I'm a crafter.
I'm a BAD crafter.
Today, or one day (whatever), I had a discussion, with another crafter, who did the impossible. He got x150+ multiplier full condition.
So, by any chance, I just got to craft beside him, and I took my courage and PM'ed him. OMG WTF I couldn't know it would be a so huge surprise.
The guy was so nice. And for sure he was a GOOD crafter.
Apparently, he does like "around 500" clicks a day.
Thats what? 15k clicks a month or so.
He told me he's getting a x150-200 every month or so. And more (like 100k ped from time to time _ years..._)
Ok Ok, so I need to digest the information and compare it to my own stats : I do like 5 times more clicks. And for years, I have never seen a multiplier bigger than x80 in full condition. Let's not even talk one per month, I have never seen such a multiplier for years, maybe 100k's of clicks.
-> So I took it in my face. I'm OK with it, it's Entropia.
-> But still, I couldn't save me from THE question : WHY?
To be honest, it wasn't a huge surprise. For years, I was wondering how could guys hit 30k, 50k, 80k and more with explosive projectiles 4?
How is it possible, they can't craft full condition, the same way I'm crafting and get so poor returns. Just by crafting 5PED/click BP's I need to spend $1k+ a month.
I knew for a long time crafting explo 4 was a huge advantage. I could not prove it. But it seemed clear to my mind.
And still I could not afford it
But now, I have an honest witness who delivered just what I needed.
There are still 2 possibilities :
1) EXPLOSIVE 4 bp is cheated. It is part of a lootpool that, we, other crafters, can't access.
2) There is a personal "Multiplier Lootpool" with a max multiplier cap.
If 2) is correct, then we could assume the frequency of multipliers is balanced. But I'm sorry, a x200 multi every 15k clicks is just far more that what I'm currently doing (and I can't believe the guy does not get x10, x20 and other common multipliers).
Or am I missing something? Maybe it is the popularity of the BP that makes the multiplier cap. I've seen nice multis on Lysterium Powder Container (x100 + and maybe more can't remember).
And I'm 100% sure it's not because many players are crafting something, that, with the total amount, makes it more common to give high multis (which would be a logical thought) because some players have been getting very high multis multiple times, and that is odd.
That makes me think : why, we mid-tier crafters, can't get the big hit? (5 PED/ click would be 25k ped for a x500 for example) why can't we? how are we supposed to survive?
What are your thoughts?
