I wouldn't bother with the debate but it did occur to me some people might enjoy doing so.
total kick to the gut

What I did: I farmed for about three-to-four hours, 8-man spawns. I did a quick ITF. I did three Ouroboros arcs. I did three radio mishes and a Steel Canyon Bank mish. I did a MoSTF. What was dropped: A Hecatomb dam/end A Unbreakable Constraint hold/end A respec recipe 4 Tempered Readiness recipes (I'm collecting them for a pair of ice blasters.) It was, perhaps, one of the most productive days, in terms of drops, I have ever had. I can't tell you if drop rates are borked or not, but they don't seem to be so to me. On the MoSTF, I got the respec recipe, someone else got another good recipe, and there was little else. Sounds about right to me. |

But no, in playing enough to get 2 Mil+ non-AE prestige since their arrival, I've never seen one drop. I'm pretty sure they just magically appear at the BM/Went.

But otherwise, speaking in general the gullibility expressed by many people in these forums amazes me. I honestly wonder if a lot of people here believe every last thing the media tells them; because no one ever, ever fudges the truth, obscures facts, lies, or puts a spin on things, right....? This mindset seems incredibly fatuous to me.
And yet it is strongly endorsed. I can say nothing but "wow" as I back away slowly.

Being critical of information is necessary, but the rampant amount of paranoya you have displayed over something as minor as this is astonnishing.

People who believe every last thing they're told tend to end up dead under the jungle sun with an empty paper cup fallne near their cold, outstretched hand containing traces of grape kool-aid at the bottom. Or worse. History has shown us this many times.
Luckily this will not occur over anything to do with an MMORPG, but its still bad policy.
But in order to truly, truly insult me you're gonna have to learn to spell better; I simply cannot take a flame like this seriously when it is so badly spelled. Thanks though.
It would almost be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and sad.

Cheap attack is cheap, sweetcheeks.
I wasn't trying to insult you, nor flamebaiting, I was just making an observation.
But obviously you rather make fun of the foreign guy with his funny accent than say something sensible, so I'll leave you be.

In other news... curiously, I got a respec recipe drop today. In the reactor room on the respec trial! I dunno who's buying these things for 100 million - I use a respec whenever I want one, and between free, veteran, and earned respecs I can't think I have a toon with less than three in reserve.
Don't ya love it when someone attempts to neg-rep you but can't because their rep is too low for the system to consider them worthwhile?
I sure do.

Because why, there's some nefarious scheme hatched by the devs to DEPRIVE us of our rightful drops? To what end? They have 100% control over all aspects of the game- if they wanted us to have fewer drops, they'd just lower the drop rate and tell us to pound sand when we squealed. No need for black helicopters and Illuminati plotting.
You laughed when I called your pattern of reasoning "pathological" earlier.

They call it "healthy skepticism" for a reason. People who believe everything they hear end up dead by their own hand in a room with a bunch of others, also dead, all wearing the same style tennis-shoes. A comet-"spaceship" swung close to the earth to pick 'em up, you know. So, they had to go. *cue the Star Trek theme*
Riiiiiiiiiiight. That's a dramatic example, but no less so than yours. You don't like my opinion? Cry me a river.

My point here is that when you attack other people, you should expect whatever you get in return.
With that said, speaking in general I will point out that dogpiling has never one single time changed my mind on these forums. Never has. Never will. Those thinking it will work this time are doomed to frustration. Sorry. In fact I rather enjoy my status as forum lightning-rod: all I have to do is start typing and people go literally berserk with fury.

So, wait, alleging that the Devs secretly lowered the drop rates for some esoteric reason and then suggesting when they finally announce that they've actually located the buggy code that they're actually trying to cover up a stealth nerf is not a conspiracy theory?|

It's actually pretty much a classic example of a conspiracy theory. Then again, i've seen you be so far wrong about other things that you weren't in the same hemisphere as right and then when your error was conclusively disproven aggressively accuse others of actually being the wrong ones, backpedal, sidestep and deny your error that i'm not really surprised. Ah well, we need a few nattering nabobs of negativism as good bad examples of how not to conduct discussions/arguments.
Carry on.
Edit: i really find it amusing that BI considers it "dogpiling" any time most others disagree, and definitely not a sign that perhaps most informed players actually know better.
