PvP Drops
Quote:
What level is your toon again? if it's 50 I don't doubt you've been getting drops. It's the lower level toons of mine that have stopped getting any drops what so ever. I'm now up to 300 pvp rep with about 260 kills with a level 43 Fortunata and have yet to receive and single pvp recipe drop in a pvp zone. I also have a level 43 stalker who has yet to receive a single pvp recipe drop as well. My 50's however still get drops.....
Just as an update the week I posted the above I spent 5 days farming for 1.5-2 hours a day, I recieved 5 PvP IOs (2 one night, none the final night). By the weekend I just got bored of farming.
I'll probably end up doing the same this coming week. For now i'm bored of farming people. And Xan, sweety. If PvP IOs were granted only to people who actually PvPed, you would never have pvp IOs. The sentiment that PvP IOs should reward PvP skill is ridiculous and stupid. No one has that anymore. |

My estimation of the drop rate being about 1 in 60 rep-valid kills was done in I14 when it was still possible to arena farm (efficiently at least). I was getting about 57 kills per 30-minute arena match, and averaged one drop per match, hence rounding it off to 1 in 60. Epsilon's method which came up with something around 1 in 70 was a bit more scientific (i.e. he actually monitored the number of rep-valid kills and the number of drops, whereas my numbers are based off casual observation rather than hard data).

So hypothetically speaking killing the same rep-less target repeatedly enough times to gain 340 rep, and netting but 1 PvP drop would be bad luck or normal?
Dualboxing and killing the same toon over and over again, normal pvp or setting up a group of different people trying to farm it?
The drop-rate sucks for pvp IOs but it is still much higher than purple drop rate, even in pvp zones.
