No Loot from Garmoth?

[Karna5]

I think there's a bug at world bosses this week. I just fought Garmoth (274 AP/276 AW so did decent damage) and I got no loot at the end.

Here's a screen shot if proof is needed:

I'm calling this a bug because yesterday at Kzarka someone complained in general chat that he got no loot from that fight.

I've done hundreds of world bosses over the years, and this is a new problem.

No bug. Accept the quest from the NPC nearby. You can take the quest 3 times per week.

What are you saying? Is this not a world boss Garmoth but something different?

No, we're talking about Garmoth. Garmoth spawns 14 times per week now but you can only get loot when you accept the quest. You basically have a 3 times loot limit per week but more chances to fight Garmoth. It was added last patch.

They should have announced this instead of sending the in-game notifications that Garmoth is appearing and appeared. They changed the mechanics without notice, and that's not really okay.

There was a big announcement in the patch notes and people talked about it online. But yeah, should've been some form of ingame popup at least for the first time.

weird change. i only realized it was changed because my guild CTG for garmoth happened in a spot that was not usual for it and i immediately noticed a nearby NPC offering a quest

i feel like if they want to limit farming garmoth while making it spawn more often per week, it should be a quest you can grab from the spirit dude.

That's why they post patch notes you should read them sometime

I feel like it's a good change but they should def. up the quest limit to 4 or 5.

Pointless change. In the week Garmoth was 3 times and now there are 3 quests. 3=3. Nothing has changed.
Currently in Europe Garmoth spawn at 14 (work time) and 23:15 (sleep time). Why sleep time someone will ask? If you start work at 6 and you have to get up at 4 to take care of yourself and get to work, you go to sleep at 22 , max at 22:30.
Conclusion: it's worse than it was because before this change Garmoth spawns at 19 and 22:15.
Also Garmoth DOESN'T HAVE dmg drop mechanics (only kzarka, karanda, kutum and nouver have them), so it doesn't matter if you hit once or 50 times, you still have the same chance for a heart, which is 0%.
Long time ago under Garmoth I had a lvl 56 alt char without gear (main quest line gear) and got 2 hearts and 1 pet.
Also (no 2) even the dmg mechanic DOESN'T INCREAS the rare drop chance. Even one hit Kzarka, for example, can give you a box. Dmg drop only increases the amount of gold bars and those worthless junk crystals.
Actually since the introduction of these stupid garmoth heart quests line (34 months ago) i have been involved in killing over 400 garmoth and .... and not getting a single heart/pet.
Conclusion is simple: since the addition of this series of quests for Garmoth heart, PA has quietly lowered the chances of a heart from loot.
There is no other logical explanation.
Ok, there's a logical explanation: chance to drop a heart is just ridiculously low. While the chance to drop a world boss box is about 1%, chance to drop a heart is about 0.02%.
And that's why Garmoth and Vell should have an aura system, 100 auras - 1 heart.
