So I am at work and I see another 5 Jaguar foot guards dropped, 4 to the same person.
We all have seen how they drop like this for months (edit: YEARS, since around 2013). The first hour or two of every Core or mayhem event, or migration.
I think it is time MA figures out a way to make it a bit more fair for everyone.
In last core, I did over 30 hours to test how items drop there:
I had 146 globals, all cat 3 or higher, mostly Evis, and some Harb.
I got about 20 guns in the first 5 hours (33 globals) then after that, I received NOTHING except a 9 ped L binary and a 22 ped L chip for the NEXT 90 GLOBALS.
For 90 straight globals, besides those two little worthless items, all I got was ammo and oil.
On any other planet, no matter what, those 90 globals would have got me 40-60 guns or items, my last 25 globals on Ark got me 18 guns and a few scopes and sights, my last 25 on RT got me like 3-4 new trekkies and about 40 chips and other items and a DOZEN good armor pieces with mu. My last 25 on Cyrene got me 19 guns or swords.(there, a freebie to all you caly-dwellers that never seek adventure...try it)
Finally, I hit a 70tt L Caly Spirit mkIII with some actual MU around Core global number 122....and the last 25 globals NO items.
As you can see by this, 98% of my items came in the first 5 hours, right after the Core zone went active.
I understand some of you will say "that's how it is, adapt or die" I understand that...save your breath. The fact it, it is unfair to others that can't log on right when events start. It has to stop. The amount of people I know in game that are so pissed off about this is huge. EVERY person I have ever talked to about it is upset at how MA has been dropping items lately. Some don't even play now because of it.
There needs to be a better way to do this.
It seems MA has just gotten lazy lately...it never used to be like this. It can't be that hard to fix.
Right now, everyone just hits the Caly events in the beginning and then leaves to get normal loot on other planets...which is fine with me, since I sold all my CLD's, but Caly, if you are listening, you need to step up and get this figured out, because you are killing yourself.
P.S. I also Streamed most of it, and had 15-30 viewers most of the time laughing at how bad Caly loot is with no items (after the first 5 hours). Fix it now before it gets any worse.
