Hey, I know this isn't some game-breaking theory, but it's something i've noticed and have been curious about. And i've never seen this talked about anywhere... but I believe that the game puts a 5-min timer on players/groups who get beastmen seals or kindred seal drops.
My roommate and I have been duo'ing beastmaster pets from lv15-66 and we soon noticed that we never had 2 seals in the treasurebox at once, and that we'd always seem to get another seal once one went to someone. So we came up with a theory that maybe 2 seals can't be in the lootpool at the same time, so we started lotting them to get them out of the pool faster so more could drop.
This didn't really work since, we'd lot them immeadiately, but none ever seemed to drop for a bit. We assumed this was bad luck or whatever and didn't think much of it until we noticed we'd almost always get another seal shortly after 5min of one dropping.
So maybe the game tags players with a 5minute (loot pool auto-distribute length) so that players can't get tons of seals in a short time.
So anyways, I just wanted to see if this theory could be proven wrong I guess from people who farm seals or maybe solo bsts... or anyone. And I hope this isn't too zam![]()
