VM7 Designs are too rare for low population servers
Hello,
I'm amazed that there isn't a thread about this already. I think the VM7 designs are too rare - especially for lower population servers, let me explain why...
I have never seen any VM7 designs drop and I have done tons of ABHM, DFHM, SSNM and WH. We are the only party that has cleared SSHM in Veritas and I doubt it changes anytime soon. How are we supposed to get VM7 when there isn't enough people in server doing previously mentioned dungeons? There is only a handful of people doing them in regular basis.
There is no way to trade for designs because there are no people doing instances to get the designs. I know only of two VM7 designs that have dropped. Metal gloves and a zerk weapon; and if more would have dropped, I'd probably know because there isn't that many people doing these instances and in Veritas pretty much everyone knows each other; I've asked from different parties, spammed trade and nothing.
There are total of 30 designs (12 weapon, 12 chest, 3 gloves, 3 boots). Let's imagine that the drop rate of designs remains as 1 per week (currently known drops in our server). It would take 7 months and 2 weeks to have a DECENT CHANCE that someone has found a design that you're after for.
Are we supposed to buy server transfers just to go buy designs from another server? If that's the case, why not just put them to TT-shop? I'm kidding about this one, but seriously, this is just broken. Ofcourse the designs are rare in every server, but in lower population servers, trading is pretty much out of question and with this kind of RNG factor, even grinding yourself is pretty much just about some extreme luck too.
Are there any changes planned or is this going to remain same?
In my opinion, Gamefrog should just buff the design drop rate significantly and the fact that you need a separate design for everything + there are so many of them, would still keep getting the designs somewhat a challenge.
Sure VM should be rare and hard to get but if no-one or only a few persons get like a few pieces max during the whole patch, I think the patch is a failure in terms of gear. If no-one can reach the content, why make it...?
Please share your own experiences and thoughts.
