Not to mention it takes all the FUN out of getting loot, its not loot anymore its a gaurenteed specific item, you might as well just take all the stats away and say, ok week one you get a hat, week 2 a shoulder, in 10 weeks your toon looks nice yay! you are missing the point completely, this game is about the Random chance of winning something amazing, about killing that dragon and hoping against hope that those bracers with the +10 to dragonslaying are there, then going again next week cause they weren't, and you need it to get BIS.
the way the system works now you have a chance to get no loot at all, and at the same time a chance to not only get 1 item but 2 from every single boss you kill, on a string of AMAZING RNG you could get 26 pieces of loot in one week! how AWESOME would that be? when normally you might get 1 or 2 right now, my best week so far has been 7, but alot of that was sharded.
the whole "buying your gear" thing is just stupid to me, it takes the fun out of killing the boss, i mean with your system, why even have bosses at all, just make it so if you log into the game once a week for 15 weeks your BIS...
