Horrible Droprates in Red Fens and Lords of Dust.

[fyrst.grok]

During the last 4+ months a few friends and myself have tried in vain to pull the shards for the epic claw set. The set is no longer vastly better in slot, than anything else and we all know how easy it is to get the set in Evening Star which is very close to it's equal in strength.

Same goes for the Lord of dust chain where we have ransacked the chests so many times that it is starting to get painfull in the quest of the flameward shard.
We have tried in groups, solo, hard, normal.. Even elite, yet we still cannot pull a shard of bracers of the claw or .. Well.. Any shard really in dust chain.

I see no reason that the droprates are so abysmal, as most eveningstar equipment is so far superior to the old epics.
If you however insist on the horrid droprates of the shards and seal for that matter, I would humbly ask you to implement a trade in such as the commendations.

3 shards or seals for the one you want.
Simple and it would make for a much more pleasant game experience.

As far as I know, u13 shards drop normally ( 5 % ? ), seals are bugged and drop only on epic normal.
Solo or in group, Fens shard drop rate seems unchanged too, I don't think it's guaranteed to get one ( maybe on eElite ) but still get a shard from hard Into the Deep about 75% of time.

I have tried to bring attention to the Stormreach epic bits (shards, seals, scrolls) to our Turbine leaders. Through #AskTheMimic, Twitter, etc. Not sure if they heard me, or not. But, the Spinner chain has been exceptionally stingy with bits.

Never heard anything from these efforts.

We got 1 between 6 people after ransacking it at least 4 times, so doubt it.

Fens shards DO drop more often, but not close to 75% in my experience and never the right one - claw bracers seems especially hard to pull - which is why I suggest the trade ins as this set is no longer so 'epic'.

But this goes for every eberron epic I guess.. Don't see that many old items being worth the grind anymore :/
