Ninja nerf to refine?

[Follower]

We do not swear that much :P

It is a good point why would we nerf stuff.
I want and have been trying since I joined the team to make the server fun (within reason)
Why would I nerf something like mining.
As has been pointed out its all random

I'm all for working this system out, but I just don't see the point in wasting money at the minute with the way it is.

I refined a WarMageStaff to 1-9 and broke going for +3. I'm told this is the same for everyone not progressing past the +2 stat.
I then bought a second WMS and used EXACTLY the same as the first time and broke on the first refine...

You can't expect people to refine on RANDOM success rates. We may as well use 1x BIO and 1x Jewellery every refine and just await the fate of smash or enchantment.

Could we have confirmation on if there is a set system and code script for progression of materials used (I'll be quiet and go back to the drawing board) or is it completely random?

EDIT: While i'm here, 100k per refine is nuts! this has always been 10k, even on official servers.

I am now almost certain that there's a limiter somewhere.

I've been mining 8 hours a day on either one char (sometimes 2) all week + last week's Friday & Saturday. I have not gotten a single P12+ Plat until yesterday (on my 2nd char, who I hadn't mined with that much). Today I got 3 P12+ plats and I think 8 or 9 total (make that 9 or 10 while I was typing this) on my main in a little under 3 hours of mining. As multiple people in this thread said, the low drops seemed to have started a few days before the thread was opened.. or about exactly 1 week ago.

It sounds a lot like there's an limit set for how many ores you can get per char per week, especially since I've gotten very, very, very few Adamantite the past 6 days on my main compared to 7-8 days ago (think 5 versus 40 earlier), while I do get a fair amount on my alt (who is only 4 days old).
