Lower drop rate for polaris footguards

I am a regular osseocolum hunter and one of the most annoying things following the thrill of a global or HOF with item is seeing that it is worthless. This is the case of polaris footguards. I know it happens with a lot of items, but common, we're talking about a good set of armor here. The rest of the set is pretty much hard to loot, but this part is ridiculously common and pops up in so regularly it hurts. Every 400 ped of ammo, I can be sure I will bring back a pair for the collection.
I mean... is there a market for pixie-with-ubberish-footguards wielders? Unfortunately, no

I know i do not wish to open a shoe store. Personally, i think MA should think about bringing some balance to the way the set is looted. I wouldn't mind seeing the drop rate of polaris footguards falling to half while the other parts doubled frequency of drop.

Would you agree with it?

(Ok, this is a kinda specific poll, and only a few hunters are perhaps aware of this issue, but...)

low drops = complain , to many drops = complain


I know what you mean though, I hunt osse myself and have been known to tt up to 3 pair after a hunt. Would be nice if they dropped a few different pieces.

While they're at it they can increase x5 drops and decrease hl20

I don't understand why you are complaing about reciving items in your loots. It sure would be more fun for you if you looted other items to but please don't complain about reciving armor pices.

Build up a huge stockpile of them instead and wait for MA to change the drop rate. Or have you already :O

I'd be happy to even loot 1 pair or any foot guard, so far I'm at 0 of any type from hunting since they were introduced.

By any chance is polaris limited?

yes, i have given myself the luxury of complaining once in 4 years of gameplay because of items in loot .
Yeah, it's limited. ... And i have a huge pile of footies already, so, i'm kinda sick of it and will eventually start ttíng them, which is a shame since it has so good stats.

And this is where the complain comes. Honestly, if it's to throw to the TT, i prefer oils that i can use to craft. This is not a gun or any sort of other weapon. Personally, i never complain about any (L) kind of weapon coming my way, even if it was an opalo (L). Someone would always need/use it. Heck, X5 and HL20 (L) could drop with the tt of those footies, i certainly wouldn't mind .This is an (L) armor part that needs 6 other parts to be complete. I want to remind that osseocolum drops 2 other parts of the same armor (one of them mentioned by Fi), that in no other way drop as often.



I guess it is dynamics at work?!

Ps: now i think of it, it might be a wonderfull gift to my soc m8s
