Ok so i have been hearing things online like odd stuff with the GDK scale. I heard they are dropping now 1 out of every 11 Kimogilas. I also heard that all of these new scales cuz they are dropping so much will go *poof* and disapear with the next pub. Is any of this true, can someone please explain to me what is going on with RIS armor.

I had to kill 26 of them before I got a set of scales to drop. Who knows if the scales looted since patch 9 will go poof, but I doubt it. In the grand scheme of things the extra loots this weekend won't mean much. Sure, the price of a scale might drop a while in the short term, but the number of scales that have been looted is still tiny compared to the overall number of players in the game. And since armor doesn't last all that long in combat, about the only lasting effect of this bug will be that a few more players willhave RIS for display purposes. Personally, I think a far bigger impact on the rareness of GDK scales is going to be that fact that a Jedi can now kill a GDK in one minute or less. Even after the drops get returned to only a single scale at a time,agroup of playersthat is trying to get a bunch of GDK scales together only needs to get a couple Jedi and a few Rangers, and they'll be cutting through the GDKs like there's no tomorrow.
