Another 9 taken down yesterday, which brings me up to 83 with zero scales.
I don't mind the Plague Strike diseases. Blind, stun, intimidate I can shrug off. Even the low drop rate would be acceptable.. If the damn things just stopped spinning around, constantly shifting in and out of range.
I could killthemin half the time if it didn't keep backing up to engage me in a staring competition. Takes a step forward, I hit it once, then it spins around and is out of range again. Frustrating... Very frustrating.

Well it's about time!
#87 nets me a scale.
Also, about the out of range/spinning... I read somewhere (or at least I think I read) that writing a macro that throws in a /taunt is effective... and it really is.
As a pikeman, mine is /leghit2, /leghit2, /taunt... Keeps it in range very effectively. Now, it still went out of range... but much less then earlier.

I have stopped counting on or around 50 with no scale, but I do have a few secrets that will help the people that can hunt in rapid succession.
If you can't find any spawns and a bunch of tards are at lameotown, go to the volcano on the bottom of the map, directly south of the volcano at the base you will find anywhere from 2 to 8 spawned all at once. I have gone out there at various times and days and they are always there in force. Make laps around the base pf the volcano and you will run into plenty of them and gurk nests to get king hides while you look for GDK's.
The nice thing about the multiple spawns very close together is that if you have a CM friend or CM alt have them bring their assortment of diseases and poisons set up for the type of damage you do and throw areapoisons/diseases at the GDK's, stack everything you have on them and the 70-85k HAM they have wil melt away fast. Having them all bunched up and ticking away I can go through anywhere from 4 to 8 GDK's very quickly, they die so fast with the poisoning that you nearly have burst run to each one to loot them before they disappear.
I don't have any scales to show for my efforts, but I can at least say that a 2person crew can kill about 8 every 15 minutes if you have spider venom enhanced poisons and a TKM or CM/Rifleman toon. If you see a smelly wookie named Spankbacca with his CM lady friend Akila on Lok you know exactly what i'm doing there now since my secret spawning spot is out 
Sigs are stoopid!

I saw a small sampling of these on another forum thread. Is it bad as I've heard or is the drop rate increasing? Let's see...

I thought I had the worst streak, but it looks like a couple other guys beat me. 85 in a row with nothing, although I have looted 1/107 kills. It's really frustrating when I see people go out there the first time and loot like 5 scales. Or even kill about 20-30 and loot scales twice. Luck of the draw I guess.
