Blizzard has confirmed the existing drops every time.

You are spitting out a lot of absolutes with no proof. You dont know drop rates and you dont know how many have dropped so far.
I can think about it for a min or for an hour and it won’t matter. It’s a number someone pulled out of thin air with no basis in fact.
So if you played 24/7 every day… you’d probably see one in… 3500 years.
It took 276 million hours played to get the first shako drop.
That’s 31,506 years of play time.
Blizzard has confirmed each of the 6 unique drops. As far as I recall, they confirmed 2 shakos and 1 doombringer and 1 andys.

I think it was mentioned only 5% of Diablo players are currently at level 85+
Try 32,000 years, literally.
ya kinda making me wanna go on a Baal run ma dude 
Where is that about how many have dropped so far? Cant see that on twitter or the forums.
This was a hypothetical assuming that the OP’s numbers were correct. This would be the absolute best case scenario and it is very likely way worse. If the absolute best case scenario is still assuming 7.5 years of playing 24 hours a day the actual number doesn’t need to be worse to know there’s a problem.
Yeah, you’re right. I still have my closed Bnet accounts from LOD with legitimate, non-duped 1.08 uniques; I have to update the accounts every Sunday, and I’ve done it for decades, .
You indeed could find a lot of those items in LoD doing Worldstone runs with Baal and his minions, the Pit, super uniques in A5, etc. If I recall correctly, Stormspire and the Constricting Ring were the rarest items until 1.10, and the Constricting Ring never even dropped, perhaps except once from Baal.
They’re confirmed on twitter by different devs. Wowhead has articles on them I believe that link to the confirmations.
I mean, I was assuming 100 million hours at 85+ for 3 uniques, so ~33 million per drop. I don’t think you can include the 200+ million hours for the first shako since we now know they only drop after 85.
Either way… its an absolutely insane drop rate. That just can’t possibly be intentional.
Like… I can’t think of any item in any game ever with that low a drop rate. Like… literally in the history of gaming.
Tyraels was like 1 in 3 million? Grandfather would have to be upwards of 1 in a billion at this point…

Yeah that’s fair.
Don’t forget though, that’s just to get one of six. If you want a specific one, multiply that by at least 6.
0 grandfathers so far.

I think the point is, they may as well not exist. Its just all bait from the devs for players to keep farming at this point in time.

Runewords are going to be fantastic if they will exist and will be so beautiful and all the envy of the realm. 
The only one confirmed on twitter and wowhead showing up is the shaco drop because someone saw it on the guy on youtube and asked the dev if the uniques were actually in game yet. Nothing showing up for doombringer or grandfather confirmations. You really think they are going to sit and confirm every time a rare drops?
I found a few reddit post that say they have had doombringer drop, does that count? lol
I don’t get why people are so hellbent on defending an impossibly low drop-rate.
You do understand that it means you won’t get that item, do you? It’s not a "maybe I’ll be special" type of thing, probabilities are what it is: you are absolutely extremely unlikely to EVER get one of these items if the drop rates remain. So what is even the point of having these items in the game? They may as well not exist.
So looking at the other side, what if these items are “slightly” less rare. Then it means you have a chance to get that item, and so do other people here. Why is that bad? Does that worsen your gameplay experience in any fashion? No? So why being so happy gatekeeping?
PS: By “extremely unlikely” I meant that you are more likely to die tomorrow then to find any of these items. Sounds great doesn’t it?

It’s literally a waste of any development capacity.
