Drop Rates Still Borked

Bad Influence is endlessly amusing and shrill.

To state that this is a conspiracy, where even the most casual players noticed a change, is slightly unfair.
Do 'under the hood' changes happen? Sure they do.
But generally, all changes are announced through patch notes, good or bad.

Put it this way: The Devs knew that the new mission settings would be great for farmers; they likely didn't see (or didn't think it was important enough) that the -1 could affect TF and Master runs (unintended consequence). They fixed the drop rate (soon) and the -1 issue.

Now, it seems your premise to start was that the invisible JoJo Vendor Cartel (JVC for short, kidding around ) was manipulating all those purple prices so you couldn't obtain them. Obviously the Devs knew about this and patted themselves on the back about it.

All this ignores that, instead of reacting as a stung harridan, you could have helped us all in checking drop rates, offering feedback and being....useful?

Sadly, your inner rage and needless sense of victimization are doing you a disfavour in these fora. Please, try and make your experience, and ours, a better one.

Anyone remember my LSD comment a few pages ago?

At first it was merely an attempt at humor but it turns out the statement was highly accurate.

Forumite: BI, it's not a conspiracy. The devs have stated it's a bug and will be fixed.
BI: Whatevs! The near-sighted dragon in my pillow will not allow me to fall for such lies!

This side discussion is disctracting from the real and udnerlying question here.

Is Soylent Green Sheeple ?

Edit: zomg, what was I thinking? Sweet reason has no place here.

Did an ITF again and all I got in terms of recipes were an Accuracy and a Taunt. Nothing else.Rest of the team got Numina`s and other rare stuff which I can`t remember right now, but for the 4th time running this task force I did not get a single drop. I get better recipes on radio missions.

the patch that is being put to live tomorrow should be fixing the drop rates.

YAY! Some of my characters are so broke that I've been forced to slot them with S&H Green Stamps and smiley stickers.

I never kill spiders, unlike Wasps and those freakish Crane Flies (or Daddy Long Legs as they're called over here) spiders have a use, neither of the above things do anything useful (well maybe wasps do but I have yet to benefit from it!) plus Spiders also eat the above two which is major positives in my book.

Still that pint glass I use for trapping them is the general all round 'thing trapper' for the house, it is primarily used for catching mice brought in by the cat using exactly the same method as catching a spider (glass over the subject, slide paper underneath subject, turn glass right way up, subject falls into bottom of glass, subject is thrown outside...this is the process for all things that can be pint glass trapped...).

Still I do object to being used as a launching post by the tiny spiders...one time was chatting to a friend and I saw this little black dot fall past my eye, look down and see a tiny baby spider absailing down me as if I had just conquer Mount Everest and was now on the way down...

Cheeky little git...I wouldn't be surprised if he'd planted a flag somewhere laying claim to my head for the good of the spider kingdom!
