Nerfed Champ Bags/Boxes ?

#1 - Oct. 31, 2013, 2:12 p.m.

I’ve been champ farming off and on for about a month and a half now trying to save up some money, before today when I would open my boxes/bags up I would get between 8 to 4 silver per box/bag. Today I started opening up a stack that I have been saving and I noticed I’m getting a lot less…sometimes 7 silver to nothing at all. Seems the more boxes I open up in a row the less money I’m getting…What is going on ANET?, money is hard enough to make in this game as it is, why did you have to nerf the champ loot?

Are you trying to drive people away from playing your game?, because I really don’t feel like playing anymore.

Hello all, I looked into this because we intended to have a release note for the changes to the champion loot.
We did modify the gold and bloodstone dust coming from champion bags, and a release note will be added shortly.
What I can tell you is that we made a mistake, this one fell through the cracks and I’m truly sorry. I’ve promised before that we won’t make stealthy economic changes without notes and I mean to stick to that promise.
Thank you all for pointing out the error, we will be more vigilant in the future.
Good luck in your adventures.

Any changes to the economic systems of any kind will be in the patch notes. This was an error, there are no economic changes that are intentionally kept from patch notes.

Changes to the game’s economic systems are often made for various and complex reasons. It’s not so simple as to say “we did A due to B”. What you’re asking for would be very hard to do, though we do encourage discussion over on the BLTC forum area.
