I'm not a big ToT bag opener, but I always open a few stacks every year just for fun. In the past I'd usually open 5 or so stacks and get mostly garbage, but occasionally get something mildly interesting like a weapon or mini. This year I opened about 12 stacks that I had saved in my inventory from last year. I've been selling off bags gradually throughout the year and have been losing my interest so I thought I'd just open what I have. As I expected, I got mostly garbage, but only 5 items (3 dog minis, 1 charged quartz, and a cat mini) were from the "rare" section of the drop table. No T6 mats, no recipes, or anything else. I wasn't expecting to get rich or get any sort of infusion, but based upon my previous years, I was expecting more items from the rare drop table that that. I know it's RNG, but I wonder if the drop rates are down from previous years. So, I asked in guild and for the past few days my other guildies have had about the same experience, although one did get the destroyer infusion. I noticed a few posts on reddit also kind of confirming lask luster drop rates. So I'm curious if the community has noticed it. I haven't seen anything mentioned officially, so I'm just kind of curious know at this point. I know this how RNG works, and I know these discussions always get brought up for events like this because if just "feels" like things have changed because of my bad luck. Puts on tinfoil hat ... But what if this is their new game direction. Maybe they feel with a dwindling population they'll get us to grind more because those drops are rarer and harder to find. I kind of feel this is supported because of their trend of achievements among other things. For example, Grothmar requires something like 54 achievements for an emote. The emote is cool and all, but usually we get the reward for half of those achievements. Of course though, if I really wanted that emote, I'd be willing to grind out all those achievements, and maybe that's what they were going for. Reducing drop rates of any sought after item like ToT bags could have the same affect too, so maybe that's their plan going forward?
