Sorry I missed that part.

It just seemed as if you already knew the answer.

I mean do you actually think people give your friends stuff because he has the special edition (you claim that in your post)?

NM, I just thought you were venting.

Nothing whatsover gives you better drops than anyone else in the game, it's pure luck.

Well, Anet could be using subliminal messaging:

"Buy the special edition or forever be cursed with sh!tty drops"

Of course, there's a motive for Anet to do this. If you don't buy the special edition, they'll make your time miserable until you buy one.

Also, they send super models into space so they can test how gravity affects the boobs of the ritualist. Then they apply the boob shaking into the game so that they can hypnotize us to do their will with those jiggly boobs. The boobs then only have a 60 minute recharge time and casts instantly. No hex removal seems to get rid of it.

But out of nowhere an Anet employee called Joe, discovers this evil plot to take over the world, so he designed the perfect turn-off, the assassin-boobs. Modelled after his own coffee table at home, he developed the perfect flatness that'll make anyone puke.

Anet discovered his deceit a month after Factions release. He was stabbed with thoothpicks and had fireworks shoved up his ass. His corpse was later sent to rest on Shing Jea Island where Master Togo can teabag his face for all eternity.

The assassin class couldn't be removed because of the potential uproar from the Secret Society of ninjas of America that happen to play Guild Wars to sharpen their skills to fight the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that were destroying their homeland. Anet couldn't increase the boob size either because Joe deleted all of the data they had collected from porn sites, all of which amounted to 80GB of data gone. Now nobody will know the true breast size of Jenna Jameson.

Anet was furious! Their plans to hypnotize millions into brushing their teeth every morning was foiled. Gum plaque and gingivitis spread like wildfire and the dentists had patients rolling in by the hour. With their secret war against dentist lost they created the Christmas event where they put in digital pixelated candy cane items, to stop the GW players from eating too much real life candy. That was a failure. Nowhere did it match it's previous attempt to get player addicted to alcohol.
Statistics show that with the advertising of alcohol in games, there has also been an increase incidence of pirates in the Atlantic ocean by 50%. Everyone knows that increasing pirates in the Atlantic contributes to global warming. Global warming had been a side plan of Anet for years. Not much is currently known about that plan.

Meanwhile in the other side of the world, a new hero will emerge from hiding.

Drops are random. Some people have the luck, some just don't. There is a person in my guild that gets the luckiest drops I've ever seen, and they don't have the Collector's Edition. (They got a 15%^50 req 8 Zodiac Axe from a chest that yielded nothing but caster staffs/wands/offhands to everyone else that opened it, and that was just the beginning of the run.)

Demesis, you have seen clearly into the blackest depths of the dark heart of ANet!

My own luck with drops is poor most of the time, but it really is just statistics. Except when I play my monk, then I wonder.

Statistics never lie! Look at my Pirate statistics! With the sudden rise in pirates, we can have a global disaster!

I own CE. Never gotten a Green or drop better than a Black dye.

(BTW, I've only gotten Black Dyes in pre-searing. I do think dyes drop better in pre, but hardly worth farming for.)

Side note: Dye drops less in Cantha? Or is that just me?

Dye does indeed drop more frequently in pre-searing Ascalon.

3 accounts...
1) regular Prophecies & Factions (mine)
2) CE Prophecies & CE Factions (mine)
3) regular Prophecies & CE Factions (my wife's)

On #1 and #2 I regularly get good dye drops, and black dyes fairly often - probably around 15 black dye drops in the year or so I've been playing. I haven't seen a noticeable difference in the overall quality or quantity of drops between account #1 and #2.

My wife, on account #3, gets a little less dye than I do in general, only 1 black dye in a year, but she almost always gets more item drops (greens, golds, etc.). Ex. Doing ToPK, she's gotten at least one green every time we've done it, usually 2-3 greens, and once she got 4 greens. I usually get none, sometimes one, and never more than two.

My conclusion: it's random.

You won't get better drops on a special edition of the game.

I own CE versions of GW & GWF and my drops suck for the most part.. aka a person who has paid $120 for just to campaings and Anet is not rewarding me for it in game other then glowing hands w/ emotes & special dances with rit and & sin.
