 I don't know why you have to become aggresive to me. If i didn't have any problem ,simple i wouldn't be here posting it.  I am saying again, i am NOT the only one having quest drop problems in Coal Mines. This problem was after the latest new update. Before the Tales update every single mob dying mass-aoe the same seconds dropped quest items.  

48 minutes the beginning when we entered - https://prnt.sc/u6vskt

1 minute before it kicks us. - https://prnt.sc/u6vta3 

 

You can calculate how much i got in my buffer and how much in my healer in these minutes, while we killed at LEAST thousands of mobs .Both of my 2 chars haven't got the same amount of exalted quest items, while we started killing mobs since the beginning. The drop rate is very random and it works like 5 minutes per person, 2nd person another 5 minutes. Sometimes mobs doesn't give at all only the last minutes before instance kick us. Please  @Juji  can you check Coal mines mobs? 

 

I can second that, we noticed the same. After the update exalted quest item drops in Coal Mines are way lower than they used to be. I have already asked in three different threads whether this was by design or some bug related to the letter event. No official answer so far. Hope you get more lucky @philosophy, there are more people concerned with this issue as well.

You can ask whoever you want about this problem with quest drop rate during aoe killing mobs. Its not only me, my clan and my friends but randoms aswell complaining about not getting quest drops for some amount of time. 

Exactly. Coal is not dropping quest items as it used to drop, eveyone who farms that are noticed it. And I'd still like some official answer whether this is a bug or by design.

Hunting Zones and Raid Bosses

Everything that could be said about the problems for the lower hunting zones has already been mentioned in this thread. But I would still like some official clarification on the Coal Mines situation. Before the update every character in a party would get an item for the exalted quests with almost every kill (drops stopped occasionally but they returned after 1 or 2 minutes). After the update each character in a party gets drops for just a couple of minutes and then it stops altogether for 5-10 minutes. An average run with standard exalted weapons used to award around 3000 items per character; now it's only 500.

Is this by design? Is it a bug? Can we expect to have the drops reverse to previous rates in the near future?
