Say again? What nice reward? (i have at active 2 clicks on 1 tryL bp for UL wep with miserable failures, so rly curious on the matter).

I also presume u can point me at the crafters who made ul korss, ul emik, ul assasin, ul issis, etc.

They still happen now and then:

Its not like every loot back in PE was full of items. The Easter Egg type loots were rare as well then. I tried like hell to loot an Angel set in PE when Angel was dropping fairly frequently and never got a piece so I ended up buying my Angel set piece by piece. As many mobs as I looted back in PE days I only remember a couple loots that were chaulked full of items and only a few of those carried any great markup or were of use to me at the time.

What is funny is one day in the future someone will look back on the above screenies and go man pre CE2 loots are so much better than what we get today. lol

It seems to me that some ppl missunderstand what i say. Yes i do think there is to much oil in the loot. But one thing that should be changed i think is to drop more uber rare crafting items. As i said nobody ever sees a gauss gun. And if we are supposed to be using more crafted stuff nowadays those items needed to craft stuff have to drop. Because who will pay 1000% for a crafted rifle? ok some does but that's ridiculous.

I heared when you fail click a BP for an unlimmited item what is normally (L) you get still 100 or 200 ped residue without global message, If that is not true than im informed wrong.

As well as the first two screenies in the original post. They were a bit out of the ordinary in their time as well. At least they are in IMO.

It's a lot of stuff, but no Angel, Foeripper, Strikehammer even? The point is it was average gear (was a nice loot, no complaints) so I'm just trying to put it into context.

Exactly, AVERAGE gear. I'm sure you know how hard it is to loot average mid-level gear nowadays. I'm not talking about Foerippers or Modfap, but what about Vigi, Nemi, Bear, MKIII, MKIV, AS97...I could go on all day.

There are SO MANY items that really aren't that great, but NEVER drop any more, and as such the markups are horrendous on them. An ML35 is a nice gun, but is it worth 18k? What about a Loudmouth? 15k anyone? LOL!

I'm happy for uber items to be rare, it wouldn't make any sense for them to drop everyday, but why are mid-level items so rare? In the time i've played PE/EU, i've seen more MM's drop than I have Starkhov's...so what do you do?

Even the noob gear that drops is next to useless even to a noob. What is a noob going to do with an EP11 or a FreanD Alpha? The only decent thing they could hope to loot would be low-end armour.

Hardicus hit the nail right on the head. More "good" items should drop in loots than now...WAY more. Over the last 3 nights, I hunted maybe 12 to 15 hours (4 to 5 hours per night is all the spare time I had after work). After all of that time, and about 450 to 530 PED cost per night (ammo + decay), I got a grand total of 2...TWO...globals, worth 52 and 67 PEDs, nothing but oils. How the heck is a person to feel happy about hunting when that happens on a consistent basis? If they were items, maybe I would've broke even or even profited once in a while.

I have some ancient loot window screenshots like the ones in the first post, one of them was only 384 PEDs but was filled with good items.

Sure was alot better in the good old days!

these new days so boring!
