I haven't got a drop yet. Been farming and have leveled up several times. At this point I might as well just call heroic an EXP Farm. Not that I need it since I'm past lvl 100. I'm 187 now.

Than why would you complain about Heroic if you don't have any problems with it? (No offense but this thread is wasted especially since the whole point is about your complaint, despite there being no problems with it other than Drop Rates but seeing you don't care so much).
I think the "not that I need it" was in relation to the farmed EXP.
In his case that's correct, though his mentioned "level 100" is incorrect, since IIRC level 170 is when you unlock your last armory slot, after which EXP doesn't matter anymore other than for Heroic Mode revives on levelup...
I just fused a level 50 Rivenborn. Will I be able to craft the plus with only 8 fragments?
Heroic mode was and is a great addition to the game, however there is an overall consensus that as is it is not enjoyable. Furthermore when the heroic mode started it was new and most powerful armor of its category! (hard work paid off). offering an old epic to give people the opportunity of an epic plus after just 8 crystals is ok, but not perfect. you have to make this event enjoyable for the most or very rewarding for the challenge and effort/gems put into it. I see three primary solutions
1) increase drop rate. people we see the progression and enjoy it more. the reward will reflect the effort.
2) increase the time frame. people will be less stressed and enjoy it more. the reward will refect the effort.
3) make new epic that would be the most powerful epics but still weaker than the Dragonforge (or create weak dragonforge armor). the time and energy required would reflect the prize.
an alternate solution is let the heroic mode go on for a month but make rewards dependent on the time you start crafting
Craft within 1-7 days get XX reward and XX+
Craft within 8-14 days get YY reward and YY+
Craft within 15-28 days get ZZ reward and ZZ+
Just my 2 cents

On the drop rate, mine has been worse this time. I did 14 straight runs on flaming wildwood without a drop. took me 28 total tries to clear it.
Mine too. I gave myself 2 days for trying, and drop rate is between 1:4 - 1:5. Pointless and a waste of time.
Since way back during the devilplate days I stopped monitoring drop rates. I used to track them and look at the numbers from event to event. It's just too depressing. Some levels including the dark prince stage can take up to 30+ runs to get all the fragments. Borderline sadistic if you ask me. Far removed from fun if you don't have Shaolin strong armor.
I greatly sympathize with those who have long since become frustrated with Heroic Mode. Too bad really....... this could have been good times for everyone.
Thank you everyone for your feedback.
We are planning to introduce improvements for the next event.
One of them is extending the length of the event.

Nice. Though I think people would prefer higher and/or more consistent drop rates over more time actually. Reading here, some people seem to quit a Heroic event after 1-2 days because of getting depressed from terrible drop rates and in those cases obviously more time won't help, since they quit that Heroic event to save themselves from more days of depressing drops...
