Looting ESI (Empty Skill Implant)

[Katla]

not really i dont believe in luck

I believe there is a balance for esis. In past i felt this on my own by camping mobs that had lower esi drop rate. When i started looting i had like 6-7 esi in few hours. Later on i started doing SK waves and got 1250 1250 and 1000. After that for 2 years i didnt loot any 100+ esi's.
I have some friends who only hunts big stuff and never had full esi, my only explanation is they get small ones.

Another observation is the quantity of esi's. If lets say (all numbers are just an example) in a period you need to shoot 60k to generate 10 ped esi in another period is 90k. Thats how i feel it is "dynamic". MA only playing with the quantity we spend increasing and reducing from time to time, this makes the fluctuation of the price.

Well there's the luck part - if you're online when MA decided to tweak stuff, or ESI rain happens after an event and you're there! Lik I said, if you're constantly online, you're more likely to catch the lucky times. (Captain Jack had a fun thread about this a couple of years ago, before they changed the format of Mayhem. Everyone ate chips to skill down to their category pre-Mayhem, and consumed the skill-filled ESI after, and at some time after the ESI rain started. I think he reported 15k ped MU value of small to medium ESIs in one night of hunting with a team. Too bad I can't find the post..).
