really? being nice is too much?
Extra cores. Cool. Added Erg Crystals to loot tables for raid bosses. Un-cool.
Its bad enough that we get so little compared to other regions. You toss us a bone, and it turns out to be worthless. I thought with new management, I could expect to see changes for the better. Looks like I was wrong.

I could be wrong here, but aren't the erg crystals just the "better luck next time" version of the event drop (Halloween Spirit)? I know that's how they handled it in the past, and in the past that was an additional core that didn't count towards the regular drops.
This is what we call withdrawal. We must purge the addiction that is seizing the community. Help these people find a cleaner path to peace and comfort!
If you're reading this now and are one of the many afflicted by this sickness, I want you to know. You are loved! You are somebody! Do not give up hope! Our thoughts are with you! Please find the courage to reach out and ask for help!
Is there any reason to run s3 raid except for the title? Nope, you can get everything S3 has to offer (except Eochaid Ess) by running S1 for seals and S2 for scroll. Oh wait, scroll are going to be in the shop for a whole month. Scratch that S2, now everyone will flock to S1. Soloing Rocheste raid all day long is effective, but I don't think it's fun.
And then, you will see ppl losing their motivation because "nothing to do, being geared to the teeth" and end up quitting - especially with the rate of 3 months for a content update we are enduring.
And the scroll event - should be perm. There's no reason for the scroll prices we see on a regular basis, other than players trying to gouge other players so they can feel good about their epeni(EX: "What? no +15? Get off my boat filthy peasant!!")Which makes no sense, because you get these people on boats bragging about how much gold they have, or bought, or are buying, or are going to buy, and see their maxxed-out gear, only to see them contribute to the landscape. The sad truth is that Gear Progression does not equal player skill.
But these are getting off-topic. The OP's post is about the extra core event, which in my mind should equate to a better chance to get rare mats or scrolls. But it doesn't. Because they wrecked the loot tables RNG by adding erg crystals as a loot drop for raid bosses.
PS: Raids are dropping erg crystals AND Halloween Spirits. That's extra sad-apparently some players have become so disenfranchised from the abuse that they don't even bother to look at their drops anymore. I think my soul just got cancer.
And apparently we must play different games, because I never seen anyone doing/saying anything you mentioned in your 2nd paragraph. And what's player's skill have to do here?
Now, if you have anything to say that IS in reference to the topic, you may speak. But if you're just here to be an ass, shush.
PS: I think its more than the "EXTRA" core, because i have certainly gotten more than one in a single raid, or a Halloween spirit AND an erg crystal.
