Seriously?  So "easily" ? Way to fix something long after guilds exploited it to get what they wanted.  Are y'all also removing the items from those that exploited it in the first place?

I also like how a 50/50 chance apparently to get a heart for a 5 day reset timer zone for a repeatable quest is being nerfed on the drop rate even further.When the exploit should have been corrected and the items removed from those who exploited the coding/drop problem.

Why not make this a chest drop?  Problem solved.

How was it broken before that  to allow exploiting?

And yeah just make it a 1 heart per chest drop like Mayong or Malkonis.

I assume you would be able to burn one down check for a heart then reset the encounter before the fix.  Which would allow for endless body drops more or less.

Wow... Ya know its kinda crappy when you already have to run SoH 24+ times to get everyone the update.. and 24+ times every 5 days, so already per say to get your raid grp the update you would have to spend 120 days to get everyone the update. Now, doing this as you have, you have added 5 more days to 120 everytime one does not drop, so out of say 6 runs you only get 2 hearts: thats 30 days and only 2 updates and you have added 20 more days to the already 120 days...  So yeah, the exploiting factor needs to be fixed but Making the heart an uncommon drop is stupid, and god forbid it has a drop on the hearts like Mayong or Wooshie (<--- not spelled right) did with there uncomon drops.. SMILEY

1) Need to take items away from exploiters, instead of rewarding them by making it harder for the rest of us to get them.

 2) Hearts should not be a rare drop. Should be every time, like Dmortes head in FT. Also there should be a rare chance of dropping two hearts, since there ARE two mobs there...

 PS: Fix shadowknights plz.  AoC is coming soon....

i agree, just put it in the chest instead of punishing people because some [Removed for Content] exploited it and those exploiters still have what they wanted..

I'd also like to see this item made a chest drop over a body drop.  Not just for exploit reasons but for ease of looting.  On our first time through this zone we didn't read up on anything, we were new to all encounters and loot and once we killed off this duo didn't even know there was a body drop that gave an exceptional reward.  Now shame on our raid leader for not looting corpses, and a whoopsie on the part of a guildie that ran back by the corpse and looted it without a second thought...but the end result was that because of the short duration on looting restrictions on a corpse, someone looted this item without having any clue what it was or its value.  So yeah..now we have a necro with the one of the most uber charm slot items for a fighter in game *rolls eyes*Had we seen that item in an exquisite chest, we would have stopped long enough to try and figure out what the hell it was supposed to be for and gotten it into the hands of someone that could use it well.
