Mat drops are definitely up as posted in a previous thread... Hopefully it stops today. VERY annoying...Chests maybe, dragon drops you gotta be kidding me..
It clearly shows that you don't understand how dragon drops works.
The chance you have a dragon weapon is about 10%. NOTHING affects this. I repeat NOTHING affects this.
If you get material out of a dragon, it's simply filler. If they were to remove material you would have about 90% chance of receiving absolutely nothing for killing a dragon. Materials are there to fill that part of the 90%, it's only a filler. Unless you'd prefer a level 2 Army Dirk instead?
Thus, you have 10% to get a dragon weapon and for the remaining 90%, it's better to get material than nothing.
