    It has been said that for players who join the game when there is a free weekend they get really good loot, also TU8.5 was great but then changed without any notice.

    Who knows what goes on in the background, i don't that's for sure.

    All i know is i see what i see, and like i said this is my experience so far.

    If a player has a bad experience with loot, that's their experience of this game, period.

    You have a different experience: fine, doesn't change a thing, it's still a **** experience for that person.
    "It's just RNG": fine, doesn't change a thing, it's still a **** experience for that person.

    If you're in every topic constantly defending the devs while showing exactly zero empathy towards players with crappy experiences you're not making the point that you think you're making; you're just being a massive ******bag and a shill.

    Came back after short break and honestly not picked up anything worth keeping since 10.1 dropped playing roughly 5 hour per day 5 days a week. Had one full god roll and it was rainbow not seen a single attribute at full roll other than that

    Not too disappointed though to be honest as ive seen,heard and read the lies Massive speel out so i wasn't really expecting anything

    But this loot update was supposed to satisfy the people that have been playing the game for a long time and have been complaining about the loot.
    Its not for a free weekend where they want to try and hook in new people with hey look how great the loot is.
    This could make perfect sense to the Devs to resort to those type of underhand tactics (if you buy into that narrative) as the free weekend guy might think, thats good I will buy it, so the little bump did its job
    But, again, why would they give you/us less than a week of better stuff just to take it away again, it would be so obvious to the long term player, and would makes no sense at all, as all the complaints would just be magnified.

    I think you are seeing RNG at work, some days good, some days bad.

    For me personally, it didnt start great, as in nowhere near the godrolls others were reporting on the first day.
    But Ive played pretty much everyday, and have always found at least 2 or 3 items worth keeping, and by that I mean 1 roll away from being godrolled in all 3 stats.
    Today was no different, and that sort of rate is what I would expect for around 4 hrs play per day, bearing in mind Ive already got pretty good gear.

    What would be the point in giving everyone a little taste for a couple of days and then somehow stealth reverting it to trash again?
    Really not speaking for myself here since I've done very little farming since the update, but be careful when dismissing these kind of posts that quickly. If it was just one person, I might be thinking it's just a case of someone not handling some bad RNG but I keep seeing players reporting the same thing, has to mean something.

    As for your question well OP already provided a valid answer. We have no insight into what's happening behind close doors but I have my own ideas about what primarily motivates decision making and it's not about satisfying the player base or doing what's necessary to balance the game correctly.

    Thats why I was trying (before the update) to point out that it didnt really matter what they did to the chances of better stuff dropping, because as long as there is a minimum, someone will always be on the low side of that for longer than is fun.

    I dont think many/any people are commenting out of spite if they are still getting better drops. But its important that everyone posts good or bad to give the devs a better idea of how well it is working in general.

    I wasnt dismissing his experience of the loot at all.
    I was just giving my experience and questioning why the Devs would only change it for less than a week.

    I dont really consider conspiracy theories as a valid answer to anything

    You only get good loot if you bought the DLC.
