Hi

Can you explain to me why more and more players are raising their nodes to lvl 10 and asking to have the lead when the node lvl does not work on group loot?

● For every Node level raised by investing Energy, Item Drop Rate will be increased by 5% for 10% of the monsters you defeat.

- For example, if the Node level is 10, you will have a 50% higher Item Drop Rate from 10% of the monsters you defeat.

- By 10% of the monsters you defeat, we mean that if you defeat 10 monsters, the higher drop rate will be applied to one of the monsters.

- This will not affect Party drop items and junk items that always drop from monsters with 100% rate.

Simplest answer, it's the same issue every MMO faces.

Some players don't think and others don't read how game mechanics work.

What you linked is refering to boss loot. You should have increased drop on group spots with node investment, altrough each player gets his own modifiers, and being party leader or not don't matter.

At on point nodes did affect party members as long as the lead has level 10 node but was fixed a while ago supposedly
