My SS/SV and I were showered in rares and purples on the couple of runs we did. One of the drops being a 15>50 hand axe. Co-incidental or part of anets fix today?

it was a bug - which means some people could have gotten shards/ectos, it was just preventing some players from getting it. geeze.

I don't see what's so hard to comprehend about that. It seems quite a few people got drops during the period when they "weren't" dropping. But I guess the vague description on Anet's site makes us all liars.

I didn't notice any higher drop rate of purples or golds last night though.

I had a couple good runs through FoW (2 hour duration each) with no shards dropping for anyone. Did another after the patch and we got 6 total. Slight difference in drop rates there, I could have understood getting only 1 or 2, but 0 twice...pretty bad odds.

Well, I really don't intend to argue this any further, but your personal account is really only anecdotal at best. It's already been stated that the bug could've been effecting only some people. Or maybe my run was before the bug was introduced. I can't really speak to either or those though, nor do I think anyone else can either. All I know was I got 2 ectos on the run I mentioned previously. You can take that how you will; create whatever explanation works in your mind, I really don't care.

Regardless there was a bug. And a few people who got ecto/shard would make that less than 1% of the entire game. So if you say there was no bug that would make you a liar.

I was just testing you to see if you cared about the subject. I thought you didnt care. But you seem to do care cuz why are you still replying?

Sorry I just like to test ppl's egos to see if they keep their word...

Wow ectos are now selling for 8k at merchant. Way up from the 5k to 5.5k just two weeks ago.
