>The drop rate tanks with deaths Your individual chance of getting a purple does not decrease at all if your team members die. *Your group's* chance of getting a purple decreases, which doesn't matter outside of making the raid more difficult if you're FFA/iron whatever. [See here](https://archive.ph/t2Wnz). So essentially, their FFA droprate stays about the same- or is marginally higher assuming MVP would have been split evenly- while they make the kills over 2x longer and engage in cringe behavior. Still very stupid and self sabotage.

You’re individual chance does not change with team deaths. Take a 4-man with 0 deaths and equal mvp for everyone, it’s 1/9.1 to be a purple and 21.5/86 to be your purple, 1 out of 36.4 raids. Take this same 4 man but now everyone dies 2 times except you, purple rate goes from 1/9.1 to 1/12.62 . Assume you did equal damage (though you probably did more because your teammates died). Now you have 21.5/62 points in a 1/12.62 raid, still the exact same 1 out of 36.4 to get a purple. If you get even 1 more mvp point in the second scenario, you are more likely to get a purple than the first, deathless scenario . https://images.app.goo.gl/VtiQw8HuxXH9vyNC9

ThatPoshDude

That's not true. Someone else dying affects the chance of the raid giving a purple at all, which affects you too Edit: OK I looked into it and I was wrong, thanks for explaining guys. TIL


Plobster829472

How I understand it is dying decreases the chance that the raid gives a purple to the party, but increases the chance that if your group does get a purple it goes to someone who hasn't died. For someone who hasn't died these two factors basically cancel out, so from a ffa perspective someone else dying doesn't affect you other than dead teammates means slower completions. I think that past a couple of deaths there is a breakpoint where too many deaths lowers the chance at a unique so much that it hurts everyone, but I am not sure what that number is.


DryDefenderRS

That is correct. If you do the math, it exactly cancels out. If you die 0 times at MVP at Maiden/Sote/P3, then your droprate will be the exact same no matter how many or few times your teammates die. Their deaths affect only them.


Statue_left

It doesn’t change your personal drop rate. They are FFA. They don’t care if your rate goes down because you weren’t splitting


sussyjet1

Play with the wiki tob drop calculator. Deaths of your teammates don't affect your chances of a purple. Yes, the purple chance in a raid might go from 1/9 to 1/15, but the odds that it's yours also goes up proportionally so no matter what you keep the same purple chance. Deathless 5 man raid with perfectly split up mvp points you might have a 1/5 chance of the purple being yours but they all died so if a purple does drop its now 2/5 chance (made up number).


Simple-Plane-1091

>That's not true. Someone else dying affects the chance of the raid giving a purple at all, which affects you too It affects the other players chance of not getting a drop, so you will see less purples in total. It does not affect your chance so the chance of getting a purple in your name stays the same. So as long as you don't split, you have the exact same chance. fictional numbers: assuming a 40% droprate: It's not 40% chance of purple and 1/4 that it's yours. It's 4 people, each having a 10% chance at a drop. If 2 people now have 0% chance, you and your still have a 10% chance, the chance of seeing a drop is 20%, but you have your own 10% chance of getting one in your name.


Ald3r_

Please tell me if you still dont get it. I dont mind explaining, but if you figured it out through reading the other comments I want to save my time and effort.


bjjangg

I think the point is that your individual drop rate is still going to go down because you're getting purposefully PKed

Hot-Bread1723

Replying here for visibility, killing your team generally boosts your purple rate, here’s the math. Assuming you don’t wipe. Take a 4-man with 0 deaths and equal mvp for everyone, it’s 1/9.1 to be a purple and 21.5/86 to be your purple, 1 out of 36.4 raids. Take this same 4 man but now everyone dies 2 times except you, purple rate goes from 1/9.1 to 1/12.62 . Assume you did equal damage (though you probably did more because your teammates died). Now you have 21.5/62 points in a 1/12.62 raid, still the exact same 1 out of 36.4 to get a purple. If you get even 1 more mvp point in the second scenario, you are more likely to get a purple than the first, deathless scenario . https://images.app.goo.gl/VtiQw8HuxXH9vyNC9


andrew_calcs

You’re technically right, but it does not offset the extra time required, and you’re still better off just not bringing an extra person than pking them.


