Reply below sent to another member of your group that PMed me with the same thing.
The drop files are random, I can only control so much related to them the rest is upto the system.
As always when I get messages like this I will look at the drop file and make sure everything is ok but being honest people are excepting way way way to much from all bosses. On euro, USA or any other long term server every boss did not drop a great item every kill.
The thing is you had a better chance of getting a great item because you went to the trouble to kill this boss. No matter how much I change the drop files there needs to be an element of random or else everything would be 1/1 and what is the point in that.

as i said in pm i fully agree with what you are saying and you are right, but at the same time we dont want flamefield etc to drop every kill. But in my opinion a boss of this calibre should drop SOMETHING everytime like a mid tier item. For example lets say it drops a PowerRing or 8trig brace each time (or something of that level) it isnt going to break the server bearing in mind more items are breaking from gems also.
Say for example a PowerRing was to drop, you have 2 options, sell it and split the cash between the grp so thats 1.4m/7 people 200k each (wont even buy you a bene) Other option you roll/give it to a guildie, my power ring is on dura 3 im lvl 44 me having a new power ring as a result of a 2hour hunt to get there and kill it i dont think is unreasonable.
lets be honest, we can spend 2hours going here and 9/10 it will drop what we have here, or we can spend that 2hours killing everything in DD, OK and collossus (if everything is there and we are lucky to find it first) and have twice as much stuff yet still have a good chance of a 'rare' item dropping i.e. dss/rage etcetc
not an ungrateful post as i said you guys are doing a good job but for average joe bloggs like me who can only play 4hours a night on a good day, its a struggle to justify the 2hours it takes to get there. god forbid it not be there when you do get there!
