Why is it impossible to get nice gear?

As bilibobc said above - It often IS “LTP”.
I hate it though

I posted this in response in a different thread… I think i thought I was posting in this one.
Anyway this topic was on my mind when writing - so I kind of blasted myself:

Teleport kills the game

There’s a mindset I’m guilty of and I think many players might just be affected by it from time to time - If it happened once, we develop an expectation that it will happen again.
I tele into a house in Blood Moor on the way to a TZ Den - no chest, just a bed - click and Vex. From a Bed.

I then create a False sense of Expectation: Does that mean I SHOULD click every single breakable, lootable etc because I got a Vex from a Bed? Or a Soj from a random chest in Durrance 2 3 years ago? We all know that’s super inefficient.
Should I clear all the Carvers in Cata 4 because one of them dropped a Vex, again, 3 years ago?

I know I’m probably one of the most inefficient players around. I’m “good” at the game, but terrible at the following the “Loot Hunt Protocols”!
I kill large packs of trash all the time, I click(well Telekinesis …I abstain when playing non Sorc, mostly.) lots of objects and so on.

Is it “Wrong”? No. It’s just my foolishness for playing this way.

Do I have a right to complain? Yep! BUT - I DO have a terribly unstable foundation upon which to BUILD my complaint if I’m pushing the needle to the extreme opposite of what’s actually, factually tried and true Loot Finding techniques.

So when I analyze the “problem” and do some honest introspection:
The problem is with Me, not the game.
Yes the drop %'s are pretty brutal, but my methods and techniques are not only worse - but compounding a bad situation even more.

That’s what players should ask themselves(as well as doing some research, inquiring for tips and tricks etc)prior to saying the roof is on fire and drops/game is broken.
