Drps hould never get out of PvP possible combinations.
If more can be made in PvE, the must do one of this:
- Add them to PvP too.
- Remove them form PvE.
- Block them in PvP.

you people nitpicking about q and r gtfo of this thread...
as for req8's, i have no doubt that they still drop. i have no proof cause i don't really farm, but what would the point be of taking them out?

The compilation:

~Testimony from guildies of mine who have had Requriement 8's drop for them.
~My own testimony of having a requirement 8 drop for me a month ago.
~The fact that the sales of said items (req 8) are decreasing in value a slight bit, which implies that there are not a limited supply.

Ex. A Holy Vial, req 8 12 energy sold to me a month ago for X amount, in a close auction This day, I get offers for X-Y amount for it. This is not only my testimony, but many people I talk to who have experienced the same drop in value. I will gladly give you a few names of who you can talk to so you can clarify this evidence.

EDIT: To adress your complaint about non inscribable requirement eight drops, I realize my example is inscribable, but I do know people who can testify that they have gotten these items while farming/vanquishing/completing Tyria and Cantha on hard mode. My example is mainly to clarify the fact that if Requirement eight non inscribables were a limited supply, their prices would be much higher.

Before you tell someone off and correct them, I suggest you read carefully, just a thought.

Firstly, it's not a 'complaint' that q8s are not dropping, it's an 'enquiry' into whether or not they are.

also:

I'm sorry, but none of this is actual proof. I'm not calling your information false, but unless we see a SS (with something in the screen proving date as mentioned in OP) all of these claims mean very little.

I also didn't 'tell you off', I merely stated that the information you provided wasn't what I was looking for.

My OP clearly asks for a SS of an inherent q8 item only (now edited to specify gold only) so information of inscription items for any reason is irrelevant, and claims of any other kind of drops minus SS cannot be held as evidence.

The only reason I'm picking these apart is to make it clearer for some exactly what I'm after, and to keep the thread on track.

I'm sorry if this upsets you.

Again, not proof enough I'm afraid. But thank you.

True, but I've people in my personal network feeding me this kind of information daily. I've asked for SS and no one has been able to produce. These are full time farmers (including HoH) bear in mind, and the kind of people that spend 8 hours+ Ig daily. They farm many HM and elite areas, and receive hundreds of gold drops per week.

There have been many q9 ele swords in their loot, q9 mursaat hammers, q9 stygian reavers (plural!), q9 runic blades (plural!).

This information has been flowing for a month now, many of us would have expected at least a rubbish single mod q13 gold q8 ele focus or something...

Once more, I'm not attacking you with any of this. This isn't about us, it's about the gathering of data etc.. as mentioned in OP.

Thanks for help so far guys, but I really need a SS here

Seef II · Aug 31, 2007, 08:25 AM // 08:25

White q8's = merch food, I get a couple of those in just as many days for some reason
Blue q8's = I have only ever gotten two of these, one in NM outside Mihanu Township, the other HM farming colossals in Zehlon Reach
Haven't seen any grape or gold q8's firsthand, just screenies.

around · Aug 31, 2007, 08:44 AM // 08:44

They do drop, I got a q8 command shield.

Please read OP.

I'm looking for proof of inherent, not inscription items.

Inherent items do not include the command attribute requirement.

Yes it is. It's just not conclusive evidence.

Everything here points to the fact the req 8's haven't been spotted in any quantity for nearly a year.

Nothing here, other than an official statement by Anet, can prove that req 8's don't drop. The only thing that we can prove, which was what the OP wanted, was conclusive evidence that they DO drop. And no one has been able to do that yet, at least not for non-inscribables.

Obey The Cat · Aug 31, 2007, 05:28 PM // 17:28

not many people are playing proph/factions anymore. that's why you can't see many req8 anymore I guess.

don't believe either they got removed.

just my 2 cent.

Lauryn · Aug 31, 2007, 10:18 PM // 22:18

Woo

Does this count

(although I doubt this is in the time frame you're looking for - you can see me wearing 15k kurzick armour behind*)

*Although I still wear that armour

lol

DrD · Aug 31, 2007, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Ask not about r8, ask about r7

wilderness · Aug 31, 2007, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Still after a SS with the specifications listed in the OP.

Thanks

zamial · Sep 01, 2007, 02:58 AM // 02:58

They way I understand how re8 inherent items drop are as follows:
Yes to any off hand including shields(I have seen some of these drop recently)
No to any weapons.
This was a nerf a very long time ago.
The argument was "how is a green req9 drop better than a max req7-8?"
The answer: obviously its not.
So, they took them out at the same time they took out dual damage reduction shields.

Malice Black · Sep 01, 2007, 03:06 AM // 03:06

Big question is...

Why remove Req8 items?

They offer no advantage over a Req13 except on the open market. Granted a Req8 is better for some farming builds, but those farming builds can be adjusted to work with a Req9 item.

Also, I believe you're asking for a bit much with the SS business. Who is sad enough to SS a weapon drop?

The Herbalizer · Sep 01, 2007, 09:57 AM // 09:57

Yah, the only time I screened a wep drop afaik was when I got 3 golds from a griffon mob back in the day.

People will only be taking screens once they seen this thread.

If r8 has drop rate of r7 now then we may be waiting along while.

Anyway im really looking forward to conclusive proof.

Exactly, thank you.

Looking forward to seeing it to, just to satisfy my own curiosity.

MARKER
Please, I'm not looking for claims without a SS as specified in the OP. I'm also not looking to start a debate about the worth of low requirement items, or the market at all.

I'm most definitely not looking to start an argument about the use of spelling/grammar on an internet forum.

Thank you.

So a guildie of yours got a req 7 non-inscribable gold max weapon?

My guild of 65 full-time farmers hasn't gotten a req 7 gold max in close to two years, and none of them have been able to report a non-inscribable max req 8 gold in at least 6 months. That's thousands of gold drops without a req 8, let along a req 7.

Sorry, but I'd have to see a SS like the OP before I'd believe it.
