[BUG] Collectible Drop Rate Too High After 1.5.8

Pretty much the title. Some (if not many) receiving really high collectible drop rates. They were too rare before, but I think the pendulum might be too far in the other direction now.

Anecdotal evidence:

    There's a problem with being able to actually get these now?

    Some folks complain when it's too hard .. others complain when it's too easy .. /shakeshead

    Or do you have a position to defend?

    Hey there @Dominoid,

    We'll be happy to take a look into this. Do you happen to remember the trophy/trophies that you received, and if not, the enemy types you received them from?

    What's to defend? If the drop rate for "collectibles" is what we have been experiencing in that thread, then it's unacceptable. Period.

    Seriously? The RNG for me sucks donkey ass with a straw. My drop rates surely haven't increased and I loot and kill everything like crazy. Every. Thing.

    I couldn't agree with this more. Increased drop rates? Maybe it's just an RNG hot streak because collectibles HAVE NOT been dropping more for me.

    What the hell do you have to smoke to think/believe/surmise something drops too much in an MMO?

    If it means we might actually be able to complete those achievements, let it stand.

    I only wish they were sellable that's all. ;-)
