They nerfed high end gear giving better TT returns, makes sense theyâd add something like this to compensate, a way to increase your TT return without massive $ investment barrier (imp mk2 etc) and where you dont start with an almost insummountable disadvantage on grandfathered players is a good addition imo. Just giving everyone same TT return no matter level/gear and changing loot composition is not sustainable plan longterm it just makes hunting pointless. Now theres ways to increase composition and TT return excited to try it out anyway, not sure if 2days before an event is the BEST time to trial such a change but at least it is at a time where the devs are actually in the office.
Could this be the incentive to skill/hunt that everyone was waiting for? 
Well, no time to btch. Time to skill up if thats the case. MA wants ppl to go and hunt as simply as that âŚ
They want more grinders as this Loot 2.0 was supposted to âhelpâ those grinders.
Gamblers? No luck to them i guess.
I only wonder how this is compared to mining and crafting. I did see a huge difference in mining lately thu.
Feels like we are having some Communist loot where all are equal and you have a barly profiting run, working your ass off. All average loot, no loss and no profit. Hmm if thats the case for mining, hunting and crafting, then it looks bad (to me) :scratch2::scratch2::scratch2:

i guess that is because nothing affects loot composition so far. despite some people claiming they might get better loot with better efficiency i havent seen ANY test that shows empirical evidence. all my tests show that loot composition is always the same, no matter the dpp or efficiency, as long as you are under the âonly shrapnelâ border.
so why would they suddenly start to implement something like this?
as far as MA doesnt show proof of how their shit is supposed to work we can only do our own tests and make assumptions based on these tests.
didnt MA state they wanted to lower the cost to play? so why would every change they make have the opposite effect? i mean if they want to encourage mindless grinding because otherwise your loot sucks it means the cost to play gets exponentially higher
Letâs all just go play the game and figure this out, as intended. Donât cry until youâve done some field research!
Is anyone else who is doing their Daily Token Mining Mission since the update not having their finds counted by the mission counter?
bonus are bugged
to a) get level 100+ to shut up and to b) get people to spending tons of ped on scanners (if scanning actually contributes to the professions, nobody told me yet)
then again more loot tt might push you over the item minimum threshold more often 
that would only work if it would be increased from what we had before. isnt it more likely they keep their average long term tt return (as its viable for MA to sustain) and lower it without the required prof standing?
Are you talking about the Bonus Daily Mining Mission or the Bonus Hunting Missions? My Daily Token Hunting Missions seem to be working. But the Daily Token Mining Mission doesnât seem to be working - at least the HUD counter for it. It just says â0/417â excavated for my Frigulite Daily Token Mission even though I have excavated over a quarter of what I need.
Iâll finish the mission (excavate 50 ped worth) and report backâŚ
I like this VU
Itâs a new goal to set and get better at it !
finally some content that that is interesting , instead of useless hypernew buildings somewhere
Ok, so that means us n00bs will pay for ubers. Can you mention how much % of TT return this impacts compared to before the magic 98%?
We now got âloot taxâ for paying for the ubers gameplay if youâre not skilled enough. :scratch2:
I would like to know as well if this is true, it would be most unfair.
However considering it a loot tax, is pure speculation as of yet.
It is not because a certain person gets 0.01% more loot at his level, that someone else will get 0.01% less loot.
(unless shared mobs maybe, but that was already the case based on dps)
If we all start at zero, how is this stealing from lower to higher?
This rewards those who are actively looting. with proportionately more going to lower level players.
5-6 points on occy provider, 1-2 on a puny mob. rate of kills on puny > than occy provider. Small mobs win. Which means people hunting small mobs will be more efficient much faster than those hunting higher mobs at their level. Ubers actually lose out on gear use if they want to keep same rate, since uber gear is often overkill for small mobs.
My gut says the overall return is still going to be the same percent. 96? 97? 98? Who knows. That is still capped but now the return is reduced to make room for this skill to bring players to that cap.
You might want to get a codpiece just in case there exceptions. :silly2:
Game has always been gamblers/low levels/inefficient players paying for ubers. Only now you arent 3years and $20000 away from catching them, even top players are not that far ahead of you in terms of looter profession and the overall amount it affects loot is unlikely to be that large (as all their recent changes have been closing the gap not widnening it) again there should be advantages and incentives for being high level/playing a lot/investing otherwise game dies, however unfair it might feel as a low level f2p player. Its better now than it was before only now they are telling you how it works whereas before it was known but not really talked about.
Havenât been mining yet but⌠lag is back with a vengeance. If this rubberbanding continues, wonât be mining today at all.
