My list of balancing

[vaudeville]

If drop rates are going to be nerfed on dreamland items then they would need to all be buffed to make them worth farming for. The only reason that I bothered to farm that zone repeatedly was for Pboxes. The fact that I found a couple con rings was nice but not much else was of any worth to players as far as trade goes. At least for the players that actually have the currency to trade for the items. Those top tier players have already moved on to farming Crucible items. What the hell do they need a Husk of Kaluut for?

Which brings me to my next point. The drops rates that are being suggested here are coming from a guy who is farming with the absolute best gear in the game and who farms with a group of other top players. Of course he will think that everything is too easy to come by. I think that making changes based on the experiences of a chosen few that sit at the very top of the food chain would be foolish at the very least.

As more and more end game gear is added to the server, the gap created between the average player and the 1337 Haxor players will only increase. This is just what happens. It's not necessarily a bad thing but catering to those elite few because they want the items that they are hoarding to be worth more is only going to ruin the fun factor of this sacred game

This gentleman completely gets it, ladder reset or not. At best, only the elite or rather I should say very lucky seem to be rewarded the most . Everyone else is stuck grinding until either they get help from those that were the luckiest and/or more committed or they're stuck trading whatever lesser things they can scrounge that the elite may need, but would rather not waste their time getting. Otherwise I think you'll have a worse situation than you do now.

On another note, I'm a lot more worried about caches dropped by azathoth than dreamland bosses (unless caches themselves are either very hard to open or have less chances of giving players something they want) since as of now it is better to farm him than it is with dreamland bosses (I've certainly noticed far less people doing dreamland bosses since the last patch).
