I think this was the biggest problem apart from the massive disappointment of getting a non max TF item with socket and extra stat.
Loot should just be:-
- Did the boss give me loot - yes/no
- Is it an item I can use - yes/no
Instead under the TF system it was:-
- Did the boss give me loot - yes/no
- Did it titanforge - yes/no
- Did it warforge - yes/no
- Did it have a socket - yes/no
- Did it have an extra stat - yes/no
- Is it an item I can use - yes/no
We had to constantly sim because there was no possible BiS with all the variables in ilvls stats and in particular sockets. You could go to a lower level raid and get a high TF and then never replace it, you could kill that boss on a higher difficulty and never get an upgrade.
It was literally just more make you play metrics to chase that TF gear. To get you to go back again and again. A carrot on a stick to keep people playing for as long as possible on a never ending treadmill.
I’m so glad it’s gone. Loot became such a letdown.
