I believe u may be correct about a possible SHIT mod. I took 2 years off and just got back recently. My first 10 or so climbs with feeder class i found some of the sexiest gear i ever found. Since i passed i might of found 500 fg worth the gear in the last 30 climbs... If its coincidence or not i found a hella lot more stuff on feeder class then i have on any other class.
it's all about the luck. I was trying on hc (1 and 2 season - about 15 climbs) with not so bad gear, solo and with abilities and every climb was lucky for me. By lucky i mean more than few k fg earned on dropped items.
There was oly few mq from me so this way i was newcomer lol
And hidden Mod or LS god was listening to my prayers
At least we solved this case hehe.

I read this topic about two hours ago when I got to work and this has weighed on my mind since.
Everyone knows of the 'bug' that ppl were abusing Damage Return and getting a spike in drops / whites. Basically, ppl were slow playing kills and letting the mob kill itself (in say half a dozen to a dozen hits?). Realize I'm guessing here as I haven't played in 6months. However, couple this fact with one of an astute observation from our Mediator friend from Labby is making me draw some conclusions here.
What if Paul has a secret "Socialistic Hidden Identifier Trigger" Modification (S.H.I.T. Mod for short) which basically is a hidden Mod programmed into LS to IDENTIFY the NEWCOMERS and give them a better shot at getting nice drops (obviously they kill slower with crap gear and must hit the mob more to kill it) than that of the elite ppl who do sub 1hour MQs. Basically, the Drop % or ML % goes up with every hit done on the mob and is intended to help out those LS newcomers who may "Need" increased drops the most. I can't help but think this S.H.I.T. mod was inadvertently identified months ago and abused for personal profit. Paul may have since dialed back this S.H.I.T. mod as it's not as so easily identifiable, but it may still exist.
The fact that there is evidence that a S.H.I.T. mod may exist to better spread the LS wealth of the "Haves" & "Have-Nots" could also make a swing in pricing for gear too for ppl who are looking to capitalize on this fact. Think about it, what gear would you want to use to SAFELY kill w/o issue a little slower on Solo or group? EE & HM. Expect a price spike in this gear if you are able to find any. Understanding price trends is how you truly make fg in this game.
gl and lmk your thoughts.
Seriously, Nick, you should try to MQ first before you post another S.H.I.T like this
You can still make profits on drops

CONSPIRACY THEORIES!
This. Nothings more to add.
That's my opinion.
