Each generation (instance) of a map is unique, and I have never heard that we monitor the number of instances and reduce the drops. What we do do is reduce the drops if a player goes into an area over and over again in a short period of time, for that directly impacts professional farmers and bot users. Which is a good thing!

REMOVE the auto item select (aka ';'). Bots rely heavily on this 'smart' function to pick up all the drops. |

Since when were monks able to farm IDS? Especially Mo/W... Avicara Brave use Savage Slash and when there's about 50 of them right in the Mineral Springs entrance... yea... Bonetti's will not save you |
