do r7/r8 shields still drop in Tyria?

exactly.

That can be turned around, there are no screen shots of direct quotes from anyone associated with guildwars stating that they no longer drop either. Until hard evidence can be given, no body here can 100% state that they No longer drop.

Evidence works both ways, you need evidence to prove, and DISprove things. Just because there is a lack of evidence proving something, there IS also a lack of evidence DISproving it too.

added: my point exactly. In order for these items to drop, people must also farm these areas... not just Assume because other people said "so and such".

So now R7 items are the Bigfoot or Loch Ness Monster of GW...

There is never going to be a statement from Anet to the regards of "We decided to remove these requirements and mods from all drop in the game because..."

Tell you what, I'll go as far as to state that if they do exist given the number of people that have asked about them or tried to purchase them or farm them that if they do still drop they are so rare that only 1 in 1 000 000 will drop each month and its price will be so high as to make it impossible for any normal player to purchase assuming they can find that one person floating in a city spaming WTS R7 X for infinite cash/ecto/ambraces.

thats what i wanted to hear. my point, sort of... They probably still do drop, but never once did i say they would still drop as commonly as before. If thats as far as you will go, i am 100% happy with that.

Do they still drop? Probably
Is their drop rate good? No, it probably sucks like stated above

Has anet confirmed, or anyone official confirmed they no longer drop? NO, nobody has confirmed this. So @ anyone who thinks they just magically stopped dropping, its just because of the insanely low drop rate! Why is it SOOOO hard for people to grasp the concept that maybe its just the drop rate is reaally low( other than you of course, i meen others in this thread)?

Just because Ghostly heroes are reaally rare, does that mean they stopped dropping O.o ?

R7 items DO NOT drop anymore. STFU and stop spreading bullshit

WTS R7 for infinite cash/ecto/ambraces (jk, I won't sell them)
How much is 2x infinite?


Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monster:





You are right, their droprate was always low.
And, as you can also see, the second one is Canthan, not Tyrian.
Meaning they dropped for at least the time between the introduction of GW and somewhere after the release of Factions.

If they don't drop anymore, their value will be even higher than when they do drop.
How do I know that the players denying their current drops are not just driving the market up, since the price of unobtainable items will always be higher than the ones that can still be obtained but have a very low droprate?

It's best if we just say we don't know.
They may drop, they may be taken out of the game.
One thing is sure, they dropped in the past.

The drop rate was low, correct.

Correct. My friend owns a req. 7, max, Crenellated Sword.

Correct.

Stupid.

It's even better if we say they don't drop anymore. Because they don't

No and No

Yes

Lock this thread

No more of this nonsense until absolute proof, in terms of screenshots with inscribeable r7s, is posted.
