I actually have a set for my main that I will finish out once 250 JC goes in. If I decided to specifically set aside time from all of the rest of the more interesting stuff to do in the game, in order to farm bugs for gems for an alt, it would probably take about 6 uninterrupted hours as a duo to get a reasonable collection. Most people seem to agree that the drop rates were decreased shortly after the Kunark release. As it stands now, it probably averages 2 full clears or more per single drop.

I am attempting to point out what I believe is a flaw in drop rates that dramatically decreases progression(and for most, the fun of the game) from what you would have seen on live. This isn't blue where I am happy just because I get to cyber an elf on the beaches of Ro. If people came here to re-live the unique experience of red server PvP, I don't see why they should have to endure unjustified code inaccuracies which instead make this server completely unlike live.

Everyone who has posted with their experience from live has agreed that drops were more common. Every bit of factual or logical evidence presented has suggested that gem drops were more common.

On the other side, we have someone saying "drops are fine, buy from me" and another saying "farm more".
