Fix/Improve Drop Rates to what they used to be

    As someone who hadn't played in about a year, and then coming back on to Gamez, I've noticed a severe decapitation in the drop rates. Even with VIP for nearly two months now, I almost feel like I don't have VIP at all. The mats for balaur don't drop frequently enough with the status of VIP and are even worse without it.

    Before the 2.7 update, if you had VIP and you would kill a Balaur you were guaranteed all of the mats that it would drop, this meant significantly less farming which is why players would come to Gamez Aion, because its a high-rate server making the grind feel less.

    However once 2.7 was introduced, the drop-rates were severely reduced, with mobs no longer consistently giving the mats that they had prior to that. This was protested on the threads at that time, and the statement we were given was "The Drop-rates will get fixed, so be patient".

    Well, it's now 2012, and the fact of the matter is that the drop-rates have gotten even worse from when I had last played over a year ago. Back in mid-late 2011, if I went hunting in Ingg I could get reasonable Pacification drops with VIP, now I would farm there for over 2 hours with only two pieces to show for my efforts, and I have VIP currently.

    The core also used to drop Elder gears, albeit not to the level it had prior to 2.7, but it at least still dropped elder gears every 2-3 mobs you would kill, now it's not even possible anymore.

    So my statement is simple. Make the drop-rates what they used to be back in the past prior to 2.7 and during that of 2.5, right now it is absolutely horrible with the ratio at which items/mats will drop, whether it be gold gears to disenchant or mats to try and craft, with mats being the absolute worst. Even the manastone drop rates are horrible.

    We are a high-rate server and one of the biggest reasons why we would play on Gamez Aion is so that we could spend less upon farming, however that certainly isn't the case currently. Trying to get anything on here in terms of drop ratio now is horrible and this is coming from a player who currently has VIP.

    Just to try and make a real comparison, the current VIP status right now is worse then a Non-VIP player prior to 2.7, and with the statement of well over a year ago of "The drop-rates will be fixed, please be patient".

    I believe we've waited long enough, it's time to get it fixed, and improved. If you have VIP the mats should drop all the time, not me sitting here farming for an hour and I don't even have 30 mats, while the total quantity I need is well over 200+ and that's just for that particular mat!? I'm not even including all the other mats that I would still need to farm in order to craft my one single item which involves a staircase of crafting before I even reach the item that I desire/want.

    Fix the Drop-rates to what they used to be please.

    A lot of mats are rarely farmed now a days, and not only that, but when they are, they are sold for obnoxious prices. 30 pieces for like 3-5m a piece, come on now.

    Silly things like this can be completely avoided if they just simply fixed the drop rates to what had been previously promised well over a year ago when they first implemented 2.7.

    i think the drop rates are fine

    in retail you run the instance 100x and you get 1 eternal item
    here every run you make you get an eternal item, my guess? is alright.

    Verdict
    If its gonna be like that then modify the Gamez website features list cause now its a big fat lie... No one discuss that the rates in retail are low, and its ok. But since here we are lured to have a "high rate" server then fullfill what is told thats all.

    This gave me cancer.

    If I wish to play retail, I ll go to retail. Since I dont want to play it because I hate to grind, I go to a Pserver with higher rates, and I expect to have them, if its a selling point of the Pserver in question. If not, why you say you have them in the first place? Its only logical.

    People came here because it's a high rate server, which means they don't want to spend a lot of time farming/dungeon running (common sense)
    The drop rate was cut in half on 2.6, really sad that people only noticed it now.

    Common sense is that if in retail you get 1 item every 100 runs and here you get 2-3 items per run, of course is a fixed drop rate. you guys just want 1000x drop rate stop complaining and run the instance noob.
