I have killed Silken Court on heroic (week 2) and normal (week 1) since season start. I still don’t have the trinket.
I don’t mind strong dungeon trinket, cause you can grind them. I don’t mind pvp trinkets either, since you can deterministically buy them.
What I do mind is that raid trinkets with a significant gap to anything else, that is not farmable, and that is a rare drop. There is no bad luck protection in getting this trinket at all. Several of the weeks my groups saw none drop at all.
There are several ways to solve this, but the simplest is probably just “kill X amount of bosses to buy 1 deterministic item for that difficulty”. There should be no issue at all with people clearing heroic 4+ times being able to buy spymaster from a vendor in a deterministic manner.
Hope this wasn’t to ranty, and that this resonates with other players in the “no spymaster” club.
I think they should close the gap between the trinkets tbf. fair enough have a chase item from each pillar if they want as long as they are relitively close in power/performance.
I dont disagree with anything you said, i like the idea what they have done with BRD with the coffer keys (havent put into practise as items seem meh from what ive seen.)
Not sure if that would conflict with the GV from blizz’s stand point tho.
I think bosses should drop somekind of currency which allows you to buy trinkets. Not after release, maybe after 2-3 weeks once the tryhards done with the race.
I have been farming Grim Batol for Gale of Shadows, check my recent runs on raider io. I have litterally spammed it, I must have run it 20-30 times in a short space of time. But overalll, I ran it like 50 times. It is just rediculous, I have so many other things I could be doing in game but this is my lowest piece of gear. I am getting really angry, this is just stopping me from progressing… WHY THE HELL CAN IT NOT DROP FOR ME!!!
