Is it just me, or... ? - Realityport

Are mobs dropping less items? I've been seeing lots of ped/pec loots (heck, look at some of the recent global/hofs screenies posted here), but rarely any items... It's strange, and it worries me quite a bit. I really hope MA's not making the loot system even worse than it already is because I'm already having enough trouble as it is.

:P

Ive noticed a slight drop in item loots too

but i have heard that there are also more drops of Really cool items so not saying that its good but i do feel that its nice to hear that some cool ones are dropping recently

But I never get really cool items.

I'm cursed to be a noob forever.

I think you are more likely to get better items the more time, money, and skills you use while hunting in Entropia. I have had a support case where they hinted at this.

You just need to get yourself a hotty hunting partner, and you won't even think to look at the loot window.

Seriously, though, I have noticed less item-based loot lately, but I assumed it was because I've been hunting different mobs. Hmm

Since most of the items I'd ever gotten before were TT food anyway, ped will do just fine. lol

Strange i've had the reverse. I even had a rainbox global with vigi harness male, vigi gloves male and female and mauve paint, and hides and stuff too.

I agree with Bane. I have seen less and less items.
Almost every single global or hof I have had since New Oxford has been mostly ped.

When I say no items, that does not include hides, etc.

I'm getting really tired of it. I've always relied on the items to augment the ped and boost me out of the red and back into a profit (or break-even). Now that I'm not getting any items (and for that matter, rarely any loot... last two days I've had about 75% of all mobs have no loot) I'm getting cleaned out! I've gone from a bit over 300ped a couple weeks back when I got my exarosaur global, down to 80ped left.

I don't know... I'm feeling pretty betrayed. I've played this for 3 years and taken a combined total break of 1 year (or something around that... I'm pretty sure it's been 4 years since I started) and I've never done well on hunting (low loot even before there were no loots, and lots of losses), but now this is just rediculous. :/

Not only do items seem to be vanishing from loots, but the lower level mobs seem to be having less and less loots in order to fuel the bigger loots for the higher level mobs. I see argos and longus dropping the most, and I'd LOVE to hunt them, but frankly, I can't do it with my noob skills and equipment.

So I ask... What's a noob to do when low level mobs barely drop anything? Seems MA's "new" loot strategy is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer with the exception of a few (rare) lucky noobs.
