One simple look at the auction house shows all that needs to be said and you cannot argue that. If they do not drop in EQ2 why are they so cheap? I have to pay more for player made shit that can be harvested in an hour.
You can say you wish they dropped more or that you have had bad luck and those would be true. But you cannot simply claim Sony is liars and label people who says they drop for them as liars. |
While I am hard headed, you are wrong, and are misreading what I am saying. They advertise a specific "loot card" drop rate, per booster pack. That is the only number they have advertised, and that is what I am up in arms about. I am tacking on, that I never saw a single LoN drop as further proof of the scam in play, but you spotting booster packs for sale on your AH does not prove, or disprove the advertised number they put out.
That number, is false. I also (as I posted) do not believe it is truly random, as you contend. If it was, then I wouldn't hear so much about the lowbie 1-20 people and how they got a booster off a green mob, or a starter deck or whatever. It's not a flat random chance, I fucking guarantee there are conditionals built into the random arguement, flags and so on, that impact what you see in terms of drop rates.
Really that segue's into a whole nother theory, in that some characters are bad luck, and there may even be, in existence, a "luck flag" that is set at character creation. You can slap on the tin foil hat and get really crazy and think that flag can be adjusted on the fly, by CS personel.
Piss off the CS ? They punch down your luck flag a notch, or disable it. Not enough to be obvious to anyone, but enough to impact your play. Lowered chance for item drops, lowered roll average on /randoms, lowered "behind the scene mechanics stats" across the board.
Sound crazy ? I am insane ? You never had a character that just seemed to have shit luck ? Never got drops ? Never wins rolls ? Thats all random right ?
Riiiggght.
