If you've reached CS/W and still not had even 1k that's pretty bad luck.

I'm past those, and I believe my best solo TT loot is about 1.9k... From an Argonaut Young a few years ago. I almost exclusively only hunt big mobs, such as Dome 4 Aurli, big Atrox, Segs, Osse, Chompers, Big Scipulor, Hogglo, Caperon, etc. My best item ever looted was an ESI. Been playing for 5 years and still waiting to break that 2k barrier. I usually hunt strategically and efficiently with my equipment and use high end scopes and lasers. If they were giving out a gold card reader for EVERY 500 USD you have deposited, I could probably glue them all together and make a nice comfy chair. I am the ultimate example of wrong place at the wrong time. Thousands of globals.... Just all small stuff. People tell me I am either very due for something huge or very cursed.

I'm the same as you, with the exception of never even having a loot breaking the 1K barrier, that is. My highest loot after a fair amount of hunting the last 4 months was a lame 181-PED Snarg that somehow managed to make it on the HOF charts. MA must've just reset the HOF list or something. The loot was all oils.

I think there is a big difference in amount of hunting between you 2.
I had some 1k hofs in the old days too. But since 2 years 700 ped is my highest loot (no items either). In those 2 years i got too level 48 hit after chipping out.
I think MA doesnt like chipping out.

My socmate vmax has been hunting for some years now too, has decent skills and never had > 1k neither.
I still think the 10k fefs etc was a bad move. Even when i get 1k now i won't be as thrilled as I used to be, seeing those 4k tantillons and snables above my entry. You can't upgrade either with 1k ped more.

So i'm still waiting for MA to give me my korss back

u have to try it before u whine back

ur lvl53 thats 10lvl above me and ur solo pests been 2 ubers and lotsa hofs...
im lvl43 my solo best been 292ped and my only hof was 245ped(what came in lvl42) GG i dont think i can catch ur hofs within 10lvls

if there really is ppl who say that they cant get 4 digit loot.. they havent tried crafting or mining but dunno if its smart thing to change 20kpeds to 1kped loot

and what it comes for doer... guy has chipped shit load of skills... and while checking few things from his avi dunno how its possible to have 1500 coolness and 69 agility (unless uve sold it a little)

im 64 agility and i have way over 1500 coolness (actually that amount came in 2 days after the unlock)...

i can chip myself to lvl80 and whine that i havent got any solo hunt loot over 300ped

Ruskea - and other in this thread about MY club.

My club is for people that have skilled naturally to Wounding and Combat Sense without getting a 4 figure ped TT loot.

So far, only I and Doer meet the criteria.

Doer is a special case, he has chipped, so falls out of the "naturally skilled" element, but Doer is a skills guru, and he says that had he not chipped, he would be past these 2 milestones by now, and I believe him. Even though he kinda disqualifies himself by having chipped.

I have to have someone in my club to have fun with

Anyone else fit these requirements???

Actually, my skills are quite similar to VmaX's, I know him well, from the old MindArk public forums. We go back a long ways He's maybe 10% ahead of me, skill-wise. And yes, he's one of the very rare few avatars who are similarly skilled (or more) and never looted an uber.

I'm very close to joining your club, safara. Level 45 Laser, Level 43 BLP sniper, so I'll be closing in on Combat Sense and Wounding in the not too distant future. I'm almost 100% certain I'll not have ubered before that time, or afterwards, either.

All skilled the hard way, too. I never even took advantage of exploits like bee-fapping or acid-pool-fapping or bot-scanning-when-they-didn't-shoot or container box-coloring before MA removed containers from the TT's, and many more. All skills acquired from pure hunting, in the particular style I hunt with. Oh, I didn't chip in, but I did sell a chip with 800 of my "Aim" some years ago, so my skills would be that much higher if I hadn't done that. But chip selling or not, I still "did the time", so-to-speak.

actually it aint.. ive got from 40-43 quite fast and i dont think it will slow down dramaticaly

ofcourse u can waste time as much as u want.. ive been playing around 10 month with my new ava and skilled to 43lvl pistoleer and 25lvl prospector

i dunno how long it takes some ppl to skill to those lvls..

1) You're far less skilled than the "true" unchosen ones.

2) You haven't even been playing that long.

3) You already looted 3 ubers.

So the question remains: Why the f*** are you whining? You haven't even earned the right to cry!

im way over 3k usd on loss i think i have right to cry

and i still wanna see an event that has the less loot wins... rule
but ofcourse some "unchosen ones" would not just shoot any.. i would own everyone in less loot wins event on hispis or longus... those are the mobs that give the most crappy loot ever seen.. for me all the mobs are crappy but those 2 mobs are impossible to break even mobs

and coelecanth.. im almost ur lvl on main hunt weapon.. and i still have alot more mining skills than u.. uve played 5 years.. ive played 10months with my new ava...

some ppl are really working hard.. depositing daily.. ur just chatting in EF

Listen dude, when you're the ONLY one taking a loss, THEN you can cry. WE ALL take losses!

What are your total skills, then? I have a dozen skills over level 30, and almost half a dozen over 40. Unlike you, I don't just hunt with one weapon, I'm skilled with laser, BLP and plasma, rifles & handguns. It's not worthwhile to only compare one's single-best profession, right? (Not to mention I sold 800 Aim some years ago; I may not show those skills in my total but I still did the time.) I may only hunt 2 to 4 months per year before I get pissed off and do other things for extended periods, but I probably play a helluva lot "harder" than you do, when I'm logged in.

And speaking of "playing hard", why not read my blogs of the past months since Christmas, when I returned from my usual 8-to-10-month layoff for dedicated hunting? Last night during a 2-hour stretch I killed about 1200 to 1300 Feffs and Berys by my estimation, with one...ONE global. Oh, and where was your name in the Merry Mayhem Top 2000 list? That's right, NOWHERE. You didn't even hunt those mobs enough to crack the list!

And how the fuck would YOU know what I do in-game? You equate chatting on EF with time spent playing?! Hmm someone's elevator ain't gettin' to the penthouse much...

Point that hurts, even my name was shown at the Mayham Scorers List, and I didn´t hunt Troxis to win this Event, just for fun as usual

Go Coelacanth go go go
