Drop rate low enough. 2.5% max most are 2% lowest is like .5%.
If you're so "skilled" then go to Fadhgridh (or where ever the alliance goes to) and break it. It's not a luckfest. The fact that they defend it and eliminate anyone not ready will call for this "skill" you speak about.
If you're fully geared then your chance to get a castle should not be 1/10, or 1/20, you're more or less able to get it, if, of course, you're talking about taking a castle that's defended. Taking a castle without defenses takes no skill whatsoever. Best gears up your chance by a lot. Why talk about skill when you're just gonna open more castles that calls for more brainless idiots gearing full damage and just going for a defenseless castle. Lol. ^__^ And if these guilds do form, what's gonna stop someone decent from taking something from that small guild. It's a fact that one single SinX takes castles from guilds of 15-20. And no, it doesn't take 5 seconds. Rofl what.
Talking about experience... as said before, then experience this server more. Alas, there must be a reason why these people are disagreeing with you. No?
