These low weapon drop rates might be illegal

There is a difference between a lootbox with a small chance of skins/currency/etc that you pay REAL MONEY FOR , and a weekly chest that will give you an item that you DONT PAY REAL MONEY FOR .

Correct, you’re indirectly paying with MONEY for a time-gated lootbox with absurdly low drop rates. The low drop rates is intended to keep players subscribed for as long as possible in the hopes that one day that lootbox will contain a weapon. Since minors are playing this game and lootbox gambling is illegal in many countries a court might see this for what it is. Besides that, the fact that some of you fanboys are defending this corporate exploitation of customers is sick.

I wasn’t aware the weekly chest was literally the only source of weapons in this game.

If you’re trying to suggest the warglaive drops nearly 10% of the time as a DH you clearly have double digit IQ. Reports of hundreds of runs and no drop. I and many others have never seen any weapon drop for anybody in mythic+ EVER. And it’s not just the warglaive, pretty much every weapon has a drop rate around 1%. BECAUSE THE DROP RATE IS CALCULATED FOR THE WHOLE GROUP. Wowhead gives the ring a drop rate of 10%, so according to your logic it must have an actual drop rate of 120%??? I’m sure you’ll now try to claim that only one class can use one-handed swords. Lmao this forum sometimes.

Didnt you make this post last week or am I just having a deja vu moment

If you don't fix weapon drop rates in Shadowlands I'm cancelling

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.

Not even a whole week…

The calculation goes wrong. In m+ you have certain amounts of loot depending on the height of the key and timing it. While indeed weapons have a lower drop chance, it is not as low as 1%. Since we play a good amount of M+ and also a bit heigher we get more loot and so we get also weapons.

For example; timing a +2 gives 3 items to the group. Certain 3 items. There is no chance in there.

I pity your parents. What a disappointment.

If DHs account to around 8% of the census. And given a 50% chance on loot, since there’s around 10 items on the loot table for DHs… What number do you get?

You have 7 runs on TD. Tough luck maybe, though still very much in the ballpark.

Took me 27 runs back in Wotlk to get a tanking weapon in UP HC (once a day), on a weapon, with no shared loot, which had a 26% drop chance. Happens. Get over it

… gambling … turn the game into a RNG slot machine to keep people subscribed as long as possible with weapon drop rates under 1% …

This argument comes up every now and again.

The typical counter-argument is that you pay for the game, the drops are just extra.

A counter-counter-argument is that while gambling, you pay for the dice getting rolled, and the company of people surrounding you, and the place at the desk.

It’s better to say that 1% sucks (heck, there are people who failed seasonal mounts over several years despite really trying), in fact any time-gated RNG does. Diablo 3 works because you get 3-10 legendaries every 5-10 minutes depending on your difficulty and skill, and you aren’t limited to a single grift per week. (Imagine that!)

I’m mostly a fan of a combination of token & random, in that you can buy absolutely all items with a fairly high number of tokens. You can add Kadala to the mix to those who like gambling.
