Hi, first post here, love the game etc
I started energy farming items around 1.5weeks ago, the obvious well known farm is the M4 A1's. The only thing I didn't like about it was the exp gainas i'm level 83 and trying to keep exp gain to a minimum. When I started the drop rate seemed good, I saw a guy with nearly 200 of the gun. I wanted to get opinions (I read the thread lower down too) on whether this is true? At first I was getting ~5 every 2K energy spent, now i'm lucky to get 1-2 for the same amount of energy. The exp gain for the (now?) low drop rate just is not worth it.
I saw another guy with 232 D Taxi's, as I only have 297 Vehicles, I thought this could be a good farm, I didn't know what the drop rate is or was, but I only got 1 in 2600 energy. The exp gain per energy spent is only roughly 2/3's of the M4 A1's but the drop rate seems terrible.
If the drop rates have been lowerd, is that not unfair on the players who have not had the oppurtunity to farm these items and other NPC loot compared to the players who managed to build up a herfty supply of these items?
Farming NPc loot is also a fun part of the game, even if these farming locations are wide spread knowledge for the players who are willing to do a few google searches or check the forums, why lower the drop rates?
I read that farming in peak times might affect it, is this true?
