Template talk:Drop Rate Table

Distinguishing Differences

 * Should this perhaps have a Hard Mode and Normal Mode column for each Drop Rate? And I haven't played Hero Mode yet, but for monsters in Hero Mode, should there also be another change made? Just a thought, not sure if these tables are being widely used, yet. Kallnohae 09:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This entire template seems completely pointless considering the fact that people have to edit in each time something is looted. It would make sense if there was some sort of mod or addon that kept track of every drop for you and then you could upload that file, but it's completely useless the way it is. Listing the drops in the monster table is more than enough until there's a better way to track drops Mairu 10:45, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This table relies entirely on the honesty and cooperation of the players, which would accumulate days of research PER monster to obtain even semi-viable information. It all looks like a good idea, but as you said, it would be more feasible with a passive data collection add-on. I'm new to the wiki, and the game, and thus hesitant to make any radical changes, but would it be advisable for me to remove this table from any monster pages it's been added to, and perhaps list the collected data on the talk page so that the original contributor doesn't feel totally shafted, for lack of a better word?

 * Good idea. If in the future they allow for addons, extensions, third party mods that would let us track the drops in a much better way, this table could prove to be useful. But the way it is, it's just a waste of space on the monster pages. Mairu 20:55, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * All pages that used the table via transclusion have been cleaned up, now. I put the table for Giant Polar Bear on its' talk page, as there were over 100 drops collected, but any of these tables can of course be found in the revision history, if what I did was a faux-pas.
