Save it, I just THINK alot.
I have been playing computer games since 1984 and have been online shortly there after. I have just seen alot in my time. One thing that I see alot of, starting with my playing of "pencil and paper" games in the 70's was .... There are people who will seek out and exploit any possible "weakness" in a system.
It doesn't take much thought to design something right the first time, when you compare the amount of time that it will take to correct something afterwards.

I've logged on characters from other servers and hunted and zero rares - so sounds like your blowing wind with this theory.

The new addition to the Rare system STARTS with Feb patch.
You *STILL* have to hunt stuff that meets the requiements for generating a rare, it's not a 'Login rare system', it's a 'Increased odds over Time' system.

day 1 will be Feb 15, let's say the patch in April is April 15. So you will be guaranteed a rare by April 14, on one of your kills.
They somehow managed to have your personal chance of finding a rare increase over time, for the duration you do not find one. The minute you find one, the two month thing starts over.
OR at least that is how I read it.

Myth. The chance of finding a rare is 1:2500 for each eligible kill. The game doesn't give a crap where you're at or what you're killing as long as you meet the eligibility requirements (level and AC: TD owner.)
Vellus' understanding of the change is in line with mine as well. There's not much to worry about here.
As for drop rate increases, the higher tier -- 4+ -- drop rates are increasing. Tiers 1 - 3 aren't being touched

Well, technically it isn't a total myth.
As long as you meet the conditions for finding rares (your level vs the monster level, etc), there are monsters and dungeons that are much easier to kill, and where you can kill them faster, thus the percentage chance of finding a rare increases.
If it takes you 20 seconds to kill monster A, and 10 seconds to kill monster B, and you meet the conditions for finding rares on both, given the same spawn rate, you will get more rares (on average) off monster B than monster A.
