Mining and Hunting loot

[ForumLamer]

Since in the EULA it says no gambling allowed. Has anyone ever testing to see if you actually get more loot in mining if you have higher skills in better equipment? So far as hunting goes, some say higher maturity mobs have a better chance of drops, but it seems less people hunt those for some type mobs (ex. drone generator 1's). I think the number of mobs killed by players is directly linked to the loot pool for that mob.

I see how skills can help you kill a mob by using less rounds and smart buying for weapons you have the skill to use. What other skills plays a factor in you knowing how good this mob will loot, I do check entropia tracker to see how it is going for the day. I wish there was a skill you could use that could give you some type of bar display showing this mobs chances of a good loot.

Who thinks that the system knows who is shooting the animal, checks depositing status, puts that number in with some random number to find out if you get a good loot or not. Anyhow I just wanted to start some discussion on this matter.

So 44 views and no one has any thoughts?

I thinks its because so many posts have been started about the same subject people tend to ignore them now.

There is no knowing how well a mob will loot, skill should not come into the calculation regarding how much loot you get but as you said only how easy it is for you to kill it.

If predicting how well a mob would loot was easy MA would have gone out of business long ago. Almost all of my globals have been accidents, my last was from an argo I wasn't even considering killing except it decided to attack me when I was trying to join a soc hunt.

Personally I follow the reasoning that all loot is completely random and the skill factor MA always give to say it isn't gambling is how well we can use the equipment to actually kill it.

Yes I guess that is good thinking. If you don't have the right equipment and skills, armor etc. then your chances of killing a mob with any loot at all goes down. I enjoy game, I just wanted to start some conversation. I also wish MA would keep us updated though on fixes and upcoming patches.
