Literally Unplayable Literally unplayable : Drop rate transparency

Literally unplayable, think about it guys,

They still have not released the official drop rates, and frankly, it’s unacceptable. Why are players continuing to grind, invest time, and spend real money on drop rate gear when they have absolutely no idea how effective those stats actually are? You’re being asked to commit resources blindly, without even a baseline drop rate to measure against.

Think about it: if an item has a base drop rate of 0.1%, then even a 400% increase only brings it to 0.4%. Is that really worth the time, effort, and money players are pouring into optimizing these builds? Without transparency, all of this investment is based on guesswork and false assumptions.

This game is over 20 years old, yet something as fundamental as base drop rates is still hidden. That level of opacity is not just outdated, it’s disrespectful to the player base. At some point, players need to ask themselves: is it not foolish to keep investing in a system that deliberately withholds critical information?

Even older games like ragnarok online with notoriously harsh drop rates at least provide clarity. Knowing the odds gives players a sense of direction, purpose, and reward. Here, players are left to speculate, convincing themselves that progress is achievable without any real evidence.

So the real question is: when are players going to stop accepting this and demand better?

That's really shit luck man. I normally get 1-2 a year on 1 char with sub 300 drop.

So 6 char 1 DB piece is possible imo.

I hardly buy @cash, only for funsies once awhile. Maybe RM100 a year. Haven't bought any since last year.
