Lowering the droprate makes sense to restore the economy a bit. With this then, I assume the drop will be set back to 1/64 for Whitill once the economy has actually settled, with or without random HH once in a while. This makes sense unless HH comes back on regularly. Unless Larva's goal is to make RR difficult to Obtain.
I do believe that HH should be sporadic in the least. It does give us some little glimmer of hope everytime we log in. It's like the lottery. You know you probably won't win, but it doesn't stop alot of people from trying.
Just my 2 cents though. I don't really care which way this goes. I just like playing the game.
We get rep for that!? XD
