Please greatly increase the frequency of random Lopter spawns while sailing.  Currently, we're lucky if we get 1 lopter spawn every 6 months.  It appears to be a broken spawn system.

There are titles available for 1/10/100 lopter kills.   100 lopter kills at the current rate would take 50 years.

Also, please make the Lopter Scale a guaranteed drop.

For the time being, can we please get a definitive clarification of the actual spawn conditions?  

Definitely Lopter is bugged. A friend who has been actively bartering for over a year met him only once. I only did once too.

Rumors that can be obtained on the net show that Lopter spawns only in the vicinity of the Oquilla Eye. And that may be true because that's where I met him. But no one is going to senselessly sail days, weeks or months around the Oquilla Eye just to kill 100 of them for the title.

Correct. Conditions of his spawning was never explained.

I got mine just southwest of Oquilla on the way back from sailies, right by some underwater reef

Yeah. I've looked for that one for a while.  I didn't even know there was a requirement to kill 100 of them. If that's the case, they should be almost as common as the smuggler ships, which have a similar requirement.

This is still horrible knowledge/mob to get even with the great sea monster rework. I drive through these area's so often and even attempted to increase the chance by avoiding the Mermaids wish and it still never triggers and I have spent over a year now hunting it almost every day.

Almost a year after my last post and I'm still at 0 spawns.

Meanwhile, I got the smuggler ship achievement a while ago, just from killing them while bartering.

Please fix.

6 months? I never saw any of them and I'm bartering almost every day since 2 years.