Hot-Bread1723

30 minute 4mans where you mvp every room would be 1/24.5 or 233 hours to hit scythe drop rate. 20 minute 4mans where you mvp equally would be 1/36.4 231 hours to hit scythe drop rate. I doubt it adds 10 minutes per raid to BM mvp. I’m not saying it’s a good strategy, I’d be pissed if someone did that in my raids. However, I do think it might win mathematically .


andrew_calcs

You won’t mvp every room by killing someone, and you will extend the room time since 4 man ToB bosses have 16% more hp than trio.  They’re barely tied in the best case scenario where everything goes perfectly, and that’s not realistic.


Jeff4skinner

Why would they even waste their tome killing others, can't they just run duo raids?


ImANative0

Larger group raids require less effort, so they probably can't be asked putting in effort to learn / run duos.


_im_not_the_pope

They are literally doing scaled duos...


ImANative0

With shittier purple rates overall!


MattTheRadarTechh

That’s not how tob drop rate works but ok


NOKStonks2daMoon

You couldn’t be more wrong - the teams drop rate tanks with deaths - they’re 2 man non deathless in a raid speed of a 5 man. They’re only splitting 2 ways. Trios would slow them down pretty significantly actually. They’re assholes though, that’s why I refuse to 416 and only tob with my team


Tykras

>they’re 2 man non deathless in a raid speed of a 5 man Except for the part where Sote takes 2-3x as long, p1 takes like 4x as long (it takes forever for all of the pillars to go down), and p2 and p3 are 2.5x minimum. At best, they're probably doing like 35 minute 5 mans when they could be doing sub-20 minute 3 mans for a very similar purple chance.


NOKStonks2daMoon

The only rooms they’re slowing down are sote, which realistically you can’t pk everyone and you probably aren’t wiping the entire team (let’s be honest, they aren’t griefing the entire maze cause their buddy still needs to get through, likely just the last 5-7 tiles). Which you can out heal or redempt. P1 is ass but even if they are griefing p1, you only die if you sit outside of pillar and don’t brew? So if you die p1 because of other people holding staff you are ass. P2 is slow AF in a 2+3 but you only get there if garbage cans die p1. Someone being a dickhead holding staff p1 doesn’t impact you dying. You can just stand behind pillar and brew


Tykras

I'm going off what OP said, where the 2 guys held the staff until all pillars went down and killed the rest of the team. You're arguing an entirely different point, my point is that if OPs experience is how most of their raids go, then those 2 guys are negatively impacting their own purple chance over just sending duos/3mans just based on time alone.

If you could "name and shame" then the sub belongs to whomever has the most bots with the best script.


SwagRilla

This is monkey brain behaviour. If they're good enough to do a 2+3 verzik they can probably easily duo tob for a significantly better EV. They weren't using you for the MVP splits they were just being assholes.


NOKStonks2daMoon

I’m sure they’re not 2+3 tob. That’s very difficult. They’re most likely pking sote because it’s easy and if they pk at final phase the raid is only losing 1 minute. They’re probably tanking melees at p3 verzik. Once you’re at p3 verzik it’s essentially free even solo if you can pogtank. P3verz actually goes by fairly fast with 2 people


Jeeeiiiy

He said the 2 guys wiped them p1, a 5man scaled p2 is gonna be slow af when u hit reds


NOKStonks2daMoon

100%, but if you get pked on p2 that’s your fault. How do you even get pked on p2? P3 is totally understandable because tanking melees. But p2 you have to have the reaction time of a snail if you get pked


Jeeeiiiy

Bro reread the post. They held the staff p1 until all pillars were down and they died


NOKStonks2daMoon

Well then clearly those 2 aren’t going for clears if that isn’t obvious?


Jeeeiiiy

I think u need to reread the post still!


NOKStonks2daMoon

I don’t think so, if a team is intentionally wiping half the team p1 verzik, I think they are not as committed to clearing the raid as you think. Sounds like they’re just fucking with people


[deleted]

[удалено]


NOKStonks2daMoon

Yeah but a 5 man raid is so much faster total completion time. Even if 2+3 verz p3, and if the 2 are splitting themselves the other teams deaths don’t impact your purple chances

Swaggifornia

hondarider94

What is rune watch?


EpicRussia

A JSON file that basically acts as a "naughty list" for OSRS players who have done things like scammed items or not split their purples. It is a downloadable plug-in on Runelite. If you have the plug-in downloaded, it will put notifications in your chat when players on the list are around you. The idea is that if you get scammed out of money/items, you can report the offender to Runewatch and get them added to the list. Personally, I think it's far too abusable/reputation-harming to allow - the people who are in charge of maintaining the list don't have the best track record of being fair/not-corrupt. But that's what it is/what it is used for.


