Loot rules and "Bad Luck"

Been trying to get a plate chest piece for a while now, it drops only in UR and NL. So I spam and spam and spam…when it drops it drops on someone that doesnt need it, and can’t trade it. What’s with these stupid loot rules, just let people trade whenever they want.

I keep getting the same stuff, I got a stash of shields and wrists now. When does that stop? And I dont expect something to drop straight away, but this is rediculous. There’s loot every 3 dungeons, the rest is gold.

I thought there was some bad luck thing built in to the game, or that’s not there any more?

It appears it’s working.

This is a development decision due high raiding guilds gearing individual toons, where they would “encourage” players to give up the loot therefore you cannot trade if the item is an upgrade to your slot.

The system is stupid regardless of how MVP’s like Saneko will try to paint it. Ive cleared the new raid hc every week 8/9 and all i have had is a heroic tier piece, that was passed to me from a friend who actually got the drop but did not need. Kinda pathetic a player can clear in excess of 50 bosses and get nothing. The vault is a joke as well not a single week i have ever had a good item in the vault, some players are getting bis hc raid trinkets, Sarks cloak etc. My choices normally consist of odds and sods like bracers. Its a disgrace really

The loot system in lagonflight is truly disgustingly bad in every way possible.

Its either deliberate or incompetence and its difficult to work out which it is :frowning:

how come my unholy dk can roll on 1h weapons and tank trinkets?

Is that also protecting us players from being forced to trade gear we don’t want to high raiding guilders lol?

And I was clearing heroic on my pala every week, doing no M+ and got 436 ilvl… gg wp

perfectly balanced

You can craft a chest if its just ilevel you’re after. The solutions are available.

That makes 0 point what so ever, So if thats supposed to be some smart comment its just ridiculous. 436 is not a high ilvl and also i highly doubt your itemisation is any good at that. Or is that a gloat that you get loot and i dont? What is your point?

I think his point is that as he got lucky, the system is fine lol.

it;s literally max you can get doing only hc raiding and no M+. well 437 but obviously you wont get it every slot so use some brain

No its not, why dont you use your brain.

Again what point are you making? That you got lucky and probablly took loads of items that arent even good for your class/spec but that means the game is fine? Are you one of those nubs who chooses 3 item levels over itemisation im guessing?

you can upgrade items to 437 with heroic crests, not 441 that require mythic raid or M+. so you wont hit 440 with heroic gear only

The cloak and a trinket both drop at 444, enough to push you higher than 437.

Deliberate. The odds at base is about the same as Personal, so there is about a coin-toss for you to get the one piece of gear you explicitly want out of 12 runs… Which not surprisingly is about 3 months of subscription. And that is for a coin-toss.

Dunno about “rare” raid loot but that is probably significantly worse.

maybe, but its 1- unreal luck required 2 - barely 437 so when i applied to an M+ grp last qweek with 0 rio ppl kept asking me how tf i got the ilvl with no M+ done ;U

Aye but even at that your point literally is, you cleared heroic a bit and got everything you could need from there so fk the rest of us?

I just don’t believe in the sobby stories of doing full runs every week and getting 0 loot ever xD I play 2 chars, both geared from heroic well and I just don’t believe that SO MANY PEOPLE have horrible luck.sure, there is a bell curve where some people might be less lucky but it’s just… not. what do you want? guaranteed loot? sure, bring back dinars. But statistically you should get enough loot from playing the game.

Its a bold statement to now claim we are liars for a start and thats exactly what

that statement says.

And its clearly not statistically happening that people are complaining about it is it? Or i suppose we are just liars are we? Go for it tell me which bits of loot i got from all those heroic kills. Thats 35 kills as it stands. Go for it prove me wrong. Ignorant af

This is simply not true.

Take lfr for example, you roll week after week on a certain item if it actually drops. All you need is the other 24 people to have more luck than you each time.
