Throughout my 3 main PvE characters. I got around... 35k between them. Two of my characters has droknor armors, and good weapon sets. While the third one is my newly created Elementlist and she sitting in pre-searing. I found it easier farm for items with my elementlist since i now have around 1.6k alone with her. So i'm going to save her up to 5k than move her into post-searing.

BTW, I'm spending my golds wisely now. Used to be, i buy different weapons or items from peoples. But now after getting three green items (one for my elementlist) I'm going to save my golds until i got enough to give out between my three characters. And is it necassary to equip your characters with 15k armors? get the best weapons and items in the game? and spend up worth of 100k or more on these upgrades?

What do you call excessive though? According to /age I've been playing for 1477 hours over 4 month's, but I'm still not even close to my goal of earning fissure armour for one of my characters, let alone the 2 sets I want (fissure means my ele gets to wear trousers and my ranger gets druids for energy without looking a tit).

Now I admit I don't farm as repeating the same areas over and over mindlessly clicking a set sequence of skills bores me to tears (tried it and hated it it - it's not playing the game it's exploiting a crap system of getting rewards), yet my method of playiung the game by doing the quests and helping others do them dosen't garner the rewards even though I am putting in trhe hours to earn it, as has been suggested bercause the drops are so pitiful now, so whats the answer?

100 hours playing the game (finished the game) = 1 sup rune of healing, 1 black dye, a 5k green, 4 worthless golds
10 hours running = 40k
200 hours trading = 350k cash, an estimated 800k in tradeable items

I want my fissure armor!

I have no problems with people finding a 15>50 Crystalline and becoming a millionaire overnight because farming is basically like playing the lottery, it's that rare.

If 15>50 Crystalline's weren't that rare, then they wouldn't be worth that much and people wouldn't become overnight millionaires then.

Maybe it is because I use my 2 pve chars in pvp more, but I have a lot of skill points to spend but no gold to buy skills. I do not to be the richest in the world, but I have been poor since the skill-purchase costs were increased. Some more ways of getting gold would be nice.

About 480hours of playing (all 3 of my PvE chars):
1 sup. vigor rune
3 sup. swords
5 black dyes
4 green items (gargash thornbeard set,the shadestone,and ivors icon...not vry proud of these drops)
about 20 gold items (some werent max dmg/al/energy)
and 19k in 6hrs of playing (last time i played)
For me drops are good, right now i have about 19k in storage and about 100 on each of my chars, the reason i dont have so much is b/c i spend a lot on dyes/runes and some on runs. I once had a sup. tactics rune drop for me, no one even bothered to look at it, i tried in AC, LA,& DF, so at the end when I lowered the price to 400gold

offers were flying, i ended up selling for 1k

I am not very proud of my progress (didnt even finish the game with at least one of my characters, just beat abbas mouth with my necro...) farming is better than ever, (3green drops in about 1hour), and i think that the drops ar good

So my answer to this poll is: My drops are good
