Have other people experienced this-- it seems to me that whatever the quest of the day is, when it is a particular mode or anomaly or like today when it is dependant on drop rate of banisher in order to banish the special event Prickly Why-ner, whatever is needed appears much less often than it usually would. It's as though there is an algorithm in the game program that causes whatever is needed to occur with much less frequency when it is part of a guardian quest. Is that just crazy or has this happened to others too?

Specifically, the drop rate of banishing items for the special event creature is usually between 50-60%. Today I am only getting a banishing item every four or five times exploring the location, that is only 20-25%, that's a significant difference, and very frustrating for me. I think next time I get that quest I will just trade it in for something different and not go to the event location until the next day. If I have to go five times to get one banisher then to get 6 for the quest I will have to go 30 times which is 750 passes. At the usual rate of 50-60% I would have to go 10 to 12 times which would be 250 to 300 banishers. That is a significant difference given that I don't have any passes for the special event right now. sigh. I would trade it out but I am halfway there already...just venting I guess.
