Hey ya’ll! First of all, this is not a loot rant. I am somewhat happy as it is. I just want to branch off the discussion “90% Loot Return” and plant a little seed to see what grows.
So, from plenty of logs and tests the community have done, most of us (yes, I know, not all) have agreed to that the average TT loot return is around 90% over time. But now I want to point to the pink elephant in the room that nobody mentioned yet.
90% return per hunt over XX time and cycled ammo. Let’s say this is true. So you decide that you will make only one last cash deposit into EU ever, just a one-time chunk of lets say 1000 ped (Amount not so important, just making a point). You go all in and spend the full amount on a hunt and get 900 ped (90%) in return (Only taking TT value in consideration). You cycle this 900 ped and next time you’re back with 810 ped TT, next time 729 and the next 656… Well, and so on, you get where I am going with this. So unless you keep depositing cash into EU, wouldn’t it really be 0% return?
Yeah I realize that I leave out a lot of parameters such as skill gain that you can chip out and sell, the possibility to hit a big HoF or loot some rare items, but let’s keep this to the “average Joe” scenario. Thoughts on this?
