If a character has the cloak I feel like you should have a guaranteed chance to get corruption on an item. Not only would this feel better as it eliminates a level of rng from the double layer of rng in corruption (While the other level of rng is still quite large at 50+ different corruptions/levels) It would allow for players to experiment more with different corruptions because they are actually able to get corrupted items in the first place. If all pvp and pve gear corrupted it would allow for people to experience different class builds and if the corruption you get on your item is not desired you can use mother to cleanse it for a measly 5 mementos. Maybe you wanna see how much haste you can get on your caster, or how many stats you can get to proc at one time. I just feel like it would be a ton more fun for me to be able to make different gear sets with different corruption builds of the corruptions I want, not just the corruptions I get from weekly mythic+ because that seems to be my only source for the past weeks, besides guaranteed raid drops.

Because Blizzard believes the RNG element is crucial. If you could get what you wanted within the coming weeks then what reason would you have to keep playing 8.3 for another half a year?
OP, I’d settle for them adding back bad luck protection. I have received 5 pieces of gear this week and none had corruption. Last week I received 4 pieces, no corruption. I am the only person in my raid that has zero corruption. 
To feel powerful and satisfied in a video game? Half a year isn’t that long tbh, and it’s all going away after half a year anyway why would I spend five months (or maybe forever because it’s RNG) to enjoy a week or maybe even just a few days?
Better not bother with it at all. I stopped progressing and two of my alt is catching up on ilvl and I have three mains now (technically).
And to OP yes I would like to see “crits you gained from all source increase by 1000%”, that would be fun.
having all gear corrupt would be much better imo because it would even out the haves and the have nots for things like twilight devastation.
Its far from a great solution but I try to not let perfect be the enemy of good (or in this case progress)
the uno reverse of this is players like me.
sure i dont have any infinite stars or the void tentacle. but i have a bunch of the flat versa/versa procs and i got a weapon this week out of my cache which is a huge upgrade, but i cant wear it because my corruption goes above 80. so i have to sit on an upgrade i cannot equip for literally around 2 months while waiting for the stupid cloak to upgrade to the point where i can wear an upgrade.
i dont want to cleanse any of it because it might not be BIS, but they are good corruptions for my spec. but im throttled from wearing upgrades because the corruption goes too high.
how about this scenerio. you get out of your cache a rank 3 infinite stars on a weapon, and then your first run of the week gives you another rank 3 infinite stars on a weapon. you cant equip both ( your a DW class ), let alone any other corruption existing on your gear because we are literally stuck behind a time gate on the cloak upgrading.
TLDR: corruption is terrible. i got a great new shiney weapon this week and i cant do anything with it. this feels terrible.
i really wish the ranks on the neck after 80 also have corruption resistance. because this system is terrible. who knows i might get a BIS stats upgrade piece with a decent corruption next week as well and it goes into the pile of other pieces i cannot wear. this feels really bad. just as bad as not getting any pieces as well. either way we arnt getting to equip new good gear. a toggle on a piece to activate the corruption or not would be handy instead of straight cleansing it.
If you got the gear you wanted though you might not sub another week to see what gear you get out of your chests.
Everyone knows mmorpg players don’t play their characters once they hit full build…
Theres something like 50 to 60 combinations of corruption gear once you account for each affix and tier. The chance for gear to corrupt now is maybe 5%. When that 5% proc happens you have less than a 2% chance of getting the corruption you want. It’s not even a fraction of 1% chance when you kill a raid boss that an item drops, has the corruption you want and tier of corruption you want. Those are some BS odds I dont want to play.
I believe in RNG being good for the game. This is absolute insanity. There is a guaranteed corrupted item from the chest each week. Great. Once a week I have a guaranteed sub 2% chance to get the corruption and tier I need to use it. Nobody is going to keep playing long enough to get the corruption gear they want to make multiple sets with. I give this patch another 2 to 3 months before nobody is to be found.
I would support this but I would add the addendum that the coruption should be suppresible rather than removed. Sometimes that 10 or 15 coruption works out ok with your current cloak level and you might want to turn the coruption back on.
Sounds fine as long as they make it a 100% chance not to get any if you don’t have the cloak or give free cleansing if you don’t have cloak.
Y’all must be bugged lol. I’ve seen alot of threads about never getting corruption gear but man if I don’t have an entire bag of the stuff. Trying to figure out what to wear a d what to cleanse and what to sit on is almost as bad as not getting any.
