Yeah not too bad of a hit esp if theyre supposed to bump drop rates soon
After reading through the patch notes,- from what I gathered you won't notice any significant changes to currency drop other than regals and alchemy orbs.
The most you'll be able to notice is increased drop rates of rare items,- specifically tier 2 and higher dropping more frequently.
So all in all, currency wise this is not changing much. I am guessing we'll have to farm rares and sell em of for currency, which is pretty much what at least I've been doing so far this patch because currency drop is just god awful. So bad they even made one of their top farmers in the game "fubgun" quit this patch until further update lol, that should tell everyone how bad it really is.
