Too much player just stopped coz wasn't able to find an useful item in years. So stop this sh*t please. We should show to eachother what we - barely - find and keep the hope alive.
Thanks for understanding.

Week old post... don't worry about it, of course you show and tell your friends... it doesn't mean jack what I wrote... right?.
$hit happens, if it didn't you get constipated and die.

The events are getting more and more interesting, and see'ing little increases from the events is great incentive... waiting for some other events that yield more improvements before I get back into LS.

Agreed. Item drop is designed for 1000+ players, not 10-30.
A clever loot drop could be redesigned to take into account how many players are playing, like a monthly average.

yeah thats a nice idea
but lets tink about it:
if the loot drop are for 1000+ player, do you find items when you play much longer?
i dont think there was an 200 ee drop since a long time and there was a lot mirror mazes or?

if you compare the loot drop with muting and i see that i dont get any good item with 2000 essences now and every climb there are 5-15 55er´s
you see how many climbs you could need for a nice item
and i dont speak about 200 ee items
my last 1000 essences on 55´s there was an 86 ee drop xD

If 1000+ players were playing or muting, then yes there would be dropped more items compared to 10-30 players, and hence the probability of finding a good loot would not change, but since more people = more loot = more often a good drop.
I think about it as follows:

if there is 1/1000 for a good item to drop, then for every 1000th drop it would be good. If I am the only one playing for an hour a day and I find 100 drops during this hour there would be 1 good drop every 10th hour.
If now 1000 players were playing for an hour a day and also find 100 drops / hour, they would together find 100000 drops / hour, and thus find 1000 good ones pr hour in average.

I'll agree nothing ever drops. I've done 1187 climbs. Yes the majority of my climbs have been whistle.

About 200-300 have had farming ambush (back when it was a thing) or exploring 55-71 and some random full explores etc.

I have found 3 decent items ever I think.

Way back in like 2010? not sure? I found a 61 int staff when the catacombs first came out which was awesome.

In season 14 I found a 163EE level 30 earth (in a group climb)

Last season I found a 147 EE level 50 axe (in a group climb)

This season I've found nothing.

Never even seen a 200EE item drop.

I've found couple of 200ee + myself (in full groups)
Also seen couple of them drop that others got,
found/seen ALOT of 190+ ee stuff.

You simply dont explore enough.

The key is explore + full group imo.

Ofc, full group is much bigger chance to find more ep's (bigger waves) = more items.
In guild only groups you also get even higher quality/quantity of items droped.
