In TOTW I must have killed (solo) GOT about 50 times in the past few days and never dropped GTA. Is this another "undocumented" 16.3 change?

In the time it took you to camp that many times, you could have out-leveled it.
Want triples nerfed? Here is what you can do (Don't be so retarded to apply this to todays game)

That wasn't the question.
Nothing has been changed in the temple drop rates, so the GTA should have exactly the same drop rate as it always has.

Well, as a well-known fact - I know nothing (especially about engineers).
In my opinion, GTA's drop rate is either very small, or very random - even before the latest patch. I've seen it drop a total of ONCE, personally. This despite my doc and [to a lesser extent] my engi both living at TOTW at one point during their creation.

As far as rumours go, GTA is only dropped by a L69+ GoT. This means that the drop rate is based on:
1) %chance of GoT Level (Usually L67,68,69,70)
2) %chance for L69+ GoT to drop GTA
--> Very very random drop% if the speculation is anywhere accurate.
I've seen 3 GTAs drop in about 100+ career GoT kills, so I'm not surprised that so many people are frustrated with the drop rate.
To all you Enforcers:
You are the core of the team. You have an overwhelming presence, such that mobs never dare even look at your doc. In battle, you fall before your teammates do, and even then you alway give a good account of yourself to your foes. By excelling in crowd control, you make yourself a valuable tool to any team. Take a beating with a smile, tank with pride. Be faithful to the Enforcer's Creed: "Hugging reclaim, so that you don't have to."

An orgmate of mine just had about 30 kills on GoT and finally got his. He then left ToTW, never to return...

Ive also had massive runs of kills with no got - 30/40+.

We had one drop during the 16.3 patch cycle... it's not a high drop rate though (probably about 5% from the higher GoTs as mentioned)... so unless it's for a twink, it's really not worth camping for... go, get your belt, and if one drops, consider yourself lucky.

There also are rumors, that the level of GoT depens of the level of players in the dungeon. So as being lvl 60, get your own istance, get your 69+ GoT and the GTA. The droprate for the GTA itself seems to be rather decent, have gotten 2 GTAs for just 2 kills each. Might have been pure luck though...

Leaving TOTW and coming back also does not increase your chances of it dropping either. My chances of GTA have always been 1 out of 10 straight kills.

GTA droprate has been nerfed since the Inner Sanctum patch when they nerfed droprates on the exarch robes which then suddenly became usefull for IS passes.
[Edit]
Besides, it's all down to luck. Drop rate chance does not accumulate. So if it has a 5% droprate, there is not automation in that after 20 kills you will have a drop. But you have a 5% chance on each spawn.
Although i think the actual droprate on GTA is lower than 5%. Average number of spawns between drops for me have been between 30-50

When I made my MP, i borrowed a TOTWturd^H^H^H^Htwink and made my run at level 59. I only wanted a belt, but instead I got a GTA. It rotted in a bag and has never been worn.

Hmmm, never thought of that, Got drop on my first solo kill with my MA, but got a high instance and only a few other in the dungeon.
Killed it a gazilion times on my RK2 sol, never getting drop, got there with my ma and 2 kills I got it, only really wanted it because its a goodlooking tank :P, the Ex robe is just as good for a twink if not better with the resists and a little more hp tho 90 less in AC, how much difference will 90ac make ?

Wars, conflict, it's all business. One murder makes a villain. Millions a hero. Numbers sanctify.
What? What has happened to "you have to be teamlevel x+" or solo to get GTA drop theories that were rampant when I camped GTA? Or theory that it only drops in certain GS? This level theory is totally new to me.

The gta isnt much better then a robe and the only reason I make sure to get a robe is is pass. Everything iffy to get in totw is also useless by 130 anyway.
