Gorgon Schematics

Gorgon schematics are way too rare. According to the devs the drop rate is 1 in 200 to get any schematic. Keep in mind it’s a week long cool down which means it would take 200 weeks of completing Gorgon every week or roughly 4 years. For one schematic! I don’t remember exactly how many weapons there are but I think it’s 15? Meaning that’s between the weapon, armor and jewelry schematics there should be 33 schematics. Which means that with no duplicates it would take roughly 130 years of doing Gorgon to get all the schematics. What’s even worse? Right now only the chest and leg schematics can drop at all and that means the actual chance of any single person getting the drop is actually about 1 in 1200.

Now you could argue that people aren’t meant to get all of the schematics and that they are intended as a way for crafters to specialize but what’s actually happened (at least on my server) is that the 8 schematics that have dropped on my server since launch have ended up in the hands of 5 people. Eventually there will be enough out there to create some actual competition but they are rare enough that the current owners have enjoyed a monopoly on the market for weeks and likely will continue to do so for quite some time. One of those people I know for a fact has made literally millions off of it. The worst part though is any crafter that doesn’t get their hands on a schematic will basically become obsolete once the other schematics are released since they are the only way to even somewhat compete with the self made gorgonite gear.

Overall I’d really like to see the drop rate on the schematics increased to a more reasonable level so that they can actually become at least somewhat attainable to the average player.

Edit: my server got 3 schematic drops this reset which seems consistent with the 1 in 200 drop rate.
