500hrs - 1 4GA
Amazing stuff Blizz. Zero incentive to play
Paragon 285
2255 Pit runs
257 hours played this season.
I won a 4GA mythic helm while gambling for gloves.
I was able to gather the runes for crafting a mythic once.
I am only wearing three Ancestrals, and I canāt max the aspects for two of them.
Either give us the mythics, or give us the runes, but denying both AND aspects is just mean spirited.

After hitting pARAGORN 
lvl 300 i played a rogue and did hoursā¦ days of helltides and did not see a single Ancestral Legendary item.
But when i do lots of pit runs i get 1-3 GA items** that are filling my treasure chest. From what my first char (SB) got from grinding pits to lvl 300 i was able to try out 2 different SB build with bis gear and outfit my rogue completely with bis items too.
But loot at helltides? hahaha ā 
** keep in mind i have many pit runs w/o seing any anc. legs. its just the sheer amount i do that is filling my bags.
I honestly am a firm believer that the ancestral drop rates never really changed from what they used to be. I think what people are experiencing, is the removal of Legendary gear from Uber Bosses, which is a very very large hit to the legendary loot pool.
If you think about it, the Hordes chest drops pretty much the same ancestral rate as it used toā¦ People are so used to having the inventory full of legendaries, I can almost guarantee our previous seasons āfeltā easier because of the Uber Bossesā¦
Iām not sure how to feel about the ancestral problem. I think itās fine where itās at

Theyāre still full of legendaries, itās just now standard legendaries are the relative equivalent of a white item.

Do:
Pits
Horde 6 waves
Whisper caches for ancestral tributes
And you will be drowning in GA items.
Items drops are fine. The end.
I am indeed drowning in 1 GA max life or intelligence items, with mid range aspects.
Items drops are crap, both quantity and quality.

They donāt want us to run out of things to do. Which means we get a long boring frustrating hopeless grind as our endgame.

His experience is very similar to mine.

Well this is at least one area of good news. they have announced significant increase in baseline drop rate and also added ancestral caches to whisper rewards. Is it enough? weāll find out the week of 12/3 
Maybe ill have a few more GAs and max aspects to tool around on my wet noodle flinger (err i mean sorceress)
Lets hope the change helps because iām over the current Tradeablo 4 direction of the gameā¦

indeed when 3/4 of max gold is considered a āGood priceā for a 1 GA item you know something aināt right
Funny that isnāt it - as if totally random would invariably do that despite it being acknowledged and pretty obvious that drop rates can be adjusted (āweāre going to increase the drops for ancestralsā - gee, I thought it was all RNG, how would you possibly do that?).
Just like how D3 would have a bunch of garbage drops to dilute the loot pool and the game trolls you with these constantly, and then when they make garbage items GG, theyāre nowhere to be seen.
