I still feel like there much more Mirrors out there than what you would expect from these drop rates. I mean HvR has 2, and based on all the mirror service crafters threads, there seems to be quite a bit mirrors being used.

Regarding drop rates, they suck, especially the rarity of eternals.

bots. <censored>.

1 mirror drops in 5000 hours.

run 50 bots for 100 hours = 1 mirror.

sell mirror.

I expect the majority of mirrors out there entered the game through <censored>.

mirrors are incredibly broken. can't wait until they get rid of them.

as for drop rates , wtf ?! why are fuses so rare ? talk about something that's needed even by casual players.

They just gotta make an item a mirror has been used on non-modifiable. That would prevent people from crafting 1 OP item and mirroring it with botted mirrors over and over.

I think none would complain if they just removed the mirrors from the game. It was a novel idea when I first heard about it and I thought it was cool, but now older and wiser, I see it only as a negative thing in the game. It basically begs for RMT, craft one uber item and then sell it countless time, for 200 bucks a pop.

The dataminers are giving us info GGG should have given us themselves a long time ago. Hiding accomplishes nothing of worth and is actually against the path of theorycrafting.

Just think objectively.

What happens when mirrors get removed and from now on the only people who get to have the items are the people with the mirrored copies and no-one else from that point onwards?

Please don't tell me anyone thinks making mirrored items legacy is a good idea.

One thing this shows (if the data is correct) is that demand stands in no relation to supply.

Which simply makes no sense in a closed economy like this. What exactly is the point in artificially restricting access to crafting materials that people commonly tend to use?

Imo drop rates should reflect the demand to some extent, if for example chaos orbs are used more often than alchemy orbs by a factor of 10 (on average) then it follows that chaos orbs should drop somewhere around 10 times more often than alchemy orbs. (ignoring recipes and so on, for the sake of simplicity)

Why not have drop rates directly based on usage as opposed to some arbitrary drop rate that doesn't reflect... anything?

Or let's go for a more clear-cut example. Why do eternal orbs have such a low drop rate compared to exalted orbs? I don't believe that these drop rates are even remotely based on demand, so what exactly are they based on?

It just seems arbitrary.
