...but make them drop two at a time.

It'll have the same overall drop rate: right now it's 10 every 10%, so theoretically that's one per bag. This way, it'd be two every other bag, for a theoretical drop rate of one per bag as well.

Ok, maybe 50% is too much, but play around with the numbers, so we have a bigger chance to see it.

Please :(

Try to walk a mile in a healer's sandals. That way, you'll be a mile ahead of them. And out of range for heals. And die. And blame it on them.

since you only need 1, thats a terrible idea, it means 5 times as many toothpick drops and that many fewer Squashling/helm/mask chances

I had HUNDREDS of toothpicks last year, there's nothing wrong with it

Don't worry, you'll get the toothpick very easily if you keep ToTing. And soon you'll be so sick of it you'll punch a baby every time you get one!

Imo this should be from the candy bags, not the trick or treating, because wasting my hour cooldown to get toothpicks makes me rage with the power of nerdisms.

Never got the hallowed title on my warrior last year because he didnt get a single toothpick (got 3 squashlings and a helm though). I just think its ridiculous that there is such a large gap, its either no toothpicks, or tons of toothpicks. Upping the droprate on them slightly would be nice, though i would say no more than 20% max.

Some people look at the glass as half full, while others look at the glass as half empty. I just want to know who the @@## was drinking out of my glass.

7/10 of my chars have gotten toothpicks since Sunday, probably ToT 15-16 times max. One of them has gotten 3 sets of toothpicks; apparently Blizzard has singled her out as having poor dental hygiene.

It's called a "random number generator" for a reason. You get shafted? OH WELL.

I come from a D2: LoD back ground. I played that game for a decade and there are items I STILL haven't found. You guys are complaining about getting a tooth pick over the course of 2 weeks. PUHLEAZE.

Yeah, it kinda sucks to spend a year working on the drake only to be chasing your friends 310% mounts on your "slow" mount cuz you got shafted by a random number generator.

No toothpick yet. None last year, and it seems im not alone.

With both the Squashling and the toothpick achievement being entirely up to luck of the draw, it be nice to see the toothpick boe or be able to trade in something for them (tricky treats?).

It's easy enough to get a bag, heck, I just got 2 masks in a row of Treatings... That makes 3 diffrent masks, and a Squashling from my first trick or treat bag too.

I have a better idea: change it so that if you get "tricked", the cooldown is much shorter than an hour to try it again.

It's bad enough not getting the item you need. It's worse when you can't even get a chance to get the item you need because the first out of the two-step RNG check keeps getting in your way. I've only gotten 4-5 treats out of 18 attempts. The rest were trick after trick after trick.

Are your teeth that dirty that you need them to drop more often?

Would changing the drop rate on the toothpicks truly be game changing? I mean my god.. you might actually make some of your customers happy...

Wouldn't want that.

Make the tooth picks account bound and up trick or treating to lvl 10+
Same with pets/helm
RNG still in play but better odds of not getting the shaft

Edit: Id love to not spend 20 hours on the last day trying for it like i did on the candy bag during valentines day. (Got it last hour you could phew)

As much as giving out freebies is your definition of fun, we don't think everybody should get everything just for logging in. We feel the toothpicks aren't that hard to get and while there could be some people with bad luck here and there, anybody I know who consistently worked at this event got the one they needed for the achievement.
