You created this cool new archipelago only to fill it with mobs who 95% of the time drop skill advancement experience and Duranium gear the other 4.9% of the time.
I'm the kind of player that likes to spend an hour running in a circle, killing groups of Exodor mobs again and again, to see if I can get some interesting stuff, but the good stuff like Feedstock, Tokens or Gear are such rare drops that it feels very unrewarding. It's just such wasted potential. Not to mention that BAMs have exactly the same problem. They're the hardest open world BAMs to kill outside of global ones like Cerrus, Ortan, Hazard and some named bosses, yet you almost always only get skill advancement experience. Are you trying to force people to do party dungeons that much? Is that such a big goal?
