Actually that is just what I have done. I hunted those and smaller. Too bad that I found that out too late and in reality, I enjoy as much if not more than the big mobs and here's why. For example a Atrox prowler, 2140 HP, My weapon did 60 dmg and I think my amp added around 20. You shoot and shoot and heal and heal and then 5 minutes later (maybe a little less time) and you get 1.1 ped. Alright so here's the thing for me, I stand in the same place shoot the same mob for 3-5 minutes and loose .5 ped or more depending if you count decay. Anyway I like to hunt several mobs in the same time frame and kind of spread the loss over more mobs. I must say that I do miss the rare, that is very rare lately, the big swirls and may do a few runs on the big ones from time to time but never like before. That takes way much more ped that I am willing to spend. Oh BTW in my 12 or so years I have found 1 rare item that was worth something (3500 ped) and never the ModMerc that we all looked for when we first started LOL.I noticed alot of people saying where profitable runs were something along the lines of 40 or 50 profit and bad runs were in the region of -200 -300 and so on , i noticed that too quite frequent as though a pattern..even though i managed to cycle quite abit in 3 days. last 4 or 5 days have been extremely bad, really really bad which made me think time to take a break.
Put money and time to better use, after all when the results are clearly showing you, you will loose it all time and time again and is always proven.
If to make your peds last and stretch you have to hunt kerbs and snables then whats the point of this skilling and buying better gear, Its as though as saying skill up spend more buy more gear hunt bigger so we can take quicker and you loose quicker.
Now had they tweaked their loot algorithm a little where returns are consistent and not spread out where you have to cycle 30k peds and do an activity over the course of a week or had bad runs for weeks in a row to see returns, things might be abit different where your money lasts you a while and you dont mind depositing and spending when its running low.
Then its worth spending and having fun but until then no more depos. that cow milking quote comes to mind and was well said.
A small run, is 200 ped of ammo, and mining 100 double drops with dsec 30 finder = 300 ped of probes.Out of curiosity, what is a run to you?
you're lucky, 2,5 years and counting for me...I know I will get a few "Best ever" replies and congrats to them but I have been going down for about the last 3 or 4 weeks.
Thank you for the clarity.A small run, is 200 ped of ammo, and mining 100 double drops with dsec 30 finder = 300 ped of probes.
That is interesting I also of late have seen several that are unreachable. Sometimes I head butt them and they come around and I can kill them other times they just stay that way. Also I have noticed that I will see a mob and blink and it is gone. Yes I know but I don't drink OR do drugs.I may as well continue from my previous posting with the small test tonight of pathetic looting that coincides with purgers and the other one globalling right now quite a lot. Coincidence? Possibly, but enough for me to shut down.
Plus, mob behaviour was very out of the ordinary - mobs super slow and go unreachable if you move away from them... coincidence? Again, maybe, but outdoors I tend to get wet only when it is raining and seek shelter.
So, seeking ped shelter right now as well......
From December 2007 to July 22, 2018 I depoed nearly every week (Normal depo 200 USD), not really sure how much I spent but I called the cost of training to get to the big mobs and start earning all of it back. Not sure how much I depoed but if I found out I am sure I would faint. Anyway now I just enjoy the games as single person shooter and it is fun without the pressure of trying to get my money back.you're lucky, 2,5 years and counting for me...
Sadly this applies for a LOT of players too.The loot sucks for sure. Everyone thinks MA is up to something, but I am, and have been, convinced that MA has no f*ing idea what the f*ck they are doing.
It's that way for me since december 2017After around 04.12.19 most run sit between 80-85%
customers may just leave and then they don't have any more income... it may be even less than before.Business is business, if they want to stay afloat they need new source of income.
Cutting loot seems to be the fast easiest one for them but it's pain in the a$$ for us, customers. Nobody likes getting less for paying more.
How many times did you say this ?..My payback get also not better. Near everything i do end up in minus. And i mean a big minus, not only some %.
MA, what are you doing? Do you want that most of us start to play other games? If yes, then continue with that greedy loot.
At least, at the moment i try to find other funy games to play, where you dont get a feeling to be a big looser!
How many times did you say this ?..
I mean MA just laugh at this kind of message since they are used to it for about 15 years..
And they perfectly know that 90% of people who just write here "Hey MA my loots sux so much I'll stop playing !", will just DEPOSIT again 2 days later..![]()
best way is to just uninstall it as it will be a headache to re download again 2 days later..it will let you pass the 3 day craving period and break the addiction cold turkey, 4th day you will feel fine and will hear the birds chirping sun shining, people walking past the real sound of chitter chatter, cars driving by and life will be good once again.How many times did you say this ?..

I just played exactly 3H and lost exactly 300PED..Imagine if the cost to play is 1 USD per hour. Thats very expensive for a video game uh dont u think ? Everyone mid and high lvl would love it lol.
Thank you for the clarity.

I'm pretty sure i know why, but i'll keep it a secretAnother case, tell me for example why are people crafting simple 2 conductors and selling them at 103-105 when the actual cost at 94-95% (that with maxed bp) return sometimes is over 110%? Real answer : stupidity (Its Mindark fault they can't calculate the real price of a product).
