This is not supposed to be a QQ thread. I just need some answers, if there are any. I have been running around killing raptors and vaettir since the start of the event, but have hardly anything to show for it. I do not even have 50 of each item and have been at it for days. So here is my question(s):

Is it just me?
Is it loot scaling?
Does anyone else experience this?

The loot scaling part should not be possible:
Quote:
The following are exempt from loot scaling:
Skill Tomes
Scrolls
Dye
Rare materials, such as Ectoplasm
Gemstones from the Domain of Anguish
All other rare (gold) items
All unique (green) items
Special event items
But where is my drops?

Must just be you, I had around 50-60 of eggnog, summoners, and fruitcakes after 20 vaettir runs (about 4 minutes per run). Shards were dropping pretty slow, but I switched to farming Strength of Snow so I could go AFK for 10 minutes and still get something, vaettirs were boring me to death.

Man i didn't even know they were dropping at all, gotta get farming i guess.

Sometimes drops just plain suck for me as well, how long have things been dropping though?

I recently came back to the game and i found out that doing the snowman thing as any/N was not as profitable as it use to be. Makes me think that they did toy around with the drop rate/loot scalling thing.

Wintersday drops have always been low. It's far better to farm quests or trophy items for collectors. Let the raptors have a peaceful Xmas.

i suggest farming the snowball dominece quest w/ a necro and a ranger.. it takes 1 minute, and you get ; 500g, 500 vanguard points(which are normally insane to farm),5,000 exp and 5 frosty tonics.. all in 1 minute . So if u do it right and get out of the area and change servers and stuff for the quests quickly this is an easy way to get a snowman tonic stack in roughly 50 mins. Have fun.. now im gonna go watch the snowman tonic market drop much more then it already is doing xD.

I was leeching a Raptor farmer (W/N), and the drops filled my chat box (stretched to the top of my screen) every time he finished. I personally haven't gotten much, but I don't really farm.

I have been repeating Ft Ranik mission - lots of charr carvings to exchange for wintersday stuff, and a fair amount of stuff dropping.I'm also grabbing a ton of lucky points on the chests.
