There is ZERO compelling reason to play/farm orlo as pink powder and drops that are from around zant are dropping there. The equipment dropping is yellow garbage and I can say after several hours of farming that 6 lisent hg gathered from 3 drops of it along with 30 pink powder, 18 low essence, 10 essence are so horrible that I cannot believe I wasted 4 hours of my life playing your game. I left all the 1st grade gems in the ground as they even dropping is an insult to those of us who have put the time in to level our chars up. The numbers of the good drops I listed are not even a 1/10th of what level 200 should be dropping.(essence, low essence, pink powder shouldn’t even be there…there should be au’s, cr’s, hg’s, U’s, pb’s, enthiric, hermes, low enthiric, 3rd grade gems and lots of them…these are the toughest monsters in the game!!!! You also need to have a compelling reason for us to even play the game…there is NOTHING left to do but farm. I’m not saying that they should rain like they did before however dropping them perhaps 1/4 less than they were before “the big horrible update” would be fine. You must be able to see that even though MANY people have quit, there are not nearly enough refies or high level chemicals around for people to be able to refine their gear properly or craft gems. My dealer cannot buy enough hermes or enthiric or even low enthiric for that matter in order to craft gems no matter what price I put in my store. The same is true for refines…if you look at stores in junon, you might see 3 lisent cr if you looked at the 4-6 main stores. You might see 10 or so lisent au. You might see 20 lisent hg. You get the point? . The numbers of chemical and lisent dropping are totally wrong and perhaps 1/10th of what should be dropping.
The bitter truth: The ugly epic weapons had their 2 weeks of fame, everyone(who still plays and is lvl 200+) has one, they sell for less than 50 million now and there is now ZERO reason to play the game/spend money in the item mall. If you cannot provide for us(enough exciting drops that mean something) then we will not provide for you(item mall money). I for one am keeping my $50 a month I was spending on the game and now putting it towards a new computer instead of the item mall. $600 a year, i’m not the only one must be adding up. How many of me can you afford to lose?
