I could see that as a WoW toy.
im with him on this one when you do heroic nyl for the 4th time and bonus rolling on bosses that drop a two hander everytime and always get nothing but ap yeah there is something wrong there i dont want loot handed to me but i dont want to get screwed on loot everytime either not saying take ap out of the bonus roll all together but there should at least be a cap on rolling and getting ap like if youve got ap from drest 3 times in a row then the 4th you wont get ap or something like that because as of now its not oh thats JUST HOW MMOS WORK now its just a waste of time and a bad system

Bonus rolls are designed to give you a second “Chance” at loot not to make sure you always get loot. no one should get loot off everything everytime, the content would only last one or two clears for most groups.
Think of how boring it would be if you got everything for your class after one run through a brand new raid…now you get to either farm it for no real reason or wait 3-5 months for the next one to come out and do it again. there has to be character progression…as in something that happens gradually not all at once.
They added because people use to cry about getting no loot, now with it in place your chances are a lot better and people do gear a lot faster then before…they could remove it all together again if you don’t like it being a chance but they will likely never make it auto hand out loot, that’s just lazy…
Kinda makes me wonder if bonus rolls will exist in SL?
A bonus roll is just like killing bosses, after so many you get loot. Like if you rolled and won an item I know I won’t be getting anything for the next 2 rolls for sure.
Of course there is this one dungeon run I did that every boss gave me an item. I did run out and buy a lotto ticket which wasnt a winner.
Must be nice. I’m still salty that the gloves to finish my set drop from the guy who only takes frost damage.
With a cap of 5 now it should be. WOD was like 15 which was ridiculous. But 5 should be a guaranteed. Especially if you have to wait 3 weeks to get all 5.
Then they’d have to give us less of them, which might also be ok, except then people would complain because they didn’t get the drop they wanted when they bonus rolled a boss and got the sucky drop instead.
If bonus rolls cause too much drama like this maybe they should just be removed.
The drops are the drops.
A year ago when I made this post, that’s what I wanted changed.
That’s not what was being asked for. What was being asked for was the possibility of guaranteeing getting SOMETHING. AP was just filler.
Think of how boring it is for people who devote their few free hours to a raid for nothing.
By a lot better you mean one chance more a week.
Never mind, you’re just looking to push buttons…in a necro-thread. Good talk.
I don’t really bother with raids past LFG anymore, but it was very unsatisfying when I’d do all that work and get nothing. I get thtat some people can just hop in and do it over and over again, but I shouldn’t have to give up my life to get loot in WoW. Even if there was some other kind of token, maybe one at a time, that just gave 1 a week…Though, now we have vendors for some things.
I barely remember what was going on when I made this thread, but it is not drama. If that’s what you’re looking for there are plenty of Sylvanus and High Elf threads atm.
