They will continue to drop, but when the next DLC comes out it will pick up again. Although, I don't think it will pick back up as much as some might think. Reason being, gamers know what D1 was like, the incentive it had etc. D2 doesn't have that going for it and updates that are just putting out small petty things that have no interest will not keep many gamers interest in wanting to play. Look what Bungie offered with the first expansion. Does anyone really expect that much more knowing this is not a loot base system anymore? It has no progression system No gear or weapons to look forward to knowing perks are set. You don't have a chance to find better gear or weapons like D1 when getting duplicates. In D1 even if you got the same gear piece over and over unlike D2. There was different stats that can increase your armor, health, intellect, discipline that would improve your characters abilities that gamers looked forward to. I'm sorry, but the Chuck-E-Cheese tokens are not working for this game. Gamers want to see the engrams drop and have a chance to get a new reward, not spend time leveling up rep for a chance to get their 1000th duplicate that should have an automatic dismantle system at this point. The game is lacking way too much to keep a lot of the player base interest, and the 6+ million that drooped this game like a bad habit and plummeting is proof of that. Hell, D1 around this time had 3+ million. That alone says enough.
