Well a guy in my guild has gotten like 4 from pvp bags and he doesn't play an insane amount or anything. I've opened over a thousand bags with nothing useful in them.

Purples have roughly the same drop rates as amps / ability tiers, and they are intended to... but you are forgetting a massive issue... There is one dropable Amp upgrade and one dropable ability tier upgrade (2 items if we count them together). in other words, for a single mob killed, thats two possible RNG rolls. Searching for epics on jabbithole returns: ~30,000 epic items (armour, gear, weapons) Let me pose a mathematical question. If you kill a mob, and you have 0.02% chance to roll one item (Amp point), 0.02% chance to roll another (ability point) and oh, lets 30,000 chances to roll a purple item at ~ the same 0.02%s; Which do you think you will see most frequently? One of the 30,000+ items, or one of the two items? Granted in practice every mob can't drop every epic; but the loot tables always favor epics over amps / ability points because of a sheer numbers game on the rolls. You will always have a better chance of rolling an epic than an amp / ability point from the vast majority of mobs; because their loot table simply holds more epics than amps/ ability points (in most cases, there are undoubtedly exceptions, esp in instanced content & bags). And to be completely honest, I'm not whiteknighting Carbine here, I'm supporting the idea of time and effort in completion / extra carrots in MMO'S. I feel a real sense of accomplishment after working to get the extra carrots. Most people do. I absolutely do not want the first game in a while to not hand out everything on a golden platter to start going down that path. It ruined WoW for me, it ruined FFXI for me, it ruined SWTOR for me.... I would be much obliged if it didn't ruin W* as well, especially when the contested items are so minimally impactful on content. And I am not the only one that feels this way; Obviously there was enough similar sentiment to warrant a Hardcore MMO redux (named W*).

Makes sense it was the "one time you grouped" as there is clearly some hidden "magic find" when grouped.
