With these drop rates I could run mythic+ daily for the next year and never get a single weapon drop. So apparentlty someone at Blizzard thought that players would love to replace the Legion-daries with an RNG nightmare of weapon drop rates under 1%. Please fire that person. This is absolutely insane.
It has always been a part of this game even since classic, if you dont believe me then go check it out by yourself. legion was worst if you ask me , you had 3x relics on each wep spec , I pref getting wep instead of getting weak relic that will be vendored , atleast if we get good ilvl wep we use it , no matter the stat.

This.
Also trinkets were much worse.
Some people seem to have forgot the stories about Gruul’s Spine and Leotheras Tsunami Talisman in TBC.

Evidently, the weekly chest will give you about 6 different items to choose from, so one of them should probably be a weapon.

Please learn what you’re talking about.
Let’s look at some random dungeon drops from Classic.
Mastersmith’s Hammer: 25%
Can you tell me a single weapon in BFA that drops 25% of the time?
Let’s look at some BFA drop rates.
Bloody Tideturner: 1.4%
Warglaive of the Sand Queen: 0.6%
Now let’s look at a Classic drop that was exceptionally rare, and considered BIS for multiple classes.
Dal’Rend’s Sacred Charge: 4%
I hope you can do basic math and figure out the difference between 1% and 4%.

The weekly box and maybe other sources will give you a list of items to choose from. So even if weapons are a fraction of loot tables of all dungeons - with such list it’s way more likely to get one or more.
And yes, people farming one dungeon for a trinket or something are a thing and quietly it’s a blizzard mechanic to keep you in game.
And I have extreme doubts that Blizzard will add weapons to the weekly chest. That’s how they operate these days. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Im not learning, cuz Im already doing it , check wowhead about Perdition’s blade drop chance on classic wow , Highest wep drop chance from raggy, guess what 0 drops so far? and we got like the lowest drop chance wep. Bonereaver’s Edge dropped 3 times in a row.
It has never been about math derp , please have a brain , either you’re lucky or not lucky with weapons I have been playing since TBC and I know how loot works.
Why would they REMOVE weapons from the weekly? Anything that can drop in M+ is in M+ box simple and nothing indicates a change.
In BfA I also run with WW/BRM loot spec as healer with having basic +10 agi weapons and I helped few guild DPS gear out 
If you look deep there are options to use.
Um how about you take a look at Ragnaros’ loot table and see how many weapons can drop. There’s not a single dungeon in BFA that offers those kinds of chances at getting weapon drop.
Lets no change the subject about what weps can drop or from where , you talked about the drop chance.
If you think they’re going to let you select a weapon upgrade each week then you’re very naive and being taken for a ride. Ion does NOT want players to have easy access to weapons. He wants players to keep running mythic+ daily for YEARS and praying for getting a single weapon drop someday.
Why would you need upgrade every week? The system is supposed to be bit smart to not suggest items for slots that are already high/whatever. M+ season is many weeks and it’s expected to get upgrades gradually.
If you want to see in negative it will be negative Low drop rate affects everyone, not only you (aside that other guy that was supper lucky with RNG casino ;)).
In Legion, you had to get 3 relics which increased both the weapon’s ilvl (therefore stats), but also boosted certain traits.
That meant you not only needed 3 relics of the different types for your different specs, you also had to look for the ones with the bonus you want.
Let’s not forget the relics were also subject to Titanforging and later also provided the actually random bonuses via the Nether Crucible.
How is that a “friendlier” system to a simple weapon drop?
Was the same pre-legion. Always was. took me weeks to get a heroic weapon drop at WoD launch.

Well said. Legion weapon optimization was a nightmare with traits, alignment and titanforging.
then cancel your sub.
This game is, WAS and will be RNG based to a degree.
the problem never was the RNG part. It always was about RNG on top of RNG on top of RNG.
If you can’t deal with not getting the weapon you want during week one, then leave. And hopefully by that time, we’ll be done with your daily spam on the forums as well.
I’m cancelling
Ok

Ah I found the Blizzard fanboy. The problem is that it takes HUNDREDS of mythic+ runs to get perhaps ONE SINGLE weapon drop. If you don’t see the problem with that, then no one can help you.
