All I am getting are trinkets. Not only that, but usually the exact same one. It feels really bad to run Bountiful Delves back to back and get the same loot you already have equipped over and over. My main has ALL of the trinkets in their bag just because. Can we get an increase to weapon and armor drops PLEASE? I’m wearing adventure gear with HEROIC trinkets. Delves are my favorite activity but are not rewarding now. Why am I here? I am un-subbing until October at the earliest because I see no point in the grind anymore. I can’t advance.

It’s just the nature of RNG Moriena.
Hope you get some weapons and armor soon.

It is funny they added a trinket vendor at the end of delves now. It’d be cool if they had all champ gear slots for sale at even 1k to 2k undercoins each like those trinkets. At least then it’d be more similar to a valor system for delves and help keep you from getting full RNG-boned.

People gonna tell you it’s just RNG… we don’t have actual RNG in WoW - we’ve got Blizzard’s flavor of it. I’m sorry to hear you’re getting trinkets and only trinkets. It’s lazy on their part to not fix loot in this game. World activities and delves are the worst at this - you’ll find that it will over-reward a specific slot so you “don’t gear too fast” or you can’t fill in all your slots with the best gear or whatever nonsense. I think this design is intentional to keep milking your time in the game.
Doesn’t loot feel more special now!? /s

Ive gotten a bunch of trinkets, but ive also gotten a full armor set of champion gear except for 1 ring and neck piece. Ive also gotten 5 hero pieces. (2 per week from the season boss and vault).
So it is rng. You really want to do those 8 per week. Ive gotten trinkets that arent even for hunters. 2 of which are more for tanks. So trinkets are popular, but mainly because there are more of them than just 1 or 2 for armor slots.

That and a hidden luck stat
delves are the new great vault so yeah
Delve loot pool is 99% trinkets.

I am in agreement. Delves should only offer upgrades and no duplicate loot. What’s the point in running them otherwise?
I am going to log in real quick and take a screenshot of my bank. I have kept almost everything I have gotten so far.

I had to farm literally every little key fragment in order to finally get a neck that wasn’t Veteran. Final piece to getting champ’d out.
I was gonna have to craft one otherwise and I’m happy I don’t have to do that now!
Now if I could win a single dice roll in my raids. Out of both Heroic and Normal lockouts and on an alt’s LFR lockouts I’ve lost every single roll for weeks.
I got a hero wep out of the vault, champion gear is ok, but hero gear is what matters
And the trinkets in that shop are completely worthless.
We probably do have actual RNG and that’s what people don’t like. People don’t want true randomness, they want something like equal distribution because true RNG by definition means streaks, clusters, and getting the same kind of items back to back.
Spotify used to use true random algorithms when you pressed shuffle, but people complained it didn’t seem random enough even though it really was. They had to bias their algorithms to spread things out more evenly which is actually less random. We just don’t have a good intuition for things like randomness and probability. If you ask people to flip a coin 10 times versus writing down a ‘random’ sequence of heads and tails…the true coin is easy to pick out because most people don’t have any idea what random is.
It might also have to do with the loot table structure. If there are more trinkets in the loot tables of the content they are doing and everything has an equal chance of dropping then you are going to see more trinkets. I actually just experienced the worst loot drought I’ve ever had in wow. I needed pants to finish my tier set on one of my toons and it took 24 m+ runs before I finally got it. It sucked and is unlucky, but I know that’s within normal variance for a targeted piece of gear.

I got 3 of the exact same belt out of an 11 the other day. The first was a champ warbound. Second with a key was the 684 belt, and the last was a hero from the map… That’s not how a Random Number Generator (RNG) works. The odds on that happening are astronomical.
first: no they’re not.
second: you don’t have enough data to make that claim.
What exactly is the point of the vendor? They sell garbage I don’t need. All I use them for is to vendor junk at the end of a delve. What is the reason for them even existing?
It really doesn’t seem that crazy to me. I’ve gotten the same piece of gear + a warbound version of that same piece of gear in m+ multiple times…and the bounty map is guaranteed loot right? There’s not that many items in the loot table. I would bet the odds aren’t as astronomically low as you might think.

on these forums people think flipping a fair coin 4 times will always result in getting heads twice and tails twice
