I'm sure there's a post about this already, but since search is disabled...and I couldn't find a post...here goes.
A guildie and I have been trying to farm greens and elites this weekend. Together, we've killed over 50 bosses so far. So between both of us, that's over 100 boss kills.
Not one single green drop. Not one. And as I go through, I check the wiki, every boss we have killed has a green.
I checked with the rest of our guild, and everyone is noticing that greens do not seem to be dropping at all for them. One guy got one to drop after killing the same boss 32 times solo. Does that seem like double green drops?
Greens dropping LESS?

I bet your hechies stole them all. Ask them to empty their pockets before going into town. And if Devona is in your party you may have to use violence. She is such a thief..!
Double a minor chance random drop randomly assigned to a specific group member does not mean they are going to be common. Still fairly elusive IMO.

yeah, we have 6 heroes between the two of us, but still....100 bosses, and no greens for either of us? I must have real back luck...of course, don't even get me started about lockpick retention rates....lol

Greens have a low drop rate. Doubling the chance still results in a low chance to drop.

Double chance to drop doesn't mean you got one every other kill.
Try opening 1,000 chests, you'll see it's spot on.

Can get up to 3 greens from a single group in DoA atm... So no, greens are definitively dropping more.

Same for me have soloed Exuro 50 times 25 in NM and 25 in HM and no green drop I've tried taking out the patrolling titans first also then his group and still nothing.

I learned this the hard way last time. Greens, don't expect to get them ever. And double a small number is still a small number.

Greens are cheap and will only get cheaper, no reason to ever farm them. Just go to Spamadan and put out a WTB and you can get them by the hundreds.

uhhh i just got 2 of the same green from a boss after only killing it once, the bosses name was Kepkhet Marrowfeast.

2 greens from 2x 2man Drazah Thicket vanquishes (5bosses each run)
farmerfez
so instead of 2% you have 4%....
Don't expect them to be dropping like hotcakes

A little math. You kill 50 bosses with 3 heroes.
That means of the times the boss could drop an item, a player got 12.5 drops and a hero got 37.5 items, not including the times that no item would drop at all.
Greens would have to have a drop rate of 4% (and 8% at this double weekend) for you to "expect" to have gotten a green by now. Its been well documented that the rate is far below that.

The drop rate of greens is pretty nuts. Sometimes I do 10 runs and get 3-4 greens. Sometimes I do 100 runs and only get 1-2 greens. I H/H for speed and flag them away before I finish off the boss.
Also, H/H take more drops than a party of humans. When I play in groups, I tend to get a good amount of drops (atleast 1 drop every 13 kills) but with H/H I might go 30 kills without a single drop.
I hate the way drops work in guildwars and wish it was fixed. But thats not gonna happen. Solo is the only answer.
I miss the factions drop rate days. I farmed wing axes for a single week. 5 days. I ended up with 31 wing axes and sold 30 of them for 5k each. Ah, good times.
Back when zealots was good 5/-1. Before they made zealot into garbage. 1/-1 sucks.

I found a green drop on accident. The chances are there, but still unlikely to find.

I worked on survivor 3 this weekend (got it about an hour ago, woo) and I killed in the neighborhood of 60 bosses (with h/h). I got one whole green to show for it -- Onwa's Aegis. I don't know if that means they're dropping less, but it was a little bit weird :P
DarkFlame
@The Air Revenger Its actually been well documented. Kepkhet often does drop multiple copies of her green, nothing to do with the weekend.
@HuntMaster Avatar Zealous was never 5/-1.

I went out and cleared Unwaking Waters (explorable) with heroes and hench, just mucking about in normal mode. Got Rajazan's Fervor, a green I've been wanting for years.
Went and played in Morostav Trail, got Kyril's Fervor. Again, full party of heroes and hench.
Decided I wanted to get a green spear, so went into Dejarin Estate and killed Corporal Luluh a dozen times (including three or four times solo with my perma-sin). No green. But I did get Podaltur's Fury after the last trip. I got tired of killing the bosses near the fort and went out to kill other bosses.
Considering that I almost never get greens, this is a huge increase.
Edit:
And that's funny. The very first time I killed Corporal Luluh today with my perma-sin, got the spear. Yay.

It's really all on luck with the green droppings. The double chance of drop rate increases your chances by just a small margin. I've tried to farm for a green sword in CoF many times, and still didn't get any from the end dungeon chests. When I was preparing for another go, an alliance member told me he got the sword earlier that day. First try.
Made me quite jealous of him, but he was nice enough to give it to me for free. Now I have Murakai's Blade.
So either way, whether we are in a double green drop rate, or not it all means the same thing. You won't receive any green drops unless lady luck is by your side.

I don't normally farm for greens on purpose. If they drop good, if not.... meh. But this weekend I decided to have my sin farm greens for all of his heroes. I'm through half of them already and I've really only spent a total of maybe 6 hours farming for them all weekend. So, ya, it's gotta be just luck I guess. I farmed Grabthar for his hammer and got it on my 8th try. At 2 minutes per run that's not bad at all. Yes I know it's a crappy hammer, but "By Grabthar's Hammer, by the sons of Worvan, you shall be avenged." That's hilarious! Unless of course you haven't seen Galaxy Quest yet.
Anyways, usually within 10 or so tries I got the green I was farming this weekend. Is that good? I dunno. Do I care if it's good? nah. Just doing it for fun anyways. Plus I'm only really going for greens that are fast farms anyways. 5 minute run max, if it's longer I can do without it.

I play PvE alot, I cap skills alot.
I've only ever had something like, 5-10 greens.
1x2 is 2.
Not 50.
small number x small number = pretty small number.