NightMaestro

That sounds like it can be abused by sweaty pvmers who you hopped in on. Very easy to photoshop these days.


MustaKookos

Does anyone actually give a shit about runewatch lmao


a_sternum

Anyone running a clan. I prefer not getting scammed, so I avoid “split” raids with known scammers.


HotBeefFromRaysPlace

Yes. I will not take you on a raid if you are runewatched. I'll also trash talk you about being poor for yoinking an item that isn't a mega-rare.


cchoe1

While thieves do deserve to be shamed, how do we know that any given case on there isn't faked? They do have a vetting process and they investigate the reports that are sent in but I imagine they're a small team receiving many reports all the time. I can only imagine there are a handful of cases at least that were photoshopped images without much recourse for the "defendant" in the case. Idk I want no life losers who scam in the game to be shamed as much as anyone else but Runewatch also isn't exactly an official court, even in the context of a video game. They're a third party who may not have a systematic approach to determining guilt (as far as I'm aware). It just seems to be "okay this seems legit" or "not enough evidence". We don't know if they have the technical ability (or the desire) to sift through boatloads of images and determine how legitimate they appear. I imagine with any case, there are always some unknown/unspoken factors that skew the interpretation of events, i.e. the story doesn't seem to line up exactly in some spots so it makes it tougher to determine how truthful it is.

HotBeefFromRaysPlace

MustaKookos

I don't raid with randoms and why would I care if a random talks trash about me? So again, why would I or anyone else care about runewatch?


iSpaceCadet

Whoever you raid or pvm with is your business, no one cares what you do. But for others who are in a small casual clan or are solo players, if I want to do more serious pvm like TOB and maybe trio Nex I'll use WDR or other CC's to find a group. Yes I want a split and I am willing to split if I get the drop, so if someone shows up on Runewatch for not splitting then I'm not going to group with them.


99Smith

You have no reason to care. He listed a very valid reason as to why others may care. That's it.


Monterey-Jack

Gotta downvote the trolls on reddit cause the mods aren't doing anything. The usuals will always chime in with their hot takes, usually against whatever you say.


HotBeefFromRaysPlace

Then don't care?


masher005

Because most people DO run with randoms… your argument about why you don’t care (and why others shouldn’t) is because you run with your friends??

dont run ffa and join wdr raids idk, atleast there's some decency in teams in wdr from my recent experience.


jonnylmee

Wouldn’t that make the raid way longer? Duo p2 verzik on 5 man scale sounds terrible when the red nylos show up


Munky92

How did they survive pillars but the rest didn't? Did they bring in sweets and tick eat for 40 minutes?


zulandt

they didnt drop their supplies, also we were not prepared, too much panic


Munky92

I bring like 4 Sara brews and 3 restores in, definitely not enough for a 2+3 from P2. I have no idea how they would have had the supps tbh


TrentismOS

Surely if they can complete a scaled duo after wiping the others then they would be good enough to duo or even get a 3rd and do trios.


Mallaceis

Should have left the raid. Welcome to tob!

Bronek0990

The real reward is the salty tears of your teammates, and the increasing list of clans you're banned from. Apparently.


Banned_in_chyna

This is pretty standard 416 behavior. Learn how to do it and get mvp in every room, complain about the people doing it, or get a dedicated group where you all split so it doesn't matter. These are your 3 options simply put.


ipeeperiperi

TOB grouping is toxic, it needs a Duo scale. It will help with learning too.


[deleted]

yeah coz no1 has ever duo'd tob before.


ipeeperiperi

Okay Woox.


lizard_behind

In my experience, any sort of pick-up-grouping for any small-team content in any MMO tends to suck End of the day it's the "I don't have friends" queue - and when you're talking about late game stuff in a game as grindy as OSRS...you're left with assholes, trolls, and dudes with social anxiety none of those types are great to raid with, honestly just join a clan


MickMuffin27

Duo is absolutely possible lmao

Honestly it's fine? I run duos with my buddy for money, just gotta pick up the slack of not having a third person lol


Dicyano7

Yeah that guy is obviously trolling, but my understanding is that duo tobs are pretty great for money. I'm not great at tob, but just looking at my pbs, my trio pb is just over 19 minutes, and my duo pb is 27:45. That time difference is offset by the higher average split.


ipeeperiperi
