Well I've played with plenty of 190+ wizzes and I can tell you that none of them are doing balor, big bird, bdp, or any other bosses without bdp/rdd pets. It's that simple. They all say the same things, drops are a joke. And they are all 190+ from multiple guilds.
As for drops, people aren't going to invest their life into this game bud. Most people that play this are married with kids, and when they come to the realization that the grind isn't worth it anymore they move on. That's why this servers population has tanked. Like I said, we went from two guilds of 53 people at Easter to one guild of 17.
Our guilds have helped so many people get from noob to 160+ I've lost count. Some have left to other guilds, but the vast majority of them have quit near the same damn level. Of those we've helped, I only see 3 online ever. Out of 4 or 5 dozen people our guilds have helped level and gear.
That's bad retention rate bud.
Either way we're done doing it. We've condensed our active players into one guild and we just hunt every day together. Most of us got tired of helping low levels and having them scalped or leave the game.
