Bro..... you totally have more important things to do
Not sure who you're talking to but, yeah you're probably just generally correct

Yes. My personal assumption is that it might be aimed at +-1.5% from a balance point somewhere, which MA will shift/nerf as more people get skilled.
As for proof, it may not be that every loot event carries the percentage. It could be a set of IF/THEN channels incorporating multis or extra shrap or whatever.
But if the percentage is on every loot I'd expect the curve to look slightly shifted, even if multis mess up absolute loot totals comparisons. Without noting every loot for a speadsheet the only way I see might show a diff after a few k mobs or so is noting down all multis and excluding them to see how close the 'crap loot' figure is to about 50% or so...
Does anybody track that already 'for fun' (cough) ?
1.5% at what level? Is level 30 looter 1.5% better than lvl 0? Then what about level 50? is that 1.5% better than 30? Then what about level 100? Is that 3% better than 50?
If looter keeps getting better as you level then level 50 should be much better than 30 which in hand should be better than 0. Not to mention if someone keeps going 100 looter should be far better than 50 as it's a massive difference in skill.
So how can you quantify 1.5% to the loot profession? There will be a massive difference in looter level between avatars and it has to function much different than some small % between lvl 0 and lvl 100. I can't imagine it's a sliding scale in % and other variables to increase loot are involved. Other wise what % increase is level 100 looter? It doesn't make sense this way. Not to mention when Avatars get beyond 100 lvl. What would 200 lvl looter be? Maybe we are printing ped at that point and just farming mobs like it's our job.
Well that would draw a crowd to Twitchtv then I can see the streams now Lvl 200 looter farming Prots. Wouldn't mind if they went that route. Guess I need to get there and find out.
The study can be done, but it will require collaboration between different avatars with different looter levels, using the same gear setup...
I can set up the experiment if other people provide legs for running the testing and gathering data if people are interested.
