I couldn't disagree with you more kira-red and I think
MA would also.
It's built into the system to simply give you nothing from time to time. My WHINE is how they did it to me in this particular case.
I'm not not a WHINE and do nothing person though, I've simply adjusted my playing time down about 80% to compensate
Support did give a very prompt response though.

Since VU 9 my avatar has been doing rather poorly. My returns on hunts have been about 20% of ammo costs, the highest being about 40%. My avatar is a Lvl 34 Laser pistoleer, yet using a Korss H400 5 and 6 missed shots IN A ROW are frequent. About 95% of the time, my first shot is a miss, (shows no damage), however it also always get the MOB's attention as though it had been hit. I always use an AMP on my Korss H400. Usually an A103, however I'd guesstimate the damage it has been doing is in the lower 1/3 of the guns damage range WITHOUT AN AMP 60% of the time. Could you pls check my avatar or something?

Hi,
It is regrettable that you feel this way. However, you have been with us for a long time and you are probably aware of that we cannot discuss issues referring to the core dynamic of the Entropia Universe. There are numerous reasons for this.
However, what we can reveal is that we have not implemented any changes in the distribution of the loot or in the general loot system. The return calculated as a percentage today, is no different from before. The dynamic feature of Entropia Universe has the effect that you sometimes have good times and sometimes not so good. Maybe it does not look too bright for you now, but we can ensure you that your luck will turn sooner or later. Thanks for your patience and your participation in Entropia Universe.Kind regards,Entropia Support

Yea I know. I only wrote because a few other avatars said I should, now I can go told you so, told you so! nah nah! :p
It is quite troubling to me that a weapon that performed very well for me at a lvl 13 skill level doesn't perform as well at a lvl 35, (not even close). Makes me wonder what the point of skills or (L) weapons specs are all about. I'm sure the answer is embedded deep in the core of the virtual universe, so it shall forever be a wonderment to me.
It certainly gives me a better understanding of Marco's statement that players turn over about every 6-12 months though. I think it's regrettable I feel this way also. I wonder why I pay money to do something that makes me feel so stupid, perhaps I should stick with maths or something, at least with maths the rules make sense.
