Do the quality of drops go down when you adventure with hench instead of people? I kinda been given that impression. I tried hanging around the crystal desert on my own in hopes of getting some cool drops to myself but it didn't seem like i was getting anything good.

Its not that the drops are worse, it's just that stuff drops for the henchmen into a void from which it is never seen again... which is to say you won't see it lying on the field waiting to be picked up by someone else.

The amount of stuff assigned to you shouldn't change whether your team is filled up with players or henchmen.

honestly I get more drops when grouped with people then when grouped with hench... could just be my luck.

Personally I like to solo... but those baddies see me coming and know "here comes a silly E/Mo... gets all stand still while she casts everything, then run her down when she's goen nothing left." works every time...

I agree with Mavrik...Things seem to drop for me more than with hench...It's strange...But normally, if I farm, I go with one other person...Or a very small group of henchmen...

I'm kind of in the middle since when i go alone or with group of henchies, i still get good drops. One time while i was with group of henchies, i got a gold shield, a nice gold vampric bow and bunch of purple items. By myself or with other players, i get some decent drops too.
