I have been doing some hunting of punies and have made quite a few runs, I would say over 20 and maybe 30. What I have found is the loot is awful. It does not bother me that much because I have reason to hunt them and they are not my major mob I like to hunt so the loot is not my purpose for hunting them.
I usually do 20 ped runs and with the equipment I am using (Mod Merc lol) I estimate I kill between 250-300 per run depending on the ammo I get in loot. Of all the runs I have profited 3 or maybe 4 times and the rest of the time 25 to 30 percent on most all of the runs. I also noticed almost all of the weapons, like 99% are laser type plus the B101 amp.
I think this is hard on the new player and makes him/her feel that this game is only here to get the money fast as they can. Now let me say that only a fool would think that MA is doing this for fun but 25-30 percent at a time is a little much and especially for new players. New players are the way to keep the game going strong and losing them in the first couple of weeks will really hurt the game.
What I would like to see is a little looser loot on punties. Not to guarantee to profit on every run but more than 10% of the time and little higher return than 70-75 percent on a losing run. I remember MA saying, when the shrapnel was introduced, they could adjust the drops up or down (Not sure why that would make us happy). And I would like some BLP weapons like the Rubio, Azuro, EWE EP-2 proton and B101 amp.
I have no fantasy about this is going to happen but I do think it might help the new player to stick around longer.
Oh, BTW for all of you that have got many BLP weapons in loot on the punties that's fine I just have not.
