X2 loot in Maw of Lorkhaj is pointless

Who cares about double defiled whiskers. I mean it's pointless doubling it.. at least x2 boss loot. We had x2 vMA loot so why not lorkhaj?

Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Have you cleared it this week? Have you read the release from Zos?

    It's not double Dro Mathra style material. It's double drop of the Dro Mathra style. Instead of one piece of set bonus gear it's 2. Double drops on all three bosses and the two guantlet chests. Not f sure about the regular chests in there.

    Helps to check things out first.

    1. They didn't say "styled item", they said "style item".
    2. If it really was double loot, wouldn't you think they'd find a better, less roundabout way of saying it?
    3. I did a run yesterday. Nobody got double loot from any of the bosses.

    I was about to make a post, "is ZOS actually trolling us?"

    @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Sometimes you guys make it tough to be a fanboy. This is you answer for an anniversary event? The Anniversary of your toughest and IMO best trial to date? A trial that most groups literally spent months to complete on vet, and a handful spent months to complete again on HM?!?

    Are you aware that your end game raid groups are still grinding for weapons out of this place, groups that have cleared this place multiple times a week for 9+ months? Are you aware that guilds like Hodor have resorted to farming normal mode because its seems the only way to get BIS weapons? ARE YOU ACTUALLY TROLLING US?

    This is frankly insulting. The running joke in our raid last night was that these whiskers are like cigarettes in prison. Problem is that its not that funny because unlike cigarettes in prison, they are basically worthless and anybody serious about this trial has hundreds if not thousands of these things. Why not make double Ta Drop from enchanting nodes, our quadruple Alkahest for a week?

    Go home ZOS, you are drunk...

    VeT. Bow of something and an Alkosh 2H precise. Most of the weapons are useless due to wrong set bonus or bad trait.

    Didn't receive coffee so second weapon was not from that.

    I got 2 items out of the chest after the second gauntlet, but that happens sometimes anyways. That's it I believe. We are going to run vet again tonight. Will report back. Double weapons would at least be something. Hopefully that was their intention.

    You know what would be better? How about no Alkosh staffs or moondancer bows for a week or maybe forever...

    double drop is only pertaining to the Whiskers. we ran it 5 times on normal and only got the normal rated drops. i even spec'd into treasure hunter and can verify that it is only the whiskers. no double motifs, no double armors.....

    just whiskers.....

    At this point, though, I don't think they even care. They had the anniversary event on the PTS, to solicit our feedback. And we gave it. Back during the PTS cycle, a number of people said in the official feedback thread said that increased whiskers was ridiculous.

    We got not response.

    I held onto the slim hope that, despite the lack of any response from ZOS, that they saw the feedback and were going to act on it.

    They did not.

    Why bother with putting this on the PTS to solicit feedback when you blatantly ignore it--you can't even be bothered to say, "we saw it, but we don't think we'll pursue that option".

    2Xcrafting mats from a trial!?! Wth kind of event is that?

    Am I missing something? Like are they used to make something really good like extra storage space or something?

    You guys keep letting me down with this dumb stuff. Like the X2 Maelstrom drops. Very few people I know can beat maelstrom. The few that can we're mad from crappy drops.

    Housing that could have been awesome! It's just more cosmetic fluff with very little utility.

    Crown Crates.....yeah.....scratch tickets for some cool stuff....also has horrendous drop rates.

    ...i liked the 2x maelstrom drops.

    2x whiskers...not so much

    I guess the people that were mad at their drops during 2x maelstrom drops would probably feel the same about 2x mol drops unless they landed sharpened moondancer

    This is literally useless. I'd be cool with it if they restricted the double loot to veteran mode to give it some challenge, but whiskers only...

    The time spent by the dev that coded the "x2" line that doubled the whiskers could have been better spent hunting obnoxious houseflies in the breakroom or perhaps trimming their ear hair. It really is just such a minor "bonus" you wonder why they would even bother. ZOS, this is why your players feel you're out of touch with your own game. Whiskers are currently worth about 250g on PC/NA. You are aware of that, right? The double nirnroot nodes in Hew's Bane are about twice as valuable as this "bonus" and even regular nodes out in the middle of anywhere will generally be worth more in about 24 seconds of farming. This isn't a bonus. It's like having a great meal and leaving a $0.04 tip instead of $0.02. It's not going to be a positive experience for any player and you should have been fully aware of that without any feedback, which you did get and ignored anyway.

    If I had a nickle for very Sharp Alkosh staff I have decond, well I would have a sock full of nickles. Ironically, that would probably make a better end game weapon.
