Rares has only gotten worse and worse. To much shit to make them spwan, to many rewards with very low drop % and bad spwan rate...
Also fuck covenant locked items...I cant even grind for the items without lvling alts as it is now then...

It consumes more of your time for essentially the same reward. The old system is most certainly better until they made all old world places shared. I would have TLPD right now without wasting days on end trying to get it.
Also if you're going to lie about the odds as most, if not all were pretty much guaranteed drops, don't try and act like you're debating. You wanna talk about unknown odds it would be the 1-4% chance or lower of the ones these days. You know how many kills some people have for raid mount drops or even gear xmog? The amount of time being invested now is far greater than the time invested previously. Yes you are tricking yourself.

I mean look at these people in this thread saying "Oh but look you can waste 10 minutes a day for months on end and it's totally a better system because of reasons"
I've never seen FP criticize the game until now, it was a joke buddy, chill out. All Blizzard cares about is you staying subbed. If you are so obsessed with collecting that you continue to do grinds that aren't fun, I'd call that a player problem. I've been a collector since TBC, and the minute something doesn't seem "fun" anymore I don't do it anymore.
9.1 doesn't seem to be looking any better right now. Lots of rare stuff indicated.
Remember, Blizzard doesn't change direction in X.1 patches. These are the patches where they quickly bandaid major problems with the expansion's release, because X.1 is in development even before X.0 ships. Direction changes always come in X.2.
Then, the cycle begins anew!

You're mistaken. For azerite, 8.1 added the 5th ring of Azerite powers and the titan residium vendor. This was a classic X.1 band-aid. It helped, but the real fix came in 8.2 with neck essences.
For islands, another bandaid. 8.1 tied rewards to every mob on the island rather than just those your group actually kills. Again this helped, but didn't fix the problem-- islands were never actually fixed, even in 8.2. Like warfronts, most players found them inherently un-fun.
if you ask me, they should make the Rare mobs... more difficult and give them more interesting abitlies.
The Drops are ok, nothing bad with making things rare and exclusive if you ask me

I dont farm rares but i do think OP has a point.
Personally though, i really liked MoP rares because they werent actually up all the time, and thwy actually had mechanics, sometimes forcing extra pulls if you didn't clear them or varied fear/telegraphed dodge effects which made it an interesting and not trivial encounter.
I miss semi challenging outdoors.
the threats you faced 15 years ago aren't threats anymore.
btw you've gotten a lot smarter too
Whether the world's greatest gnats, or the world's greats heroes, you're still only mortal!
What's the difference between having to kill something every day vs having to check every day if something is up and then killing it? Same thing, really.
I enjoyed farming rares in every single expansion, from Vanilla to Shadowlands.
