mmmmm, beginning to get suspicious that the GDK Scale drop rate has already been lowered

Feb 27: 14 kills, 2 drops, 9 scales in total

Feb 28: 7 kills, 1 drop, 5 scales

Mar 1: 25 Kills - nothing

Anybody else having a similar experience ?

I think they are having major loot issues at the moment. Its gone from nothing, to great, back to nothing... and its widespread (not just RIS loot).

Please keep pressing them to fix this.

Okram, its broke again.

Yeah you just gotta keep at it, even when they were dropping good, the drop rate is like 1 in 15-20. I killed51 of them with a friendlast Friday. Got scales from numbers 3, and 4, then nothing till number 49 so we had. 45 straight kills with nothing. All random.

That's just it - I was under the impression the devs said they would be slightly increasing the rare loot drops, to help with the economy. Putting GDK's back to their previous status doesn't solve that - therefore, I am left feeling that it was unintentional, and that the loot spurt we got with RIS was the desired result.

Once again all opinion. The only thing we know for sure is we had a short period where they were dropping very well, now they are dropping rarely once again. I'm guessing they are changing around the loot tables on the backend, and trying to adjust the rates on the drops so we're somewhere in the middle. but a loot table change would effect an entire category of loot not just GDK's(ie pearls are probably in the same category as GDK's).

No one wants the loot to be too common or it becomes worthless, but we also don't want it to be nearly impossible to find either.
