Where is the loot?

[voom]

Having just posted a poll http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/...best-loot.html the first reply was concerned with the major lack of loot over the past few days. I too have found this to be the case with a ridiculous percentage of no looters making it virtually impossible to play without depositing yet more money. I have already deposited the monthly allowance I devote to this game.

So is this just me and my unfortunate Entropian friend or is it a widely held feeling that loot has virtually disappeared over the last few days?

This has been talked about for a LONG time...

It comes and goes

When someone gets lucky, someone else maybe won't

yeah it comes and goes... but, is there an increase in no looters? it seemed much more to me the last few runs. and the "always looting" ambu seem to be paying pecs instead of peds, animal hides and wool instead of soft hide and fine wool.

And yet I feel there are perhaps more people experiencing very bad loot than previously, through random chat with others in game, and if this is the case then loot overall would appear to have decreased.

well, there's more people in game, so ofc more people are going to experience bad loot - it's the percentages that need to be looked at, and none of us has the right info for analysis

same reasoning behind the 'fact' that most car accidents happen w/in 5 miles of the home - most driving happens within 5 miles of the home

Sorry I don't follow, I would have thought that more people would mean more money ingame and therefore more loot

well... more DEPOSITING people ingame = more loot
and... more NON-DEPOSITING people = less loot (divided over more people)

In total it means more loot, but also more people have to share it.

my point is that there are always more people than not that experience bad loot ... so, let's say you get twice as many people in game ... that ofc would mean that twice as many people are going to experience bad loot ... it can look like a system-wide thing when only anecdotal evidence is used, but i would wager that the overall loot, as a percentage, is the same ... just my opinion, of course
