Is this some Castle Nathria shit where we have to wait another month or two till they up the drops for that raid? Anyone else experiencing this at all? I’m finding this very frustrating to actually want to go and raid.

    Thanks.
    the irony when i got 2 bis for aoe trinkets from raid yesterday in 1 evening.

    its rng . play with stable team and in couple of week you will be trading 90% of gear.

    This is what people wanted.

    Everyone was bitching about abundant, warforged loot. So now enjoy the rare, unique ones. If you get em.

    This is the side effect of "let loot be loot". Less loot has to drop or else you'll be fully geared in 2-3 weeks.

    You guys asked for this.

    Still a better choice.

That's when raiding is really fun.
    Why would you do that unless your guild is a casual pugging guild anyway? You bring irl friends when contents on farm and you're sitting people who can't be arsed to raid.

    *Hands up* I didn't. Will they change it back for just me?

    That literally still happened under master loot. I suppose less likely in classic due to raid size, but there was plenty of times in TBC - MoP where I saw a bad player get loot because surprise surprise the gear that dropped was for his class and no one else (or the guildy that used the game gear already had it).

    That's not even getting into ML's who played favorites, though admittedly I saw that far less than RNG favoring the worst player.

    To iterate on my idea earlier in the thread --

    The removal of ML had nothing to do with "GM tickets" or "bad GMs" or even shitty Loot Councils. It's the fact that the existence of ML necessitated split runs from middle-of-the-road CE guilds and Blizzard wanted to curb their popularity. They effectively made it so that guilds can still do splits but they're far less impactful and there's a much lower burden on lower ranked guilds from feeling compelled to do splits. Personally, I never understood Blizzard's distaste for split runs but it strikes me as a bit less than coincidental that the expansion after Ion went on record asking the community how to curb split raids and the community overwhelmingly provided feedback that forced PL is the way... that forced PL came shortly thereafter.

    The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.

    Or, you know, maybe you're just unlucky, like everyone is from time to time in WoW.
    WoW players are all trash? M+ leavers? Pug raid fails? You don't have stuff to do? WoW has become a solo player game for you? People don't talk anymore? Everyone's toxic? I have a simple solution, just for you!
    Get social. Join a guild.

    Wait... Are you seriously taking "stats" outta your ass to back up your claim that old and outdated version of wow is in any way better than retail? That's pretty sad and hilarious at same time.

    In a vacuum, THE grind being gear isn't bad and loot scarcity creates that grind. It's certainly better than grinding AP or essences, etc. Unfortunately, covenants and conduits have also become necessary in the grind and in some cases are way more time gated.

    I wouldn't mind the loot scarcity from raids if that was the only thing holding back player progression but devs once again missed the mark with multiple systems that just demand too much, especially if you have interest in alts at all.

    Not really. That's what "Master Looter" was for.

    Basically this.

    Elitists wanted loot to be "meaningful" again, and this is what we got. The funny thing? Raid loot already had an increase in drop rate in nathria, what you see in SoD is a buffed up loot drops in SL.

    Let's let loot be loot!

    ...except that with low drop rates that makes RNG swings more brutal than ever. But hey, GREAT VAULT amirite?!
