There is no channel based anything currently. Also, no DPK.
But I get what you mean with the impression of time wasted because you increased the kill count without having a drop.
But it is a false impression. That is why I find it frustrating. You want to stay until a drop occurs because you know a drop will occur. In pure rng you can farm for hours without being sure anything will ever drop. How is it better to never have any assured drop? Only a low %. Now we have a low % + an assured drop if everyone ahve bad RNG.
Your post is the exact representation of the current knowledge of the player base over the drop system.
And I don’t blame you. IMC’s communication skills are not exactly perfect, or good. This is a major problem. There have been a lot of changes and it’s hard to track what changes.
