Greater and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs are TOO RARE

These are basically non-existent. Why are they so super rare?

Something certainly seems screwy here. At the rate I'm going, I will have enough Perfect Orbs for my build before I get my first Greater.

I cannot say anything about perfect ones(cause I can accept that those should start dropping at higher levels), but I totally agree about greater ones.
1 lvl 65 character
1 lvl 70 character
friend leveled one to 74 or so far.

I found 1-1 greater orb, friend found not a single one.

I’m almost level 80 and found zero Greater and Zero Perfect. It’s like they don’t exist at all.

Lv77 here, found two greaters and zero perfects. Would really like to get at least one perfect. T_T

Considering what we have seen with Exalted and Regal Orbs, I'm guessing the devs is taking their philosophy to an extreme.

They don't want to face the negative feedback for when they have to lower drop rates, so they start with an extremely low drop rate that is obviously not a good experience, then slowly, over the course of 6 months, raise it little by little.

That's what they're doing with Exalted and Regals. I wouldn't be surprised it's also what they're doing with the rest of the currencies.

This way they can even earn the title of "listening to players".

All is according to plan.

This is what happens when the devs make a currency too rare. They could design it like “we want people to get orb X every 30 hours of playing”

Thats a damn rare currency, but it means every character should end up with one by like mid to late game, right? (I’m generalizing, setting aside things like drops being tied to mob level, etc. for purposes of the example).

Nope! That’s not how average work.

When 1 million people play it means that most will get one to drop by mid to late game, and some people will play for 3,000 hours and never see a single one. This is MATHEMATICALLY GUARANTEED.

Any currency that rare that gets added to the game HAS to get added with some form of bad luck protection. ESPECIALLY for SSF players.

Not doing so just shows a poor understanding of math by the devs. A pretty bad sign for an ARPG.

I have only found one lesser jeweller's orb since the end of act 3 ez and I'm close to the end of act 2 cruel now. It absolutely sucks...

Level 79 - have found ZERO greater or perfects.

Level 81, found one greater orb in a T7 map 10 hours ago. Nothing since.
