Very disappointed with the GM event drops

What was the idea behind the loot? The drops were incredibly common and some of them won't even be replaced until Kunark. One item was a drop that two full groups of 50s would struggle with and it dropped off something a level 30 could solo.

GM event drops should be more quirky unique items. The items that dropped are - right now - the best loot on the server, some of them by a pretty significant margin.

You realize that in the glory days, GMs gave out ARTIFACTS for what were essentially roleplay quests, and to level 20s no less?

Seriously. Tempest in teapot.

Thats perfectly acceptable in my opinion. They were given out very rarely, and randomly, so everyone had a chance to participate. I wasnt in blackburrow so I dont know what level the monsters were. However...if they are too high they restrict it to high level people. If the monsters are low level, the high level people still just mow them down even faster. Thats always the difficulty with this kind of stuff. I wonder how many hybrids last night were just getting even more frustrated.

disappointed. I deleted one of the things i got, just doesn't float my boat to wear or circulate stuff like this.

Details are overwhelming. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Again, I'm not sure what dropped - but it should be reasonably in line with the server. What's the average level on the server?

If CoFs were dropping, then that'd be ridiculous. I doubt the server staff would allow something like that to happen.

So, someone who participated in the event, spill it.

So those drops were not meant to drop? Totally agree they were overpowered and didn't belong in game yet. That and the event was canceled as we were heading in.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Made for a sad time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thats pretty crappy imo. I don't recall GM events just giving out random AMAZING drops from other parts of the game. It was normally a bunch of cool but worthless junk items, and 1 legendary item.

I'm also disappointed that they spend their time on this stuff when melee are still broken.
