How is it any different from farming a rare mount or item or dungeon or spawn over and over and never getting it? Pursuing the epic weapons doesn’t entitle you to them, nor does your $15.

Sorry you find the truth negative.

The player base is completely different. Invalid argument.
The weapons influence player power, mounts do not. Player power should never be 100% luck based. That’s the issue.
Keep in mind I’m NOT saying there shouldn’t be a grind or make it hard to get. I’m saying player power should NOT be locked behind 100% luck.

Not true at all. First of all it wasn’t available during the original prepatch in 2010. Second there were so many bugs riddled through the code (as in it was and is probably not working as intended…), And more than likely there are still bugs. Bottom line is they originally said in their outline for 2024 that Cata would be releasing in August or September… and instead we get this half assed, rushed and incomplete version by May. the issue with Archeology being available in prepatch is that it baits people into wasting a lot of time… Good for you if you didn’t take the bait, but a lot of people did and it has completely ruined what should have been an exiting and fun prepatch as it was in 2010. So far, every single change they have made, has been for the sake of taking short cuts and it has all been for the worse… zero quality of life changes.

they do not, there is nothing better or comparable in any heroic to any arch item, that was the key mistake made with arch and fixed in mop, i don’t think there’s anything better in normal raids even

Has no bearing on the system working as intended. The player base is ruining it for themselves, which is hilarious since arch was bad, and remains as such.
Irrelevant to how the system works.
I have seen blues, otherwise yes this is how the secondary profession worked prior. It was a seemingly endless grind.
The rest of your post is opinion madposting so I wont engage with that part.
I got my 2nd trinket before i even got my staff this is stupid blizz should make it so that you cant get duplicates on the same account knowone wants 2nd rares that they cant use
It’s part of how the profession works. Arch was never supposed to rain gear down upon you, its a secondary profession.

You love to just repeat the same conclusion over and over again with confidence without providing anything to support it. You are incredibly convincing.
You can keep posting your own thoughts as facts if you want.
“Working as it did then” is easily verifiable. Pre-patch release or not. If you want a pedantic discussion you can have one with yourself.

The fact that blizz knew this was a broken prof and did nothing to fix it while changing and removing other things that where not broken just goes to show that blizz doesnt really care about there player base
My point is that nobody is arguing it doesn’t work as it did then. Beside the fact that you couldn’t do archeology in pre patch back then. Which is why I tried to have you specify what you meant. But you’re obviously not open to a genuine discussion if you consider a proper discussion “pedantic”. You know properly trying to understand what the people you discuss with means to say in order to avoid misunderstandings.
Also I can have constructive discussion with others even though you seem to believe that’s not possible? I’ve even had some with people I disagree with on forums. I don’t know why you assume my only option is thinking on my own.
It’s not broken though. That’s just your opinion since you didn’t get epic item #4 on your 50th solve. Not saying its a wonderful secondary profession, but this is how it worked when originally released so it really shouldn’t be that big a surprise the grind is still awful.
I mean… no, not really. The item has to drop, and you have to get it over others who need it. You could go the whole tier without getting a 372 weapon.
100% weaposn are easier to replace then trinket tho atleast for me ive been using flare since uld because i havent gotten a trinket on my mage but ive replaced multiple weapons
what truth? all you have been doing in all archeology posts is basically telling people to “suck it up”. They changed guild perks, they changed legendary drops, they changed glyphs, they changed how dungeons works and here you are assuming it cant be changed and telling people "its working as intended 
get over yourself

The one about this being how it worked, the one you’re seemingly mad about. It was always bad, it was always unrewarding. So yes, that truth, the one you’re mad about.
And they could change this, which I wouldn’t be against. Until then though, working as intended. Stay mad I guess. Hard for me to feel sympathy for anyone who didn’t look into archeology ahead of time, this isn’t a suprise.
Funny how they made Shadowmourne’s quest chain faster but not this.
