For two weeks now i have done Aberrus LFR on my palla alt and i won exactly zero rolls.
i thought there was a sort of bad luck protection in place if you keep getting lots of low rolls, it has only been since the last patch so i wondered if anything had changed or if i was just lucky on my main the first time around

For me the Vault and catalyst functioned as bad luck protection. My rolls are always low so I understand your pain

I wish there was some form of bad luck protection… 6 weeks now i’ve rolled on loot (mostly trinkets) and every time i have rolled a 13!! … now that’s bad luck!

Lose two rolls you should be guaranteed 3rd /s
That wouldn’t work though. If you had two or more people in the group that had lost two rolls, then those few would have to then compete … so just another roll on top of a roll.
Bad luck protection are the vault, crafting and the catalyst.
I thought WoW players enjoy loot casino and grinding the same content 200 times. Isn’t that why Diablo is popular?

Exactly !!!
i wouldn’t call the vault a Bl protection i mean its not like those who win rolls don’t get dropped from said vault, hell it could lead to them getting 2,3 or 4 pieces a week if they are really lucky

Personally i don’t see vault as bad luck protection… it rarely gives me anything useful. It’s usually the same items i already have equipped or a different variation of the item. Those who don’t have such bad luck also get vault loot. To use catalyst you first need the pieces to start with.
WoW’s always been that way though and i’ve always had bad luck. I think my dice are cursed - maybe too much dabbling with dark magic 
I’ve never played Diablo… WoW is the only game i play.

Diablo doesn’t have lockouts
WoW players like verticle grinds and tbh 90% of it is enjoyable however once u reach like 441 the last 6 ilevel are utter hell.
Imho vault currency should be to buy items.
Just base the rewards ilevel based on RIO like everything else,
1k - veteran.
2k - Champion
2.5k - hero.
Then for raids
Lfr - veteran
Normal - champion
Heroic - hero
Mythic - 447
Each week u can choose to take 10 of chosen currency based on content you do for either raid or M+, 30 is to buy a garunteed item from the loot pool uve chosen, thus way u know every 3rd vault minum u have a reward you want.
LFR is story mode, It is not meant to be used as a gear up system. There are so many ways to get Normal level loot in the game that are as simple as say 5 Heroic Dungeons.
If you do decide to do LFR the vault is the bad luck protection.

no it is not it is for casuals and alt to get better gear and as i said the vault is not Bl protection as it it provided to all who run raids.
Vault is designed to be a bad luck protection gear system most of the times. What you describe is exactly what my guildies that raidlogged complained about.
Right now doing just 8 16s reward you with 441 items you can upgrade to 447. Chances of 3 out of 3 be useless every week are really low. Obviously if you only do lfr you chances to get an upgrade are slim due to your ilvl. But if I still get upgrades at 444 equipped from vault then the only reason you don’t get is because you don’t play content.
Yes right now at my ilvl i agree it’s unlikley i would get anything useful from the vault doing just LFR (except crests and sockets) and that’s fine of course but you missunderstood my bad luck.
Well before my ilvl was what it is the vault would not give me good items. It had a habiit of giving me duplicates every week. For example i had three peices that were 424 and the rest 414 or lower… then it would pick the three 424’s to offer me. I’m not sure if it’s even bad luck or just a flaw in the new upgrade system. The 5 heroic weekly quest used to do the same thing and always give me the same neck piece every week, just a different variation of stats.
The higher crests and extra sockets from the vault are at least useful though so it’s not a total loss and the main reason i was even doing LFR was to try get trinkets becuase they kind lacked elsewhere.
Why is just because someone does not do M+ that they are aways told they “don’t play content” but someone who only does M+ or PvP does? I used to do them in the past but i gave up in DF as i don’t enjoy them as much… but that dones’t mean i don’t play content, i do many other things in game.
there is, but there is also protection for 24 other players besides you, so you are still out numbered
Since they changed to roll, it’s been significantly harder to get loot. I’d expect nothing at all from LFR personally. I won my first LFR loot last week, with my completely outdated character gear wise.
If you got loot until now, you’ve been extremely lucky. I really wish they add back personal loot for LFR. With that you can actually have bad luck protection. Because of my extremely bad luck after they removed personal loot, I need on everything I am allowed, sorry. I even deleted the weapon on my mage so that I would be allowed to need on the staff I wanted. I don’t play any other group content, so looks go above stats in my case. And I hate MH/OH combos.
Yes, let’s completely leave out the mogs from LFR(not saying OP care for those, but maybe).
I honestly could not care less about the ilvl on my gear when I don’t do any usefull group content. I’m all about the looks, and LFR provides that, different to the other difficulties even.
As i said, there are faster ways to earn reliable amounts of gear that is not LFR.
There is. Its called “keep playing week after week after week and when you finally get a drop it will be inferior to something you already got somewhere else. Isn’t the loot system brilliant??!! Keep subbing!”
sits back and watches the ilvl 430 roll 99 on a trinket I need and I as a level 415 roll 17
