Some really rare powerful items.
It took me 2 months to finally drop a high rune. It took me ages before a shako dropped. I only found 1 Deaths fsthom in 2 whole seasons.
Looks like uniques and sacred items are dropping out of every other chest in world t3-4 in d4.
This has become the highest concern for me above everything else including the ease of the game and the big dmg numbers.
If loot is dropping like a Greater rift boss then this game WILL have d3 lvls of longevity.
Items NEED to be rare. People want to find an item and be like “omg omg omg it dropped guys” instead of “yep just another unique no biggie”
Pray to Lillith this isnt the case

BY THE BLESSED DARK MOTHER! HYPERTROPHY! SNAP OUT OF IT, MAN! 
All the streamer stuff/content creator fluff/meta build buff-stuff … it’s all HYPE, MAN! All of it! They are showing you people who have virtually no life … playing at a level that most people won’t be able to do in months.
And Yes … those streamers did it in a few days/week or so … but that is ALL they did! We need to keep it into perspective.

Did you miss the memo? This is a d3 reskin, no trading of important items allowed. So we get these hyperinflated drop rates to “compensate”.

Please go play D2 then. This isn’t D2. This is a modern game. Most gamers work for a living and have lives outside of D2. I want to enjoy the experience - not spend an entire day with nothing dropping of any value for months. How boring.
However, you could keep farming for hordes of hours and try to tighten your stat line with a better version of your uniques. Seems fair.

2 months is a bit unlucky. shouldve been a 2 weeks deal, max.
They aren’t going to love you more for defending their mistakes.
This isn’t D2, and there isn’t open trading. Trade is what supports ultra rare drops. Blizz decided not to go that route, for better or for worse.
tl;dr drop rates are fine

It took me 17 years to find a SOJ. (to personally identify one from a drop that is.)
I’m pleased to say that chapter in my life is over.
Hi D4, pleased to meet you.

So you are happy with d3 like rate of drops?
The developers likely wanted the streamers to test out the dynamics of the game skills and gear interactions in order to see whether adjustments were needed (hence their announcement a day or so ago that they found that no major adjustments were needed at this pt).
Thus, they had PTR-like drop rates to facilitate that. So don’t go by what they were getting as drops because release will surely not see similar drop rates.

its okay, d4 will have its own loot for example

I hope so!!! I really hope so
Bro if you farm mephisto or baal for an actual 100 hours you’ll be decked out. Maybe not with rune word gear but you’ll have the items. The shako, the tals set, etc. The difference in D4 is that the items are specifically dropping for your class. That’s a big difference but there’s also no trading so it’s completely balanced. Chill on this crap
With trading I would have enigma and infinity in the first week of playing every ladder. It’s not that hard
Doesn’t really matter what I’m happy with. While I don’t think D4 reaches D3s drop rates, they’re obviously higher than D2. Somewhere in between. This is the design philosophy they’ve chosen and I highly doubt it’s gonna change since the entire game is built around it as it is.

The only ppl that had those items in week one were jsp dogs
Nope you just actually put in hours of farming instead of posing on the forums your RNG is bad… and then you trade high value items day one and day two and don’t keep them because the price is absurd compared to end of week
That shako drops day one? You don’t keep it
Bro. Palladins with enigma on day 3 were 100% JSP users. Not possible to be that lucky that early
Lmao okay. You just take advantage of the economy on the first few days and play hard. I do the same in WoW and always have enough gold to last the entire expansion. A shako on day one is worth 20 shakos after the first week
Stop acting like Diablo 2 is some hard game where you actually have to find the ber runes yourself. All you have to do is trade early and don’t keep your gear
In that regard, there’s no trading in D4 and the items are tailored to your class so it’s gonna be fine.
If everything was solo self found D2 style, no one would play it
Further into the season, that shako you found on day one or two can literally gear a whole account
