Are you legit?

The current "drop system" is a complete failure. It's way to advantageous to the hacker/botter. The only other way of "hunting" your book would be to gacha in your class' town.

And when you think about it.. It isn't just MMBs.

What about recipes? Super rare recipes such as DAB, Abyss, Fearless, Android Heart, are close to impossible to hunt for. I spent many hours hunting a gold heart recipe even on 4x drop It's just tedious! Also items such as the dominator pendant.. how is someone suppose to make this without duping essences?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy items made rare by the challenge of making/earning them but it feels like the system is built around hackers instead of adjusted to combat them..

This is soo true. Anything level 10 in the professions is pretty much impossible to get without a botter/duper. The items are just too rare.
