I just spent 3 hours to complete the new PvE HoH. I worked just as hard as every other party member the entire time. It was only my second time down there, yet I feel I contributed just as much as anyone else in there.

Why then, should I not be rewarded too? I got nothing but crap drops the entire time and no Green items. I feel that regardless of how many times you've been down there, there should be atleast one green drop for every party member.

PvP HoH drops Sigils for everyone everytime, why can't PvE HoH drop Green items for everyone everytime? A.Net said the "Anti-Farming" system was designed to hurt botters, not farmers, yet I doubt there are many bots capable of making it all the way to the HoH.

Summary: Have a green item drop for every party member so that everyone who participated and earned one gets one, like they deserve.

Let's not be greedy now! I feel you should receive one, and only one. That way everybody gets something, even if it's not exactly what they wanted, they haven't totally wasted 3-4 hours of their life. This area can be either the most fun ever or the worst experience you've ever had, all depending on the loot distribution of the 3 guys at the end, and that doesn't seem right.

i was in a group of 7, we got to the greens, one of us got 2 drops, some of us got 1, some of us got none.

Some people in the group also got ectos and rare drops.

that being said, the drop system after winning halls is NOT even.

Since when does HoH drop Sigils for eveyone? Cause I can assure you are 100% wrong in that statement.

mortalis doleo · Jan 21, 2006, 09:55 PM // 21:55

PvP HoH is 3 sigils and 1 gold item.
2 items cant drop for one player in the same battle.

It might not be a valid example but he brings up a valid point

Ok, yes it was a bad example. But perhaps instead of being booted back into ToPK after beating PvE HoH, you should be sent be able to repeat the last map (HoH) over, and over, and over again?

Anet would never do such a thing. That way people would farm ectos and greens so easily. The ecto trend is horrible as it is, and they don't want meny of these new greens to trend down so quickly either, not that many of them are even that good anyways. A few are going for 100k+ though.

I agree. I bet there were others who didn't get drops just like you. Hell, I went there for a run with my guildies and we died at the end of scarred earth

. Only two got ecto drops. One person got an ecto drop and a fairly good gold axe from two mobs. That's life I guess, or just probability. Heh.

I Agree with the OP, think about it, theres only 1 reason/goal to go down there > That is green items, there is absolutely no other reason to go down there, a few people might go for ecto, a few might go for the chests, but the main reason is those damn greens. If at the end of 1-2hrs u got nothing, its a total waste of time.

The first time i went down there, i got nothing - i was really annoyed (some people got 2!), the next time i went down there i got 1, then i got 2. When i got something, some1 else in the team didnt get 1, i felt bad. Its not fair. A green should drop to every party member imo, and nobody should get 2 items. I notice on average 6 greens drop. that means in a party of 8, 2 people will miss out. IF Anet feels 8 green drops is too much then maybe have 2 gold items drop (most gold items suck!) for each player that did not get a green.

in most of my groups we start with 8 ppl and by the time we get to HoH we have around 5-6 players left so pretty much everyone gets a green. If there is still someone that doesn't get a green most ppl usually give them a green if they got more then 1 although its usually a crap green.

I agree the distribution of the greens is a little unfair. However im not complaining, my first run I got a victo's balde and that ogre knife thing.

Hella Good · Jan 22, 2006, 02:59 AM // 02:59

To be honest, I don't think those items shoudl be farmable. If you wanna try to get them, go ahead, but to actually farm them, it will be ridiculous. Perfect sickles all around... kinda dumb. So, if anything they should reduce the drop rate, nm evening it out.

BigTru · Jan 22, 2006, 04:01 AM // 04:01

Another run with nothing

Everybody wants to get paid syndrome. It's not a game anymore, it's a job. (smile)

Two April Mornings · Jan 22, 2006, 04:41 AM // 04:41

If everyone got greens, they wouldnt be worth as much. If everyone got rares, they wouldn't be rare. If everyone got ecto, FOW armor would be nothing. So on..

IMO a bigger problem is people who spend 2-3 hours expecting to get something, but instead, leave empty-handed. At least give us a "worthless" green for our troubles.

scars of insanity · Jan 22, 2006, 05:55 AM // 05:55

Dude if anything the drop system is droping to much. Its based on chance on what you get. What i dont get is why caster monsters are droping gold swords and bows hmmmm.

fiery · Jan 22, 2006, 06:08 AM // 06:08

ya green items in SF and green items in tombs.. why do it.. most have almost same mods.. just another list of greens to sell high prices.

Cherno · Jan 22, 2006, 08:00 PM // 20:00

I went down yesterday and we started with 8 ended with six. 2 of the other 5 were guildmates. There were only three ecto drops the entire area and one went to each of my guild

When we got the to the greens, the first boss killed dropped 2 greens, one for me (Wenslauss Faith) and another for someone else. Second boss dropped Victo's Blade for me and 2 others. Last boss dropped a couple.

As it turned out, I think two of us got 2 each, 3 got 1 each and one got nothing. It was one of my guildies who got nothing.

Maybe because it's fun?

Seriously, I don't understand you guys, Anet gave us a whole new area for PvE, and you complain about not getting green items?!
I understand you don't like it, but to say things should change

.

Just go in without expectations, and if you do get a green drop you will be happy
