Thanks so much Smack. These guys straightened me out on this issue. Lost some time in the game but right back into it Thanks again to everyone and to you guys, Smack and King
Here are the 3 drops I have so far. Level 1950-2300 opponents, I am 2150. Just to confirm what has been said already these are NEW ITEMS and are not stolen from your opponent in battle. Nobody is losing out. I even use one of the cars, so I guess there is some plus side
Did anyone ever get a list, or other way to tell if an item is a battle drop. I rarely look at the bottom of the screen, so I will miss those, most likely. Looks like the items with a bronze stippled background are battle drops, but how else can you tell? I keep up with my attack/defense, and try to make good decisions based on where to spend my energy, stamina for Boss drops, what gifts to request, etc., so it would be nice to know where the "Blade Helmet" or "Razor Hookstaff" came from, and if there is something I can do to get more.
