as my title says … im surprised nobody is talking about this and make developers to get an eye on this too … after the goblin events were over, farming for one blood per 3 baneful hearts is super awful farming , not even motivional at all … why cant we have the same way we had on season 4`? everytime we donated baneful hearts, we got more bloods from it … i dont understand why they nerfed it down to just one when Torment Zir costs 27 bloods to summon up … mathematically doesnt add up …

I disagree on the need to buff the drop rate. I would rather just have the required mats drop down from 27 to 3. Saves both on inventory space and mat farming time.

they shoud make Beast in Ice and Zir be 5/15 (at he min) like the other torment bosses. 9/27 is really high…especially for Zir when blood is far harder to acquire.

All bosses should cost 1 ticket to ride and tormented versions 3 plus a stone. I much prefer a solution like this rather than boosting the drop rate. Also move those mats to the materials tab. Getting a stash full of steel because of this imbalance shows the flaws of the system.

Exquisite Blood just needs to drop from the chest of Mysteries at 5 per, and we are good.
actually thats even a better idea, a very good one, coz i spent almost 7 hours to farm just for one or 2 stacks of blood and jesus christ it gets boring lol and tedious
My solution is 1 generic token that can be used for all bosses, with a separate 1 token needed for Andy and Duriel. Keep the cost at 5 per boss, 4 for Andy and Duriel. Then just 15 and 12 respectively for their tormented versions with a Stygian stone.

It does add up when you consider how many players RMT their boss materials and gold.
But of course, Blizzard would rather not crack down on botters for some reason. It baffles me that the D4 team doesn’t prioritize detecting botting software and banning its users.
I agree with the sentiment here, but given the expansion is right around the corner, and the changes made to boss summon mat requirements (to be the same regardless of boss difficulty), my money is on blizz is unlikely to make a change right now.
Now you have me curious, just how many do you think are RMTing their materials?
You must be new to Blizzard games. There’s a system in place that flags your account if you use bots or engage in RMT activities and they catch you doing it. Then a ban waves happen typically every 3 months give or take, which wipes them all out. The issue isn’t that they don’t have bot detecting software, the issue is that the damage is already done by the time these bots are banned.
Just let us exchange distilled fear, exquisite blood, living steel, and malignant hearts for each other one for one.
And adjust the number for each tormented summons to be the same. I would be fine with 15 mats for a summons. 27 is just way too much.

Yea I agree with that. Running 5 NMD to get beast in the ice runs seems like a good ratio.
Ubers/torment should also not be 27. Normal ones just one item, uber/torment 3 of the items.
15 Mats for any Tormented Boss seems reasonable to me. Combine that with regular Goblin events similar to the one we just had and Blood or Fear is not a problem any more. I still have plenty of both in my stash from the event.
You can also randomly get Blood or Fear doing Whispers but the activity is not as fun to do now without the Goblins.
I’ve talked about this several times since Uber bosses became a thing.
Exquisite Blood is far too rare, and there’s too few ways to acquire it in comparison.
I loved the goblin event because it actually allowed me to stockpile Blood. Not more than any other mat, but it was no longer in last place by several stacks.
Can we also add Stygian Stone? Farming for it has been a pain for me. Or is it just me not being favored by RNG?
Agree on reducing mat costs.
Infernal Hordes… I believe tier 6 and up… are now the best place for these.
No judgement, I had no idea either until I started spamming these and was flabbergasted by the amount of gold, masterworking mats, and stygians that came at me.
Just another example of their utter inability to balance ANY aspect of this game.

Yeah, I did five T7 runs yesterday and got two, haha! I just consoled myself that two is better than nothing. 
Either give another source for it or drop the requirements.
