Can we have an official explanation on recent loot nerf?

[Jeronan]

So I guess it's grind keys or spend lots of RL cash on boxes to get weapons that are not sold on any vendors? I expect they will nerf key drops next, infact I am counting on it.

I am getting the feeling this might be the "true" reason for the loot nerf!
And they already did nerf key drops... as I have gotten very few key drops last night, compared to the amount I got the day before!

It seems TRION is more focussed on grabbing cash from players as quickly as possible, before the game tanks completely.

I'm not trying to invalidate anyones argument here, I highly doubt I've even put in 50% of the time many other users have, but saying that, my first mini boss post patch was one of the big mutant grenade launching dudes (the ones that look a little like rogue trooper on steds), and he dropped a blue shotgun for me which was actually a huge upgrade from what I already had.

Again, I'm not trying to say there definitely isn't an issue - but equally there's definitely a chance, however small, to acquire decent loot from mini bosses.

I have almost done all PvE 'content'; missions and explores except Marin which has 2 bugged goals....

All left is to do 4 co-op goals which will put me at lvl 1k. After that, all there is to do is grind combat/weapons + their goals and farm but evidently they don't like that.

Yeah I'm sorry but this loot nerf is a little harsh, and Arkfalls still don't drop anything great.

At the risk of sounding like a massive fanboy, my first Arkfall post patch dropped a blue shield. Not the type I want to use granted, but it was blue none the less, and previously I'd been getting nothing besides currency/keycodes.

balls - I posted in the wrong thread here!

We found that loot was dropping far to often for players. Some found loop holes to run missions over and over again until they got their desired loot. We adjusted both these things to provide the proper scaling and leveling around loot.

I'll show you! I'm just going to play more and more and more until I get that loot any way. So there!

Why are people playing the game like it's one big rat race? Take your time, enjoy whats on offer. Seems so silly to finish off content in an mmo as quickly as possible especially one that has just launched.

..welcome to an mmo and the responsibility they have to keep a balance.

Agree. I guess I am odd I enjoy getting Loot?! Not now not much loot around. I have a veteran Character he is EGO 297 in all that time I have seen ZERO Assault Rifle's drop from normal mobs or mini bosses, I did get one as a quest reward. Actually other than flashbang grenades and lousy white shields, I have seen no loot. Rather boring!
