OK, I went farming ettins today in the morning, got 2 purple and about 40-50 white armors, I come back home after 10 hours and still get tons of white armors, 0 golds... Is anyone experiencing same thing or is it just my bad luck? I did about 15 runs and this is what i get...

Well correct me if I am wrong (which I am sure someone will,gurus don't let anything get through) but I have always heard and noticed that if your current server(American,Europe,etc.) does not have favor then drops start to suck real bad. You can still get a good drop when you don't have favor but the number of these good drops decrease greatly. Just what I have noticed in the past 7 months. So don't bash me if I am wrong , please......lol....:-)

No, Ettin's are not 'crazy nerfed'.

It's either
-Bad luck
-Anti-Farming Code

It also looks like this thread is rolling with false speculations, so...

WOOT, lets spam it till they notice!

Anyways, Stealth Trapper is correct, having the favor does increase the chance of getting better items/loot.

I've gotten a few gold on some runs even without favor, so i think it's just more about having luck and not farming the same spot too much
