This suggests you plan on selling your amp the the TT when you are done with it. And thats a pretty bad idea , ill pay tt+10.

but however, i second Doer's point of view

funny that i am melee and don't use amps even really #D

Get the amps, try for some months and if you can't see difference, then I
guess it's just unluck.

I guess my years of testing are enough for me. As I said earlier, I'm not
gonna try to get more people using E-amps, it's their loss, not mine.
I havn't just tried them out for some few runs. I have used them on and off
for years. Last months has been eamps-only. I do see a difference,
and none has to belive in it. But don't say I'm wrong, since you havn't
done same tests for months. My prio1 has always been skillprogress, not eco.

A myth for some, reality for others.

What customer would you give bonus to, the one that are cheap and
try to use service as cheap as possible, or the one that spends some extra?
Remember what a staffmember said loooong time ago: "Who spends more, gets more"

A series amps will make almost all guns more eco, E series amps will make almost all guns less eco. Simple as that.

[Doer]

Considering the likely audience of this thread, i must say that "better extractors" aren't going to be useful for the noob who just hunted snables for a day and has 100 PEDs less tt because of using an E-amp. As much as i benefit from everyone who amps with E-amps, i really can't help but say that for a beginner hunting beginner mobs, the only reason to consider using an E-amp (besides the lowest model, which is actually eco) is that they have unlimited PEDs and limited time. Even in that case, i'd just tell them to buy a MM and put an A204 on it and go hogg wild.

If nothing else, i'm predictable.

Precisely. The assumption that a-series amps save money is as much a myth as the e-series give more loot. Unless you support double standards

so is it the lower eco that triggers the "better quality loots" or the higher decay? if the latter, it follows that BLP users would get better quality loot. if the former it would suggest the most uneconomical/high dmg setup would provide best overall gains due to better quality loots. it would also imply using non-SIB or unmaxed SIB would return better quality loot. Economy becomes meaningless, the unskilled hunter with Vat100me + Angst would get better loot than the 8HA ImpMKII hunter.

It needs to be tested really to be sure (i wouldnt dismiss it out of hand), but it certainly doesnt make any sence.

Well the math is there. The burden of proof is on the opinion with absolutely no rational or logical basis, i'd say.

I personally have no vested interest in proving it to anyone; let he who has ears to hear, hear.

thats some wierd logic you got there. 4.6 is greater dmg/pec than 3.8. that is a fact, not an assumption.

yeah as every1 is telling a amps are not getting looted anymore so they cost alot and E amps are crafted very often but still a amps are very much more eco
