Xodia, I honestly can't tell if you're joking or if you've been huffing paint, but I'll take this as an opportunity to brag about the drops I've gotten already explain to you how it's been working since the Surge event began.
I first noticed what was happening when I saw someone had about 200 liminal residue listed in their bazaar for only 6k a piece. Normally they will go for around 10-20k. When I arrived at Walk of Echoes to buy what they had, I noticed there were about 45-55 players in the zone when it is normally empty.
I then realized they were all there zerging the same confluxes over and over (11 and 13, sometimes 4).
I had never done a surged conflux before then, so I can't really compare what it might be like pre-surge event. This may be purely speculation on my part, but I do believe the drop rate of valuable items is drastically increased during this campaign. I was able to collect 3 Windbuffet +1 belts in only about 20 runs, which were all completed quickly and with little effort. You might also notice a sudden drop in the price of Windbuffet+1 on our server and the auction house being flooded with this and other high value drops from WoE. (sadly, I had just purchased one for myself at double the price they are going for now just one day before it all began.)
There is no need to shout for players, there are usually people there all hours of the night during JP prime hours. No invite needed. The more people who come and fight, the faster the wins flow. I get at least one item worth 2mil or more a day doing a few casual runs. (flume belt+1, fairy hairpin +1) There are also numerous items worth around 500-600k between those.
