Loot Boosts being removed from game - PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!

Don't care. IMHO there is a loot drop balance in the game right now that it has needed since the beginning. The original rate of key code generation compared to the likelyhood of getting something good from those boxes just made it a horrible experience where the best guns were so far beyond unobtainable that you could play for a year and still not see a gun without flaws. Right now, key codes, scrip, salvage, and thrash drops are so plentiful that I don't think a loot boost is needed at all.

For the record, the store info for the boost has always been to increase drop rarity, whereas it actually increased drop frequency, meaning it didn't work as intended.

I don't even know how you can say that with a straight face. I made over a million in a weekend in salvage and scrip on PS3 with a clan loot boost. having to buy 2 separate boosts to do the same thing. Is a little ridiculous and I actually think it did work as intended I'd pull 8-11 OJ in a day on those bonus loot weekends

Why is the sky falling again?



Seriously. I think you create drama sometimes just to, well, create drama.

Why re-code this new "score boost" to fix a ""loot boost" that wasn't working intended. Why bother getting folks all worked up over people being able to pay cash to gain an edge on the "leaderboards" , and not just fix the original boost?

People, come on! We have known about the loot boosts being removed! I posted it back on the 15th and got ignored by all of you.

They are blank but if you look close you can see that the names on them are: Scrip and Score. And loot boost seems to be missing.

And again on the 28th and people either ignored it or acted as if it was not a big deal.

I remember it being brought up and someone from Trion (Kiwi maybe?) said something about a visual glitch and our boosts were still there and working. I dont remember them ever saying they planned to remove loot boost...

RNG is all about luck. Yours is good, others not so much. I've played with friend who have pulled 4 OJ's out of 6 boxes while I can stand side by side with them, open 4 times that many and not get one...and if I do get one it's worthless. And that's the problem with any RNG store.
