I think, the real problem atm is one that can't really be fixed and that's just that without having thousands of players trading is kinda dead... I've tried for over a week now to find a single person selling marks/band of sin etc... and nobody is trading them, mainly because I feel a lot of the time such items are found there traded within clans/friends so for new comers it's kind of hard to obtain such things without just playing self-found.
This, combined with bad RNG will make something feel hopeless because you've basically got no choice but to just farm that boss until it drops if it's what you need... Like I say, sadly not something that can be fixed and increasing drop rates wouldn't help this problem.

Oh but the drop rate of puzzle boxes, blue organs etc... Seems rediculously low and that does need a buff.
