When the chance is so freaking slim that the next 30 times you do it you still get nothing eventually you just quit trying.
IMO I prefer events like the Pirate stuff... gather the items and invest your time pick your reward... something you actually WANT vs lets say doing the roof... I've done that more than 30 times I've gotten 2 drops in all those times... for the time invested in doing the rooms and then waiting on a group and going up there killing all 4 major pita ..... and getting NOTHING time and time again... and finally getting a drop and it's CRAP. I've not once gotten anything off the roof worthwhile. 1 spellbook I'll never use and a staff that's garbage... I get better loot doing T-Maps which again for time invested and all is actually WORTH the rewards.
I've done Despise gone and fought the brothers dozens of times... I have NEVER gotten a single drop from there... EVER... I did Doom over and over for years... finally got a drop just before they changed the way the drops work there and it was a craptastic Dragon Lance that NO ONE would ever want or use.
Ahhh here is the MalagAste I know and love... to poke holes in your arguments
If you are talking about anything for the new treasure maps then you are severely blowing things out of proportion. I've gotten literally every type of thing that is available from stash & supply chests and I've done about 45 (I have several multiples so please come to ATL so I can give you free handouts to stop the whining). Those 40-50 chests have all easily been done in a few hours. I'm sure the same will go for the cache level items when I start doing more of those.
I'm confused though because you are talking about how everything is all grindy in one post and then saying that T-Maps for time invested are worth the rewards? So which is? Too grindy or worth the rewards for the time invested?
Additionally you are complaining about doing the roof 30 times and only getting 2 things? No offense but you haven't put in nearly the amount of work many others have. People have done the roof 100+ times and experiences have varied. Yea it sucks getting some crappy drop you won't ever use but it also feels great when you finally get a cameo.
Honestly I feel like reading through your constant whining is more grindy than anything else in the game I've experienced. If you think the game is such a drag (and feel the need to constantly bash it on here) then why do you still play? If I had as many complaints about the game as you, I darn sure wouldn't be wasting anymore energy dealing with it.
