I don't use macros to farm exotic class items. I spend hours opening chests legit. I also zone in by myself and don't slow down other people's overthrow experience. Macro farmers will still macro farm even with a .0001% chance because it consumes zero of their time. But i will no longer farm chests just like i no longer run dual destiny because it's no longer worth my time. Only difference this drop % nerf will make is that myself (and others) will no longer farm legit with worse rates. Marcos will be the only chest farmers after this change.
Why does the solution to macro farming actively hurt legit players while not bothering macro players at all? Are you seriously running with this as a solution to the problem? This seems like a horrible inconsiderate solution to a problem they created by making something highly in demand with almost no good way to get. If they just buffed drop rates on ALL chests the problem will fix itself. Ppl wont run macros if they think it is worth their time to farm again. The obvious solution of making duplicate protection won't happen but punishing legit farmers will? How?!
