Nerf conspiracy lol , if there was one then i must have been anets target , was a few weeks back getting nice drops all over gw and suddenly i get days with no ectos or even no golds.Even thought i must be farming places in nm by accident an nope was hm.
Sometimes i go farming and farm for 2 hrs and have maybe 2k profit an before i cud easily make 4k+ and golds/tomes ( i dont rush farm and take my time lol ) .
So the nerf idea i laugh at and since i doubt anets targetted me ( or hope lol ) i sit back and relax knowing that i hate random drops lol

Btw whens the next conspiracy gonna be formed as ive an idea - Usa run anet and are using gw as a type of mind control for the world ( would say uk but we`re about a big a threat to world as a nerf theory is lol ) or gw is the matrix prototype

Okay, let me say this:
WHENEVER YOU GET CRAPPY DROPS, ITS PROBB. JUST BAD LUCK... NOT EVERYTHING WHICH GIVES LESS DROPS THEN BEFORE IS NERFED!

I do 1 UW run/playtime with my VwK warrior
at saturday I had a 10 ecto run (2 from smites + 8 from mindblades) + got no chest spawn
at sunday I had a 6 ecto run (0 from smites + 6 from mindblades) + got 5 chest spawn (3 at smites - never seen 3 chests there before)
I guess it's all random, and depends on luck (once I had 3 weeks of dry smite runs - that was why I started to farm mindblades)

One day, people will have to figure out that poor drops does not equal nerf.

Only bad luck I've had lately is with the Behemoth spawns. Seems like every RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing time I end up getting hit with their damned traps.

And what the hell is up with the people is spamadan selling cupcakes for 500g each now? Roflol.

I don't know why this always comes up... It's all a question of luck! Statistically speaking, killing 8 horsemen would yield 2-3 ectos assuming the mindblades have a rate of 2% ecto drop rate.

People blame some so called anti-farm code when they get nothing or compare themselves to those who said their BEST run was 8 ectos... It goes both ways, so do you blame some farm code when you get more than 2-3 ectos? You don't. It's a question of statistics and some hindsight bias.

I've just done this run a few minutes ago. I got LUCKY. Don't think this is what I get all the time. I average about 2-3 ectos. The run with the screenshot, I got 8 total. The run before that, got 1.

I've never gotten more than 3 ecto's a run (including Aatxes!), smites, chaos planes, whatever. And I've farmed UW a lot. Most runs are only 1 though, yes I am unlucky (it even cost me double the average money to get the unlucky title).

When I first started,I barely got 3 ecos per run.

Now my last 3 Have been 8,7,8 and I would have gotten more if my pc hadnt miraculously rebooted in the middle of a run.

Bad luck methinks.

I've done only 2 runs today + 1 run where i killed only aatxes, thanks to behemoth block...

9 ectos + 2 rubys, few merchant food golds and some purple, yellow and blue dye.

Edit; actually i had only 1 full run and 1 half of the chaos plains, as on my first run i died when i had cleared about 50% of CP (1 group stopped following me so i run back to reaggro them, but waited too long with / didn't notice SF :P)

Out of my 6 succesful runs, my average ecto per run rate is 2-3. One of the runs was ectoless, but the last one yielded me 7 ectos, 5 golds and 3 UW scrolls.

It's all up to Mrs Fortuna.

i dont think ele can do it.. because SF.. maybe with consumables.

I have in my first run 1 and second 3 and in my 3 one 6...

But I do 40mins about the run, i think this is because they were my first runs.

I've been averaging 3-5 ectos per run during the last few days. Best run netted 11 ectos (2e from bone pits), and my worst gave me 0. My last 3 runs have had a total of 2 ectos, 1 black dye, 1 sapphire, 2 uw scrolls, 4 gold items, and about 5k worth of merch crap.

it us not rly about consipiracy but about well, past expirience say with ice wastes, drop rates colla[psed there...so I was kinda scared that they would collapse in chaos planes too, it seems unlikely now judging on how many ectos some of my friends got per run (15 :O) yeye, so, I think its about luck rly.

Well recently my spawns have been terribad, tight squeezes between the Obsidian Behemoths, so I've quit for a few days and hope my spawns won't be terribad.

My drops get really low if I farm UW over and over, so after about 5 runs or so, I take a break go do a PvE mission or something, or even a speed UW run, come back and I'm getting 5-11 a run.
