool to think about. I agree that Rep in PvP should yield some reward but perhaps nothing that only promotes rep farming.... besides the badge. I think many could live with the drop rate there was some other way to attain the IOs. It would give the players that spend most of their time PvPing a slight edge because they're there earning merits to also buy the rare IOs... but it would also give newbie PvPers incentive to stick around and get better. Tack on a badge for merit gain and PvP gets a bright new shiny incentive.
"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.
I was pvp farming in the arena with my main acc and my alt account. I started around 10am yesterday morning and finshed at 2:50am this morning. The whole time i was farming for a pvp recipe all i got was a butt load of insp and some salvages. No pvp recipes. Whats the deal? Can you only get pvp recipes in pvp zones now?
