I admire your request, but I reckon it will be in vain. The only way to find out drop rates is by testing it yourself.

Generally there are three different drop rate mechanics on different server (groups). Check your server to see which group you belong to and go to the Guide forum and check out the complete medal farming guide, it shows the different droprates for each kind of server.

Good luck!
Well i didn't see the "Complete Medal Farming Guide" but i looked at few of the medal guides.

From the intelligence i've been able to gather, server 028 would have been in the group where medals do drop from low level valleys. Any level 3 valley should have a decent chance, more than 1%, of dropping a rose.

Conditions on higher numbered servers were stated to be more like what I'm seeing on SS2, medals don't begin to drop until level 5 or above. One guide recommends farming level 9-10 valleys with details on how to do this effectively.

Therefore I think that my research shows the game mechanics may have been altered for Super Servers, they are not the same conditions as were prevalent on the servers they were merged from.

I was getting my info from a wiki guide which is clearly out of date, and didn't cover differences between servers.

And perhaps its true that more server merges are scheduled, all with updated game mechanics? So moving to another server may not be the answer.

The situation as it stands is clearly unfair to new players. to alter basic mechanics well after a game has progressed, whether or not the new player was well informed of what those game mechanics would be.

Recently a whole lotta people were banned for macroing, clearly this is against game rules and provides an unfair advantage. Therefore it appears that the folks at Evony have some interest in fair play. I think I still have a good reason to dispute my case, not just for myself but for all the new players joining game.
