The Team Conundrum - Drops

[Fan Mail]

We all like teams, well most of us.  But you know, going from solo'ing quite a bit to teaming, the drops just aren't there.  Shouldn't we look at fixing that?  Perhaps the Suggestion forum would be better for this.  Thoughts?

Drops are spread equally in teams. So if you feel you're getting significantly less drops, pat yourself on the back: that means you're doing such a good job your teammates just aren't as efficient as you, pound for pound. 😉

If I solo level 34 to 35 I get way more drops than if I were to do a full 8 person team doing the same.  Your answer makes sense I guess but it just doesn't seem right.  

 

If I were solely looking for drops, I'll guess I'll go farm.

The drops are based on number of enemies not number of team mates and are shared randomly between the people in the team. If you solo +8 you will get a vast number of drops because the share is 1. If you team with 8 then it will be divided between the 8 of you. Not all enemies generate a drop so it will look like you are getting less. The drop rate is the same it's just spread thinner.
