Mages are up shit’s creek I guess

If you think mage words are dropping too rarely, sounds like the makings of a good bug post to me.

The selectively classic crowd will just say unless we can provide explicit patch note evidence that mage words should be X rate, that no change should be made because otherwise it would make it easier for mages. And then they'll go show you a forum post from some random dude from sometime in 1999 saying he knows what the drop rate is and it's X low frequency, so that's proof of what the drop rate should be.

Nailed it.
No one knows what drop rate were and are today.
But i can tell you we are freaking elites eq veterans killings efficiently with violence 24/7 on this server.
We are also at least double if not triple the number of people destroying all these monsters than during classic launch.

Now i will not say tht words drop less here since they were not even in the game at lunch. But the drop rate is far far far far lower than it should ever have been once the words were out.

If the staff wanted to help, they would have spoken already. This thread will soon be if not already the most viewed thread since green section opened.

I am pretty sure they can data mine the current drop rate. They will have all the evidence that what mages are ask for is insane. Imagine when many mage gestbto 24+, we are not even there yet. There wont be more of those target to kill, they are already getting destroyed as soons as they spawn.

There's very little reason to suppose they ever changed from the rates given on Magelo.

(After GZ increased them, of course)

Don't let me interrupt though.
