I have to agree - drops have been pretty terrible here. I guess it is some attempt to emulate the rubbish gear people had at the start of euro. Trouble is that was never very fun anyway and the novelty of Mir kept things going then.
You used to be able to get decent drops from normal mobs at a decent rate if you observed the whole server. It doesn't seem to be the case here. Right now you have to hunt boss mobs in groups and most of the time they still drop trash anyway. Your average player will never get much of note, and people will soon get tired of being lvl 40+ with shop kit.

Not really. But nobody finds "wow this is incredibly boring mode" entertaining. Its a gameplay and satisfaction issue, not how hard it is. People, especially the mir community, dont mind grinding. But when it reaps no rewards people lose interest very quickly.

Way I've always seen games and leveling, either lower exp and drops/gold... High exp no drops/gold. Can't really have it both imo.

Like ive said before
Too many drops = People get bored, stuff handed to em on a plate, nothing to strive for
Not enough drops = People get bored, struggle to make cash
I agree, even if rare, people still want to know that a rare CAN drop. Like u say on euro PSC dropped fans etc even tho I never got 1. I did get a crims ruby ring off a ronan ghoul in psc on euro tho.PB should have the chance of OSR, SR's dropping and plenty of 33 arms, items to compensate pots used. And pb was also a gud place for holy stone drops if I remember rightly. And why did 2 JMace drop 1st few days and none since, did drops get tweaked? im also a bit embarrassed being a 41 sin that I still dont have a lvel 34 skill. Shud it be THAT rare?

lots of refference to euro here. why?
isnt this 2x euro rate or slightly higher..
so you get a fan from psc on euro shouldnt you have to double that difficulty to get a fan on here?
I like the way items are rare. whoever posted saying, power rings ect ect should be common is very silly.
drop rates should always be below the average level in my opinion.
how many people of the "1000" users hunt PB? id say less than 20% so you want to up the drop rates because your not getting anything?
you think killing however many omas you have killed was it 35k? x 200 players 7mil mobs should yield drops, what happens when those other 80% of players start hunting there? 35mill mobs killed. you up drop rates now and soon the server is flooded..
your level 44 because you chased exp instead of drops. stop moaning and go camp some boss'

I don't think he was specifically complaining about rares, the point is u don't even get drops to sell to sustain levelling there. would be nice to get the odd oma pop a mass drop, few pots, couple piles gold and a couple low lvl items, just to compensate pots at least.
If my only way to kit up and get skills is to fighting auto aim cheats, 20+ players per boss or to get 2 hit from a warrior in shop kit. Im afraid server holds no interest for me and probably many others
mir 3 you used to get decent items from the mobs. And super rares from the bosses

I have temp left the server due to the drops and and the amount it costs to lvl on here.. ive camped PB and BDD bosses and have had nothing drop that i can even sell for abit of gold so that i can get some money to lvl. To me unless u get extremley lucky on here drops dont really exist and for people who can only get on for a couple of hours each day its spent getting gold and not on lvling. IMO weapon drops defo need increasing because as others have said 4 lvl 30 weps between 600+ users is rediculous. Also for me the fact that ebony fruits and mushrooms sell prices halved was pointless..
I think that's a valid point to be honest. I can see why we're aiming to make boss hunting more of a group activity and I don't disagree with that approach. For me, Mir really comes alive when hunting with groups of people and fighting each other over bosses.
But some people prefer solo levelling and I don't think that should be discouraged either. And whilst people who play that way shouldn't be rewarded with the same amazing items as those who put the effort in and kill bosses, I don't think it's right that it gets to the point where they can't afford to buy pots either. It's not too unreasonable or gamebreaking for normal mobs to occasionally drop a lil' somethin' somethin' to keep you going or give you a kit slightly better than what a shopkeeper will sell to you.

+1 im 35 and id stopt playng for this reson hope somthing is done quik coz alote of ppl dont have the time to just hunt for gold
Not being funny but even 1 SR and 1 noble ring ingame after 1month doesn't impress me, So hopefully they will stay the only ones ingame for a few more months, giving xele benefit of vanity of the items,
So yeah right times, curse10 killed at right times everyone else missed out by either 1 spawn too early or late

Oh yeah and while am at it, if ya don't like putting the graft into the game for ya stuff, no ones forcing you to play..
C10 hunt main bosses regularly and I have only came across 2 boss fights so far which were KS and KH. So for people to be saying they are killing main bosses regularly and not getting anything is a lie, otherwise I would have seen many more fights than this.
Agreed. With the rate people are leveling weapon drops could do with a slight increase.
I vote to leave it as it is,I don't think you should get EXP AND DROPS. If you want drops join a guild hunt and fight for a boss.

They recently added Slashers and Sorcerers to the first 2 floors in Orcs, not sure if this was to slow down progression or to force everyone to level on PI & it's 2 caves to spice up PvP. The low drop rate in PB may be for the same reason/s.
