The cartel vendor would have better if

Ok hear me out, if we ignore the fact that as a dinar system it has been a complete failure, it could be salvaged as an “decent” bad luck protection, and I mean:

  • It unlocks either on the x.y.5 or x.y.7 patches
  • Contains raid/m+ weapon, trinkets, jewelry, rare items from veteran, champion, hero, myth tracks.
  • To unlock said item at an ilvl you would have needed to either: kill the specific boss on normal/lfr/hc/mythic difficulty 2 times (in case of raid items), or time all +4/+7/+10/+12 dungeons (in case of m+ items)
  • To buy a specific item you need 12 tokens of merits. A time gated resource that already exists, it is tied to the great vault, and becomes almost useless as the season nears its end.

Just to clarify this is NOT about dinars, dinars were way better at fated seasons.

This is about what blizzard tried to implement as a bad luck protection system, which frankly would be nice to have, just not as it is currently in game.

nah

you have vault - only element missing there is talking to NPC and naming what you are after i.e. weapon, shoulders, ring, trinket etc and getting higher chances/guarantee that you will get more weapons etc. and from what source (Raid, PvP, Mythic+) and since we know what is BiS for each class and specc then it shouldn’t be hard to get BiS item from there and add House of Cards trinket for example as desired trinket for all mastery based class.
