I don't mean as frequent as quest points but they are ridiculously rare when some of the items in the shop cost 25 points.
I got a couple of forum points during the first 3 days of Masquerade then nothing at all even though I kept posting for dances. I also posted in a few other topics in different forums.
I got a fifty of them so I think you are unlucky.
How many posts did you make to get 50 and how many days/weeks/months did it take?
Before Masquerade I had just gotten finished spending all but four, and when you posted your OP I had 54. This is over the course of Masquerade, enough posts to earn three thousand lounge trinkets. So a thousand posts -ish? For me then this would be a drop rate of one in twenty.
I'm very unlucky, then. I've been posting in various topics today and still no forum points. :(
It's also possible that Subeta has been messing with the drop rate for these the same way they messed with the drop rate for Quest Points. They divided up the userbase into five parts for that and you might be in the wrong quintile this time. In that case a feedback complaint is very much in order.
In any case, before the Masquerade Raffle Tickets cost 1.2MsP and now they are .6MsP. This is a larger drop in price for these than I personally would expect from previous post-heavy holiday events.
Thanks for the suggestion about what might be going on. I'll try posting about it in the Feedback forum. I've made more posts since the last one in this topic and still nothing.
