Here it is for you guys.

He's a busy guy, and I got the answer that was requested. I hope you'll understand that I'd rather not go bug him for "is that max this or that skin or those specs or which campaign or what chest or...?" I think it's cool that they drop, and I guess over time, the odds improve that one will be offered for sale or trade. Well, it may be unless the person who gets the drop values having it over selling it, of course. If I got one, I don't think I'd ever part with it!



Heres the thread where it was posted too.

it's not that big of a deal tbh, i have a guildie with a req 7 falcion that's max damage, 15^50. req 7 is the same as req 14 to me (although i 'never' use anything higher than a req 9) i still have enough attributes to use a req 14. so.. all and all... it's not that big of a deal. people are ignortant and are quick to flame others.. just because they DO flame you and tell you you're lying and are NOT right and do NOT know your facts does NOT imply that you aren't correct. if you know they drop, and you have proof because you've seen it, then hey, you don't need others to tell you if you really saw it or not.

Eh, Galie's been wrong before. And this "John" might not have understood the question. Still, I'll believe them. However...

innocent until proven guilty, unless you can get someone like Gaile or some other Anet programmer to say the other way. For Now, that is the truth ^^

That's cool but they must have a .000001% drop rate.

Well, that's the thing, we were all ignorant - as in no one knew if they dropped. I, like many others, simply argued that since no one knows, they don't exist until proof says otherwise. This is proof, so I will now concede that they do drop (unless this John fellow is sadly mistaken, but I am giving him benefit of the doubt). It's really no big deal, I'm just a 'believe it when I see it' kinda guy.

Chances are, he was talking about req7 armor 15 stuff. Neither of them mentioned the fact the item had to be max.

Not like I ever cared about the subject to start,
but let me point out that "oh I went and asked him and he said yea" is hardly rock solid.

Now like I said, I could care less either way, but it didn't seem gale took the question too seriously.

I understand the sentiment and there is no need for exaggerated reactions and flaming, I do agree. I must say though that the dependability of Gaile's information has suffered in recent months.
My stance therefore is neutral and I will have to see it to believe it.

It's not official untill it's on the gw website to me therefore but considering that they are being traded more recently I would suspect that they must drop still and that to me is more convincing evidence if you will.

Wait, ummm, I must've missed the memo but, does it matter if it still drops or not?

If it still drops but nobody gets it (for the time being), what good would "knowing that it still drops" do? To keep you searching? Seriously?

If it still drops and I have one for sale, would the fact that "it still drops NOW" makes it cheaper? I doubt it.

All in all, I don't see the point of the entire arguement. Hell, you can't even show the req of your weapon to boost your e-peen unless you force someone to TRADE with you to see it.

I know exactly what you mean. And lower reqs don't even deal more damage than higher reqs, the only difference is that you have the 'option' of putting less points into the line - and who's dumb enough to go fighting with 7 points into any given line?

*sigh* these silly reqs are the paradox of the guild wars economy...

I thought the general consensus, in previous threads, was that they still dropped, just not in Nightfall or GW:EN (hence no inscribable r7's)?

If that's the debate he thinks he's won, I don't think it's over yet.

I'm pretty sure John doesn't know his stuff. I stand by what I said: prove it by showing an max r7 item ingame. Either an inscribable one, or prove that it dropped recently.

The last r7 I know of dropped just before Factions came out, I have not even heard of one since. Most people don't even believe they exist, but I still have that FDS. Blue, no mods.

On the contrary look into those threads to see what the general consenus was.

Gold Max req7's dropped from factions itself (referring to the celestial ones), Also got a req7 gold celestial shield drop soon after the game came out.

even if drop rate is low, at least now we know it is not 0%
