We have so many minutes of favor that pugs are going into FOW/UW literally every second. Trust me soon ecto and rare drops will be merch crap (not like they already aren't.)
Sure, I am all up for more people being able to afford obsidian, but the idea of ecto being under 1k gives me a shudder, and it will be. Ecto is the best judge of the economy and if it is low the ecomy is low. Preferably I would like a few days with no drops in UW because people will be buying ecto and shard from people and material traders rather than farming it.
Your thoughts.
P.S-I know that this is never going to happen, just want your thoughts.
Does anyone else think drop rates of everything in FOW/UW should be lowered?

No, cheaper ecto's/shards makes me happy. Still wouldnt buy them until they're 100g/ea though :P

Fortunately there is a large ecto/shard "gold" sink in the form of obsidian armor and more recently chaos gloves. Which helps to stabilise.
IMO they need to make it one minute of favour earned for each max title.

Ectos droped to 5K when the loot nerf was introduced, largely as ecto farming became the only game in town for most players. We have had a year of that and ectos are still 5K, we have had global favor for a long time and ectos are still 5K.
So where is the evidence that ectos will become merchant trash? There isn't any, not one jot. Sure a lot of the other stuff is cheaper now, they are very old skins, it happens to all skins, you could cut the drop rates and it wouldn't make a difference to their price, the demand isn't there as it used to be.
What they need to do is make other elite areas more open and accessible, not attempt to kill one of the more popular ones.

I dnt think they should be lowered but if you are that concerned, maybe change the requirments to enter, im not sure how, but like maybe instead of ToA etc. should be moved to later in each game so newer characters cant go in UW and FoW as they please. I'm actually not that bothered if the prices drop, jsut means cheaper FoW armour and some of the FoW armour just doesnt look good enough for the price you are paying anyway lol.
Btw, when a title is earned how much does the favour go up by?

No, drops are good has they are, 5k ectos is good, even if it lower a bit to like 3k I don't bother.
Buddhaofwar
I'm all for decreasing the drop rate. Ectos are getting a bit too cheap atm, and they are kind of the main form of currency among most players. If it keeps lowering, trades will become more of a hassle for anything above 100k. I know someone will just say 'well, use more then' but really, thats only a temporary solution, eventually it would reach the point where there is actually a cap on how much something can be, simply because of low ecto prices, and the trade window cap.

I believe that you are trying to protect what you have already. I been doing FOW and UW since the begining of the game and right now, FOW even in hard mode gives you CRAP Drops. I think I get better drops in NM.
Now asking to have no drops at all because you are afraid of the economy?
Man the economy has been in a stand still for a while now. The problem is not the shards, or the ectos but the Ambraces.
Those people who where able to get "away" with stacks of them. 100k + 15 ectos for one.
So please, stop sharing these ideas of "NO DROPS".
Ectos the same way, you get like 1 for every 5 runs. 2 if you are lucky. What rate drop do you prefer??? 1 every 10??

I bet all that vote yes to the 'remove lootscaling' thread agree with that, XD.
If they added inscriptions there, making rare skins have reduced drops rates may work, but as things are right know, the drops ares are just fine. And the ecto drop rate is quite enough, considering how much people like those horrible chaos gloves.

no.
its fine as it is.
8-10k ectos is pointless at this time of the life line of the game.

No, I hope nothing changes, Because after i finish GWEN I am going to build my monk and my ele so i can farm fow/uw and get to experience it. If they nerf the drops and make it even harder then it sucks for those of us who have not been farming there for years. Leave the drops alone so its fair for all.
N1ghtstalker
djeez kid
i'm already getting purples constantly dropped from HM chests and you wanna nerf the one or two obsi shards i get for each run i do?
why don't you nerf my new sinspiker while you're at it so i'm totally screwed -.-

They want to maintain the "status quo"
Not let any newbies in.

If so many ectos are droping why is it I have not seen anyone selling any for the past couple of days at least in LA, TOA or Kamadan. Both euro and Am districts.
As for the OP's idea NO that would be a very bad idea.

And that ursan takes the cake at farming is just lame but then if i would go into that id have a 3 page long piece of text with all my rants on how i feel about ursan, not worth my time and no one would read it because it'll be to much to read.

Dpes anyone else think that the trolling rate of trolls should be reduced?
Arkantos
The amount of ectos/shards dropping in a full UW/FoW clear is already quite low. I don't see why you want to make them drop less.
Yawgmoth
Those areas and their drop rates weren't designed with ridiculously overpowered ursanway+consumables in mind. I totally agree on lowering drop rates for shards, ectos and gold items in hardmode (hm is not hard for imba ursan, nm has close to no gold drops). Lowering those to 50% of current rates would keep things balanced.
But there's a much better solution, just nerf ursan and consumables...

Ectos seem to have an artificial price floor of 4.2k. It has gone below that, but I think that was a glitch. They will never drop below 4,200 gold, so don't freak out.
Pleikki
Yeah i think it should be decreased. IF ppl wouldnt have stacks of ectos now..
MisterB
Yes, please decrease the number of ectos and shards you get by giving them to me. Everyone wins.
The drop rate is fine.

People complain about the economy of GW, but many of the ideas to "fix" the economy of GW are rather, crappy.
Arduin
Not needed, methinks the Ecto price of 4.5-5k and the Shard price of ~2k is here to stay.
Jensy
If the reason for this wasn't so much "Wah, I can't play the game normally and get money, I need to farm EnS and need MOAR money... MOAR MUAHAHAHA!" I may be compelled to care.
As it's not, no... the drop rate is fine. And really, since people -- I'm guessing -- want the price to go up so they can sell what they farm... if the drop rate goes lower than it is now (which is total shit), what would you have to sell, eh?
>_<

what should be lowered is the amount of times(account based) you're allowed to enter said areas. not the drop rates.
like say, no more than...8 times per 12 hours? (now that we have perma favor). it'll create a nice uproar for the dual/solo'ers.
I mean..I can only farm 2k faction a day...
