Why do I think it’s important? Mainly due to the infrequent drop rate in the normal mode. So after the daily quest for normal I tend to focus on hard mode that has a better drop rate although at a higher cost.
Hey, I made that post I completely agree. I think it’s lazy that it hasn’t already been added.
I believe the answer given by a dev once was something along the lines of “we don’t want hard mode to be the focus for farming gear”. Lame. How about let the players decide for themselves instead of thinking you know better than the players and imposing a certain play style. Silly that such an easy improvement has been dismissed like it was.
For what it’s worth though, I believe a dev has confirmed in the past that there isn’t a difference in drop rates between normal and hard missions. Though it certainly seems like there is.
I’m not disagreeing that it feels that way. Just saying that if memory serves me correctly, then devs have explicitly stated that the drop rate is the same.
