I have 18 toons flagged for t10, I have 3 toons in Full UA, I have been in SR for over a year...
I will not zone pull it because I
A) Shouldn't have to(It's a perk not a required mechanic)
B) I and other people tend to go LD and were told it's a problem our end and nothing to do with EZ.
Every time I try to argue the point it just gets shit on..
Are you rotating zones or just waiting for respawn? Even without ZP, seems like your kill rate is low if those numbers you stated were correct. The 3-4 GSS I got while grinding faction, without ZP, I did in 3-4 days of solid playing (6-8 hours a day). All these are rough estimates because I dont typically track these things closely.
I agree that you shouldn't have to ZP...and you dont...but what you do have to do is consider the fact that it exists and everyone else on the server does use it. So the question becomes, should we tune to the drop rate for a couple people or the majority of the server? This is why your argument that gets shit on.
Honest question here. Have you done everything you can to trouble shoot the LD issue or are you not interested because you just don't want to ZP? I recall many years ago when I was zone pulling PoTime (manually running around the entire zone because the ZP item didnt exist at the time) I would go LD half the time. After optimizing my client (i think it was the filters that ultimately fixed it for me) it was resolved.
This is more than a grind for an item, it's an intentional time sink to stop people progressing to the next tier that we don't even have yet..which makes no sense whatsoever,
It is an intentional time sink.....but not to stop people progressing. It was something to progress with in the absence of a T11. Sooo many people have completed T10 then just quit. GSS gave those people the choice to stick around with something to work toward or quit, which they were going to do anyway. It was intentionally made to be a long time sink because it was clear that T11 was a far ways our (and likely even a real possibility that it would never come out).
I understand the introduction of them 5 years ago or whenever it was but the fact that we still don't have new content should change that drop rate so people aren't still trying to get the gss to get to 10.5 five years from now.
I dont follow the logic here. We are pretty much in the same position we were in when GSS were introduced. There still is no T11. Why would it then make sense to speed up an optional grind? UA was always intended to be optional, so I would assume anything viewed as being main/required content that comes out of 10.5 or 10.67 will be obtainable in T11. I am sure there will be one or two trophies or toys that you can only get from 10.5 and 10.67 but that will be up to each individual player to choose if they want to embark on the GSS journey to get them or not.
