thanks for the lfr drop rate increase

[Icaras]

The drop rate is increased, that doesn't mean loot is guaranteed. I've only had the chance to run one LFR wing on my main alt (monk) nad got shoulders I already had and didn't need. Aggravating but...well, its aggravating.

[ckpschafer]

I got 8 pieces from 1 LFR ToES on my druid. (with elder tokens of course, had like 15 of them from that scenario lol)
Drop rate def is better but i guess some people got unlucky

[Kiqjaq]

That and you're a liar.

You really think someone would do that?
Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Lies? On the internet? That totaly ruined my day.. I'm starting to think there ain't no single ladies in my area looking for fun anymore : /

I've got loads of drops since 5.2 for my Druids OS, not ran it on alts yet until I get more Charms on them through running the solo scenario.

I've gotten 2 items in lfr so far, and I've only done Heart of Fear

[Oceanburn]

I guess if people used the previous LFR loot system they way they were supposed to then the game wouldn't change it to completely random. But i also guess that would be too much to ask for ... i can't remember how many times a feral dps needed on the int neckless on morchok and won it...

That's about 8 resets. Said person would've to be incredibly unlucky for that to happen. Basically the chance for that to happen is 1.08372338E-16% so all in all nigh impossible for that to happen. The one who doesn't understand percentages seems to be you.

Yet the nigh impossible has happened to me. Before shared mounts I decided to take my alts to Strat and SH for the barons mount and the raven lord mount. Out of 10 alts I got 8 Reins of the Raven lord, and 7 Deathcharger's Reins on my first runs. I nearly shit my pants. My roommate nearly punched me in the face since he had been farming those mounts on 1 character for years and I got 15 in 1 week. So it could happen that you no items with a 99% drop rate. Improbable but possible.

With respect to T14 LFR, before 5.2 my 3 LFR capable alts all of them had at least 10 LFR items equipped by the time 5.2 dropped. That is actually more raid items than my main raider has. We have not seen any Pally, priest, lock tokens drop. There has been no int shield drop, there has been no int plate drop, no int weapon without hit has dropped, The only items my healer has gotten are two rings and two trinkets, plus what ever valor items I have purchased. Yesterday after the patch I ran LFR on my healer and picked up all 5 Tier tokens, a shield and a the sha touched mace without coins. So I would say the drop rates are definitely increased.

LFR is not slower than real raiding in terms of gearing up. LFR is not faster. Over all it is the same. Some people have bad luck and complain very loudly, some have good luck and shout it loudly, the vast majority get their 1-2 items out of 5 LFRs per week and say nothing.

[IngoDent]

Did all LFR's on my paladin this week. 16 bosses, 7 items. 2 of which I wanted quite badly.
Kri'tak, Imperial Scepter Of The Swarm
T14 shoulders
T14 head (offspec)
T14 gloves (offspec)
Signet of the Profane
Spirits Of The Sun
Healing mace from Will of the Emperor, vendor'd because I'd already gotten Kritak!

Seems your luck is just bad Or mine is just good

I had 3 drops yesterday. :3
Only did the first 2 lfrs.

[mosely]

ITT: People who still don't understand what 'random drop chance' means.

Items could have a 99% chance to drop and you'd still have someone get nothing for 2 months in a row.

You probably wouldn't see anyone else chime in with similar experiences though.

[Myzou]

Tripling the drop rate of 1% is still only 3%.

And still is more of a chance than 1% + coin 1%.

They're sneaky like that.

[Thyranne]

Not as bad as my druid:

The week before 5.2 I killed Elegon and got the leather chest, used my coin and got...the same leather chest. Yesterday I killed him again, and got the leather chest again, used my coin and got my 4th leather chest!

But to be honest, last week I ran HoF 2nd part and ToES and got all 5 tier tokens in the same day

[Deleted]

I ran Throne RF on my newest 90 today, got an epic from every boss except Lei Shi. The lesson here?

Random loot is random.

Throne RF is not even available yet, what is you trying to say here?

[Deleted]

Spent 14 elder charms on Shek'Zeer/Lei'Shi since 5.2 was released, still no sha-touched weapon - bad luck is bad :<

[Korru]

From a recent blue post:

Our developers are aware of and looking at ways to address outlier cases in Raid Finder where even a greatly increased chance to drop isn't enough.

What do you guys think?

[mysticx]

Throne RF is not even available yet, what is you trying to say here?

That he got ToES and Throne mixed up, and that Lei Shi is an ever-hateful piece of work :P

[Kaneiac]

I got loot from every boss in Terrace and the 2nd half of Heart of Fear. Granted, it was shit that I already had, but that's a gigantic step up.

[slime]

Oh cool, super easy lfr content wasn't enough - guarenteed loot too! This is a step in the same direction (not saying it is right or wrong) but at least Blizz isn't flip flopping here.

Anyone else wonder for a second why the cursor wasn't moving before they realised they weren't on wow? XD
