The conflicting messages from GGG is incredibly disconcerting. At first they said it was not possible nor would they ever and then later they said they can and do.

My parents also told me Santa Claus was real. Not all lies are rooted in evil. I'm sure they put that initial front up so people wouldn't have the exact conversations being had in this thread right now.

Theres a difference between a parent telling a small child Santa is real vs a gaming company telling its player base A but in actually are doing B.

Wasnt any proof of blizz doing it either, dosent mean they didnt, and everyone that actually put time into the game knows that they did.

There wasn't any proof, but everyone knew that they did. Listen to yourself. Seriously.

I'm curious where they stated this at. Any proof?

2) They have a mind set altering drop rates is a way to improve the game.

No. They see it as a way to combat rmt and cheaters. That's simple ongoing maintenance of the game, and it's a no brainer, it makes total sense for them to implement.

Imo their only mistake was publicly stating it.

No the mistake was to turn off the rng for "legitimate" accounts ( i use "" because Chris said that they are not legitimate after he had a glimpse)

i noticed that when i play a character after a long hiatus there are always better drops. today in the morning i had 6 uniques drop on me in like 5 minutes of playtime. on 3 characters that i dusted a bit to do a quick gem test

i average one unique per 3 days (no iir/iiq)

and i seem to be getting way more chaos orbs than average - i have like 80 now from drops alone and i find one per like 1-2 maps. again - no iiq worth mentioning

but on the other hand my divine orb drop rate is 1. one divine trough all my playtime

RNG is RNG.

No RNG is not RNG( in this case), it happens to a lot of players. A LOT. Try it yourself.

TOTALLY CONFIRMED.

AFTER I GOT A STACK OF 10X MIRRORS ON SOFT CORE I DID NOT SEE ANY MIRRORS DROP IN MY GAMES.


CLEARLY GGG IS ALTERING MY DROP RATES.

UNFAIR. IM CALLING THE BAD BUSINESS BUREAU.

No you don't get it, droprates probably do not look at your stash, it works in phases.
1 week : Phase 1 you have good rng. You play for many days/hours => droprates nerfed for you ( mirrors on stash does not matter)
Wait for phase 2 ( the day after or dozen of hours later ): Good rng is back.
2 weeks : Play on phase 1 = Good rng. Stop before you are nerfed. Come back second week and you will have good rng ( so you have similar amount of good RNG without having to play as much as the guy who played for a full week)

It just doesn't. make. sense. That's all. Why would they target individuals to fix the economy? If there are too many Chaos orbs just adjust the drop-rate globally. If there are too many 6L's showing up, adjust the link percentage globally. It serves no purpose to target individuals. With no rationale behind your conspiracy, your posts (and similar ones) just come across as sour grapes. Some people are lucky, some people aren't. I haven't been terribly lucky, but that doesn't mean the company is out to get me.

Actually, they stated they have neither capability or the will to do so.

What exactly is your point then? My analogy already addresses what you just posted so why post it again?

my point is they stated they have neither capability or the will to do so and then pull a 180 and said they have both the capability and the will and your analogy is not apt.
