We’re at the end of SOD, can we please add the AQ gear to the real vendor? There would most likely be a surge of people making alts. I have run both AQs and dragons on lockout for weeks and cannot win a single piece of tier 2.5 or the 3pc set. It’s absolutely insane. Please please please add the AQ loot to the real vendors guys. I’m tired.

Gotta agree, it is awful trying to get t2.5 right now and the set bonuses are some of the best short of SE bonuses.
One token dropping per dragon in a catchup raid where everyone needs the tokens is poorly thought out as well.

No!!! Horrible idea.
can you elaborate?
Here’s why adding AQ loot to the real vendor is a bad idea:
- Devalues Raid Effort – One of the core aspects of MMORPGs is earning your rewards through gameplay. If AQ loot is simply handed out via a vendor, it reduces the incentive for players to participate in AQ raids. The prestige and accomplishment of earning those items diminish significantly.
- Undermines the Economy – Loot scarcity is a fundamental part of maintaining a healthy in-game economy. Flooding the game with high-tier loot from a vendor will disrupt player-driven trade, devaluing items that previously had worth through effort and competition.
- Sets a Problematic Precedent – If Blizzard adds AQ loot to a vendor just because people are frustrated with drop rates, it opens the door for similar demands in the future. Eventually, players might expect any difficult-to-obtain loot to be handed out, which erodes the challenge and reward structure of the game.(Blizz did this in retail and now look at what it’s done in SoD)
- Alters the Meta Unnaturally – Certain pieces of AQ gear are powerful for class builds. Handing them out freely would shift the balance, making content easier than intended and removing the natural progression curve.
While frustration over loot RNG is understandable, making high-tier gear vendor-accessible is horrible idea. It’s the participation trophy self-entitlement mentality.

Did you write this or did you use an LLM to do it?
Did loot from MC and BWL being on the vendor detract from your enjoyment of the game or add to it?

i support this, but also make Undermine Reals BoA
or at least add more drops in AQ hm, damn man
Increasing AQ loot drops might sound like a quick fix, but it doesn’t actually solve the underlying problem. If the concern is scarcity, then the real issue is how loot distribution works—not just dumping more items into the game. If AQ loot starts dropping at a higher rate, it devalues the effort players put into farming it, making those items feel less meaningful.
If players want guaranteed access to specific AQ pieces, they should be participating in the content designed to reward them—not pushing for more drops just because they’re frustrated with RNG. Gear acquisition in MMOs has always been about effort and persistence, and increasing drops undermines that balance.
You never solve anything anyway with all your ChatGPT copy and pasted rubbish pants boy

How do you have all that gear and still green/gray parsing on Beatrix btw? You need to be asking chatGPT how to play, not how to respond to people here.

I dont know if im cool with all the AQ loot being on there, but recipes for sure.
Yes please. Been trying for weeks to get AQ and BWL runs but no one is on during my availability time–but there always seems to be MC real runs.
I got an idea to solve this.
FORM YOUR OWN GROUPS!!!
Run that through Chatgpt.
Nevermind…congrats on being the first clown I have ever had to ignore. Id rather have my brain shrivel from reading Ripsod’s garbage then entertain your trolling.
