The problem is that MA can change the bar whenever they like, and I don't like it being lowered until I can no longer bend back enough to dance beneath it without it hurting. (90% is already way too low for turnovers of hundreds of peds per hour)
When my back hurts, I stop dancing, like many people seem to. There may be hofs on the other side for the limbo survivors, but is it worth it MA to play this game with us?
I don't like that either, yet, we're seeing it after every major event, or towards the end. Lower TT returns are tied up to lower activity. That does not mean there are no PED left, it just means payouts are payed less often (HOFs or good avg. loot) - but they are payed since consistency helps the returns to get back to the 97+% target. This is my observation based on tracking for almost 5 years (8.5mil PED tracked) and as I was saying earlier in this thread, everyone has bad periods, I had a very bad period a year ago of 93.5% after a weapon upgrade with 90+ efficiency and above average looter prof, it didn't last very long (or I was able to push through, because how long a bad streak lasts is a matter of perspective, look at Cirrus, he panics on 300 ped run...)
Playing 300ped and getting 160 back is 55% to me.
When it happens 3 times in a row, it's still 55%.
But maybe you use different maths ?
Please don't do post like this again, where you talk about thing you have no idea about.
It makes me waste my time and you make a foul of yourself..
Waste of time is to track and draw your conclusions after 3 runs.
Don't take it personal, it happens usually on the forums, when you're full of it, people will call you out on your bullshit.
There are mobs that cost 300 PED that some can solo. Just a couple of days ago I went to mulcibers for some fun, each costs around 260 (huge regen, depends on your DPP) and all of them gave back liek 84 PED. Yes, my tt return was 33% for a few hours, but it means fck all because the run was lookign much different at the end.
There are weeks during events when I loose 4-6k PED during events, then a HOF happens (when I go through the bad loot) then things get to normal again.
Loot needs some volatility to make up for the items in loot, the hofs on the board and other mechanics because if loot was more stable, there wouldn't be any more HOFs above 1k, then another wave of DOOMists would raise and call the apocalypse because BS HOFs (I think there is a thread for this recently?).
My loot is stable so I will never ever get a solo ATH. And probably not even 5digit HOFs.
Quitting for periods of times will make you miss your payout window so yeah, you may see 90% for extended periods of times, but, as MA stated, high activity is experiencing higher %tt returns.
Saying 55% is a hunter's return is a retarded conclusion not even gonna ask about how you track, what gear, skills etc. It doesn't exist even short term (a decent day worth of hunting).
This thread was made 14 days ago, it is one of the most viewed threads on these forums all time already. I would say that is a thread of extreme interest because of where we are currently. To say this is a hot topic would be an understatement. Downplaying everything people say is the hand you always play. Can you just admit that there is an obvious stir in the community right now and maybe take an objective view? It would be healthy, just try it.
The "extreme" interest comes mostly from the fact that you're a privileged player because you got a clear answer from MA about your returns. Most of us get the copy paste answers, I have dozens of tickets, all copypasta answers. The clear answer you got is not because you wrote some smart shit, on the contrary... you did some bad stuff and MA is trying to tell you to apply the knowledge - obviously not yours, but they can't be more clear that that, they can't tell you to read the fucking forums and learn from people that do it well...
Someone with some forum experience could make you a huge lists of whining threads, just like this one, after every MM or major events and you can probably spot the same list of people that agrees with the loot is bad. You draw the conclusion. Here's a hint, the list is the same in both Loot 2.0 and in Loot 1.0. Even if went back to 1.0 or to an eventual 3.0, some people will adapt (mostly the same) and the usual suspects will come here demanding their own set of rules for the game and they would fail at that one too.
Here's a scenario:
You are in school. You didn't do your homework, you didn't learned the lesson the teacher is asking you about.
Now, all your classmates (most of them) are whispering you the right answers. You tell them to fo fuck themselves and blame the teacher because you think the education system is broken, because you want to talk about something totally different in her class.
Another scenario:
You walk on a street and your money fall out of your pockets; trespassers stop you and warn you, trying to make you keep your money from falling. You tell them to go fuck themselves and blame the government because they are robbing you every day...
Both of these scenarios apply on some people, they just can't be helped.. even if you have the best intentions, even when you are trying to teach them to not give you (indirectly) money, they will still tell you to go fuck yourself then hand you over their money...
Do yourself a favor and read this post carefully, it's in your interest.
