The latest changes to the Garmoth heart won't change anything. Why?
For the last two years (i.e. since the introduction of these ridiculous series of quests for Garmoth Heart) I have participated in every single Garmoth kill. How many hearts or pets did I get? 0. If each Garmoth gave even just one aura, I would already have 3 hearts.
Increasing the price of Garmoth Heart won't change anything. We have 1,000 preorders for 9b, there will be 900 preorders for 20b. Why? Because the number of hearts that go to players will not increase and because as I just proved, getting even 20b is 300 times easier and faster than getting a heart from Garmoth loot.

Garmoth bloodstones is still an rng with probably a 0.01% chance for bloodstone so it won't change anything either.

And finally we come back to these absurd quests. Garmoth heart should be a reward, and almost all of these quests require us to spend money, i.e. simply buy this heart using these quests. So what's the point? Let the PA simply add option of a one-time purchase of Garmoth Heart for 6b from IS (this is approximately how much these quests cost us) and the result will be the same.

There are over 1k preorders because, nobody is selling hearts for 9b now ( many people refused to sell it for that price even year ago and they just kept them). PA announced gamroth's heart price increase few weeks ago, now they only showed details..  People in my guild have 2-3 hearts for sell for few months... Now we will have pity system for both weapons how it should be ( despite the fact that time gating your progress behind RNG boss which spawns 3 times per week and has 0,1% dropping heart is bad design).

It almost would have worked, I have an extra 5 Garmoth Hearts, they increased the price to 20b, I might sell one of them, might.  The max price needs to be up to 50b before I think I would sell any of them, 20b just isn't gonna be enough silver to warrant it when it is only 20 hours of grinding.

bro just w8 it out, change isnt even out yet

So, a month later, what are the results? Just like I presented.

How many Garmoth bloodstones have I obtainedted?

ZERO.

And I would like to remind you that you need to collect 10.

Hehehe I find it kinda funny how stupid the game gets over the years from companies development results and empty content..

u got 0 chances to get garmoth heart.. yet elten piece seems more closer in reach KEKW and if u have not enough go Nouverikant even that is higher chances than the stupid heart.. this rng based pitty system is trash

It's like 18 bil on EU and in 1 month i only got 1 piece lol. I thought the quest reward thingy was supposed to cancel out boss contirbution damage but now its worse. 

Why? Garmoth doesn't have dmg drop bonuses. Only Kzarka, Karanda, Kutum and Nouver have it.

Also this bonus DOES NOT AFFECT chance of top drop (i.e. weapon box).

almost 2 month and i got only 1 blood shard. at this rate i will get garmoth pity when im dead

so where is pity peice for blood shard? we need blood shard shard

but will we get the blood shard shard? we need blood shard shard shard

I don't undersand why anyone would think that they are somehow entitled to a valuable item just because they have been trying a long time to get it. While you're at it, maybe everyone should just get a free heart? That's the route they took with Dream horses, and frankly, it cheapens the efforts of everyone who painfully farmed all the mats and dealt with the RNG to make their own. It was a bad decision. They are pretty much givning away Khan hearts too, but at least Khan drops other useful items. If Velll or Garmouth hearts became guaranteed, very few would come to those fights anymore because the rest of their loot table is garbage. There is a small group of players on NA that have all the best gear and items, and they are *bored*. One only comes on once or twice a month to sink ships after Vell. They admitted that's all they have left of interest, just ganking people that are weaker. Another cruises the seas looking for weaker ships to sink, mostly guild galleys, and on land just rips through Rawr-Rawr hunters. He even streams it. He's bored, he calls it role-playing, but it's just ganking because there is nothing else left for him. Stop wishing for EZ-mode, it will not help the longevity of the game or interest in the game, and you will only wind up with hundreds of bored PKs instead of a small handful. Sure, people are going to drop out from frustration, but it's worse if they drop out because there is nothing left of interest, or even worse still, the only interest they have left is ruining things for everyone else. I played EQ2 for many years, and that's what happened there; a constant stream of game updates that did nothing but invalidate previous content and make you start over. After a while, it's just the same thing over and over wiht new graphics.
