Really, just because they changed it so you can't make multiple millions per hour, you don't need to whine. Pearls should be rare. The fact they drop only from giants and ancients make sense. Also that not many have them makes sense. The krayt would have to eat a rock, and then have it sit in it's stomach for years and years before it became a pearl, even longer for the better pearls. It's providing a balance, and the people that are complaining are the people that don't want to have to be balanced with less skilled or newer players. No one should be able to sell anything for over a million, that's insane. We need to go back to the time when people weren't greedy, and most people didn't even have a million.

heh man pearls = 's rare now equals cost of millions your contradicting urself ... when things are rare they cost more or are you born with a bloody silver spoon in your mouth and dont understand such things.. when pearls were more comon sure they sold for more, but they arnbt a definite thing each hour ur going to get.. with still 3 -4 hours where they dont spawn.. terrible scales.. segments and base tissue almost always drop... all your going to get out of everything being rarer is a out of wack game.. if pearls were as comon as they were before pub 13. prices will balance to not under 1 mil but still a hell of a lot less then it is now... DUHH

The most important thing of ALL now is that pearl drops stabilize- and STAY(!!!!!) at a certain level. Not alot of "tweaking" all the time. Its way too insane when one group can loot pearls at almost every single krayt the kill and alot of other groups never find a single one!
If the spawn rate of 1 pearl in 35 giants/ ancients is correct and it would take a large and strong group 10min 2 kill a giant/ ancient it would take approx 350min to be "guaranteed" to loot ONE pearl.. If roughly 1 in 10 tunes r any "good" tunes a jedi should buy/loot on average 10 pearls if he/ she wanted to be fairly certain of getting ONE good tune.. So if the jedi looted them he/ she could expect to need 1700- 3500 minutes to get these 10 pearls.. 1700- 3500 minutes would in other words be 28+ hours to 58+ hours (in large groups!).
And that would be assuming the entire group would be willing to hunt with the jedi for that amount of time AND give all the pearls to that ONE jedi.. And another thing on top of that to consider is the decay these pearls go through when in use by a jedi and also how many jedi's r activly in use throughout the day!
I dont think i will EVER hear of any1 being THAT generous on ANY server.. However, to everyone stating that the pearl drops should be what they r- or even more uncommon..
Either shut up or put ure money where ure mouth is and start being that generous cause atm ure full of bs!!
What server are you on, Master Jedi? I would be honored to be a part of your group, and will gladly give you any pearls in exchange for me getting a share of the tissues. However, if you take 10 minutes to kill a Dragon ina large group, allow me to give you pointers, because a group of 5 EFFECTIVE fighters can do it in that time frame. Double the amount of EFFECTIVE fighters, and I will bring your rate down to 1 in 5 minutes. Seriosuly - Name your server - If you are on mine, I offer you my services.
