| Question = All I'm seeing are protection sets. Can you please put the profiles back to how they used to be?
| Text = Protection sets are simply more common now. Other sets are either just as common or more common than they used to be as well. All sets have exactly the same % chance of dropping.

I'll put it this way, the protection set pieces you find now would have been items with no set qualities on them before.

Like I said about banes, there's simply 7 of these so of course you're going to be more likely to see one of them than another set. The percentages on protection sets were so low before that if anyone wanted to make a protection set the most likely would have taken at least 3-5 times as many pulls to finish as any other set.

| Question = I would have preferred only 2 sets for the protections. One for physicals and one for elements.
| Text = I'll look at the numbers and see if that's feasible. The prot sets though potentially powerful are not very useful as they'll only assist you in specific situations and it's tough to make an entirely different set of armor just for some odd situations. Let alone making another set of armor with set spells outside of your normal armor with set spells.

| Question = All I'm seeing are protection sets. Can you please put the profiles back to how they used to be?
| Text = I said I'd look into the numbers and see how they look. I'm aware how important protections are to PvP and I'm not going to just change things without doing any research.

| Question = In the mana forge chests if only Tier 400 420 weapons drop, why do all seven tiers of covenant drop?
| Text = I have a list of things that need looking at for loot profiles. I'll throw this on there. We've plucked most of the low hanging fruit on the profiles, it's looking like further changes will require a major investment. However the more that seems to need changing the more valuable the change will be because as it's far less time consuming to do a fair number of loot changes at the same time then to do them one at a time.

Covenant is already hard enough to get with the things you need on it let alone having to worry about getting an al 100 piece.
