LEGION Tier only drops as items and not Tokens accordign to gamescom Q&A

This was posted on reddit.

If 2 rogue gloves drop and you have 0 rogues, they will be vendored. Unlike in WoD if you have no rogues, DK's Mages and Druids can still use them.


Ok this the reddit post is FALSE:

Tier Tokens are still there for ML.

Wow devs just tweeted

So its only item drops for PL.

The actual "Proof" for this is garbage, its people reading into things that were said by people who said they had no clue

I'm actually kinda okay with this. The last time I was meaningfully invested in raiding outside hitting it up to see the environment, catch the story, and get a nice set of shinies to wear, tier items dropped as themselves anyway, and ideally they'll put in bad-luck protection to reduce the chances of bosses dropping tier items for classes you don't have in the raid (but not a 100% protection so you don't get raids class-stacking to quickly gear up an alt/new recruit by abusing the personal loot trading system).

At least in theory; in practice this might be a gigantic pain in the ass and end up seeing tokens brought back in the next tier if it doesn't work out well.

its extreamly unlikley it will drop peices no one has... so if you have dks, mages and druids it will choose one of those, but if you have none then it will be random...

So if the 2 druids in the raid already have the specific tier piece, the guild should bench them to avoid useless set drop. Sounds amazing.

If anyone can find the VOD, I 'll post it in the OP. I am P sure Chaud will.

still the same with personal loot

and yes this has allways been a thing, if you had fully geared people, and had people who wernt geared you would bring them in for the chance of gear, for example, in wrath all our people who could use deathbringers will had it, so some of our guys would sit out, just to let somone come in and get another one for somone

Right. Thats like the the most ignorant thing i've heard today.

he's right tho, only scrubs use personal in progression.

Really bad change. Like 3 steps backwards with the whole loot system, on top of all the new RNG.

[glowpipe]

Bring atleast one of every class. Problem solved.

[Averrix]

I'm glad they are going back to this way. I guess they figured with no weapon drops of any kind, they need to make up for the loot drop somehow.

Cleared mythic within 3 months.

We are planning on doing personal loot.

I'm sure thats very casual for someone like you in Method. But i can assure you we are well above 50%

drop 4-5 clases entirely, use personal loot. trade. problem even more solved.

You've never used it before this retard change, my point still stands, also I don't believe you anyway.

There are 6 slots now for tier which helps. It's interesting because the token system did encourage arbitrarily required setups. Eg, can't run a 10m raid with priests, DH, pallies and locks because for some reason they are all on Conq.

[snackfeat]

The reason for this seem to be that you don't know if a piece is gonna be warforged/socket before you use the token. Why not just have the warforged/socket bonus show up on the token itself?

[Reick]

This is another perfect example of Blizzard inconstancy and lazyness over the years. Tokens came into the game to solve some problems about loots (mainly : loots waste).
The motivation behind this change seems to be : "Like this people will know if it a war/titan-forged piece".

To that, i would simply ask : why not make the application (of war/titan-forged) on the token instead of the loot ? Yeah, it ask some programmation works but at least, half of them won't be put on garbage right away.

Is blizzard too lazy about it? If the hidden goal is to priorize personnal loot over master loot, just remove master loot from the game and that's it. People will complain no matter what but this way, you're less hypocritical.

They are going to implement this change and people will heavily complain about the SAME problem than during classic. Then, they will re implement token 1 tier further with the war/titan-forged on the token.

Just put your programmers at work and spare us month of rage/complain, thx you very much.
