dude it was people on the forums complaining we got too much loot in bfa. This loot system is fine
Eh, Iâd argue itâs a bit far in the other direction.
4 for 20 would have been perfect imo.
You should be doing content to get gear, not doing content to get something the next week.

When you have people doing 5-8 mythic+ before they see a loot drop that is not fine.
There should be a system similar to badges put into place if they want to keep the loot drop rate as it currently is.

Oh. You were talking about pugging. Ok then. I was talking about the rate of gear acquisition of a tank vs healers vs dps within a group.
Doubt it. People only change race once. Regular paid carries can easily max out the number of tokens player are permitted to buy.
Youâre looking at the other side of the equation. People who use in-game gold to buy game time are providing the gold that players who spend millions of gold monthly on carries can spend.
If someone buys 10 tokens a week (is that how many? I never bought many) will spend 10x4x$20 a month on purchases of those tokens. $800 that would not have been spent otherwise.
Token sales? Nah, most likely the money saved from not maintaining a quality service. ;p

That is fine, I donât see how it isnât. I have done 30+ Myths Over my characters and have not had that bad of loot luck. So saying people havnt gotten a loot drop is just plain wrong. Itâs more like 1 in 4 and still itâs not that bad.
Loot is still so easy to get. You get get a full set of 183 with a few days of battlegrounds after mythics.
You obviously donât know people.
Thatâs 200 dollars that wouldnât have been spent. 5x10 = 50x4 = 200
Theyâre litterally putting it into either game time or balance meaning 15 goes to some sort of blizz product instead of straight cash.
Itâs 1 piece of loot for the group for a completed run that doesnât make the timer and 2 in 5 for one that meets the timer. If you have been getting more, that means youâve been lucky so far. In the long run your luck will be the same as everybody elseâs.
Iâve been Human.
Iâve been Nightborne.
Iâve been Blood Elf.
Iâve been boring Troll.
Iâve been Zandalari.
Iâve been Human again.
Iâve been Zandalari again.
And thatâs only on this one character.
Well no, I have done a few where 2 items have dropped, or the mount has dropped from NW and a piece of loot. Itâs really not that bad
People are blowing this loot thing way out of proportion. Itâs SO easy to gear. People shouldnât be full BiS in the first couple weeks of play, especially if gearing alts. It should be an effort. Atm every piece does feel like an upgrade.

We have a guy whoâs race changed three times since the expansion has launched lol.
I know a few of those too, lol.
Race changed to vulpera on launch day, decided he wanted to be an orc a couple days later, went from male, to female, to male (free now though), and then decided he wanted to be a blood elf lol.

That person who bought multiple dungeon/raid carries spent $800 dollars. Normalizing that activity and encouraging paid carries by changes to instances and loot has resulted in a massive number of token purchases and continuing profit.
If there are people who make a habit of race changing on a regular basis, this behavior is unaffected by specifically changing race when allied races were first introduced. Which would have been a small blip that has passed.
Itâs not wrong when itâs happening to people consistently. I thought it was just bad luck until I saw how saturated the forums were with people experiencing the same thing.
You keep ignoring the fact that blizz only makes 5 on the token.
If they spend it on a sub, blizz only gets 5
if they spend it on balance and buy a pet, blizz only gets 5
if they spend it on balance and buy call of duty, blizz only gets 5
Blizz is only making 5 dollars extra on token sales. Itâs opportunity cost, if someone buys something with token money blizz is losing the straight cash purchase.
I love enjoyable challenges.
âDo everything perfectly from the moment you zone in to the moment the last boss dies just so you do it fast enoughâ is not an enjoyable challenge.
Itâs really not hard to time a key, albeit it is much more difficult right now, given we donât have very good gear. Give it two months and a +15 will be easy. Anything under a +5 right now is easily doable if you know the dungeon. You really, really donât have to do everything perfectly to time a key. And if you do, then your not geared enough to be doing what your trying to do.
Nnnnnnno. Not really. Most of Blizzardâs items are virtual purchases. It costs them a fraction of a cent to cater.
