Just because you don’t win the equivalent of a small lottery doesn’t make you unlucky

Oh, I did not know that. And LOL, yeah. :cowboy_hat_face:

The only problem I see here is you complaining about getting gear, if its that bad, just destroy it. Plenty of other people who would be grateful for that luck.

This, it makes working towards any specific piece of gear feel totally meaningless. Character progression in this game is now just about pulling the slot machine lever as many times as you can and hoping to get lucky.

There is one other possibility that you seem to have overlooked.

There is no bug. You just got crazy crazy lucky. Improbable things do happen, after all.

As somebody who uses WQs exclusively to progress, I say nuts to you!

 I love free gear but seriously this is out of control.

My best forges were in legion. Raid finder got 965 legs and 960 cloak. I think it was 915 to 925 gear without forge. Nothing like that for me in this expansion.

It really isn’t, anymore than someone occasional wins a $500 million lottery. Look at the hoops your titanforged drop has to go through;

  1. It drops at all.
  2. It war/titanforges.
  3. The ilvl of the war/titanforge.
  4. Is it higher than what you have?
  5. Are the stats ideal?

My Ally rogue got a 400 dagger from the against overwhelming odds quest, which was the exact eq I could benefit from the most at the time.

My Horde hunter in Legion got a titanforged relic
that gave a + to
Turtle Shell. :frowning:

Enjoy your perk for what it is; a nice surprise. It neither makes you raid-worthy nor does it cheapen or invalidate the raiders’ experiences.

i personaly have not done anything above a few LFRs and i do not have many forges.
so that means that i actually put in the effort to try and get to the ilvl i am at.
it is easy to see that i have not even done any m+

so how does me grinding my butt off hurt a raider ?
i will not judge someone from the gear they have as most just mog it anyway so you can not tell who has the leet set anymore.
if your self worth is tied to pixels then you need to rethink things.

what someone else has in a game should have no effect on you at all.
if you do not want to slum with them in PUGs then stick to your circle and stop the crying over stuff that has no direct effect on anything beside your feels.

No one was ever able to link us to the armory of a toon fitting this description during Legion, despite the fact that we often heard claims that it is common.

When challenged, those making this claim would usually link us to a heroic raider with lots of kills, who had also spammed high keys.

Nor could they link us to a mythic raider who had even one piece of titanforged LFR gear equipped.

It doesn’t happen.

This is a possibility, but it’s more of a possibility from your point of view than from mine.

From your point of view, there could be 999 other regular forum posters who feel the way that I do, and they just didn’t get lucky so they didn’t post.

From my point of view, there cannot be 999 other "me"s that didn’t get lucky, since there’s only one me. From my point of view, it’s statistically significant at the 0.001 level or so, which is highly significant.

The fact that there are several other people in the thread who mention similar levels of forging should make it more convincing to you, though.

Just enjoy your luck. It isn’t a bad thing at all to have a once in a while great item, and no it doesn’t need toned down. Leave it as is since its rare when it does happen, and where average ilevels matter more, it doesn’t affect much as your other gear is replaced too

That explains the 405 weapon I go off a 365 world quest.

It would be much more satisfying if they re-introduced valor upgrades, and if something “titanforges” then it comes already-upgraded when you loot it. That way they can have the old system that worked and also have their slot-machine current objective.

If every item was upgradeable with valor points, there are several advantages:

  1. You have guaranteed steady rewards for your in-game efforts.
  2. You can apply those rewards to the items you want to first, rather than rely 100% on luck for what your highest ilvl pieces are.
  3. Players feel rewarded for their adventures, since your greater gear comes from things you did, rather than RNG from Blizzard’s computer.

It has a direct effect in PVP, and this drop happens to have been a drop from PVP content.

More importantly, though, it has an effect on the player experience if they have to conclude that, say, doing mythic raiding is a subpar way of getting gear. While I’ve never done cutting edge raiding, I think cutting edge raiders should feel like they are following a near optimal gearing path.

LFR is not spammable, so it’s unlikely to be a source for this kind of gear, not to mention that mythic raiders are hardly likely to do a ton of LFR. If you look at profiles at a high ilvl and most have a larger fraction of their mythic ilvl gear being forged from lower content instead of being directly from mythic raiding, that’s enough to show that playing the RNG is a more effective way of gearing.

I’m not even arguing for getting rid of forging. I’m mostly just saying to fix the technical issues with random number generation for forging, and maybe making each level of forging a bit less likely. Blizzard can easily test for this issue by testing, say, 100,000,000 drops and seeing if high levels of forging are happening more often than they statistically should.
