originally it was for castles only, right? but i do remember drops from mobs on that pirate island too, not sure about this anymore, long time ago. anyway, i prefer the original way, castles, so that sieges get even more important, but since there are only a few big clans and a lot of small clans and solo players, i also prefer a very very low droprate (not spoil) from a few mobs, in the range of lv 40-65 this makes it fair for everybody
