Look, the nerf to cinders drop rate sucks so I’m not going to advocate for any changes that makes things feel less rewarding, but I don’t think being hyperbolic about the impact this does any good either. It just makes Blizzard more dismissive of our feedback.
It takes like 15-20 minutes to get 250 cinders just fighting stuff at a normal pace, and I’m sure you can get them twice as fast if you target events and high value mobs. That’s not that bad. Does the nerf make Helltides feel less rewarding? Absolutely. Does it make it challenging to still get multiple chests? No.
