Dude, this loot system stinks

You say you dont like it, but they see someone spending endless hours playing the game, so to them, you must really really like it.

Blizzard: Creates game where you need to nolyfe the game to actually be successful
Players: hate doing it, but do it because they like being successful more than they hate the game
Blizzard: Look at our /played! We’re so gud at games, y0!

Retarded design is retarded. They should take the ultimate test: remove carrots on a stick as a motivator and see just how much fun people actually have. If it were actually manipulating a character in the world itself that was the fun, the /played would stay the same.

Most of the players left are only people concerned with external motivation for things though, since we all know the internal motivations have been eroded 10 times over in favor of the external ones.

You have a chance to get a str staff from the emissary, nothing transmog cannot solve.

That sounds so… fun.

I think it’s more accurate to say they don’t actually care if you like it, as long as you play.

This isn’t to say that the devs somehow dislike the players; it’s just that player feedback and other subjective measures of content quality aren’t part of the development model.

It’s hilarious that one of the reasons they have against tokens is that it’s too confusing for people to find where they are supposed to spend them, yet this decentralized RNG loot is even more confusing.

You have a 420 pole arm on and have only completed 4/10 mythic plus dungeons. What are you hoping for my lying about this?

4 specs but you only need 2 weapons to cover all 4 of them

if you paid attention, he is talking about his paladin, not the character he is posting on.

Oh must have missed it. I guess I just don’t understand why people don’t post on the charactor they are talking about :tipping_hand_man:

posts dont carry over with characters. my Warlock is basically my main this expansion, but i stick to this guy for posting. i know plenty others who do that too.

Agreed. I would’ve much preferred that emissaries reward tokens that can be saved and spent at your discretion.

What, you don’t like pulling a slot machine and not working for specific goals? Outrageous!

of course it sucks.
There is no feeling of accomplishment when one guy gets god drops from crap content and another guy who puts in the time and effort gets squat.
and Im the former, not the latter, and even I hate it.

Play classic and you won’t have to deal with the gambling game. You already know what you’re working towards:)

But in classic he’d compete with 40 people for a weapon upgrade, or a portion of them.

They get polearms not staffs. Which means it is useful on arms and firy. The dude you are responding to is a liar

How have you not gotten a weapon upgrade with the various emissary weapon quests the Horde have had since 8.2. The Alliance finally had one the other day, so all my alts now have a 415s. Hell you can get them off the Naz world bosses.

It just is RNG on whay drops and if out of 40 people you get it.

Rng is still rng.

You think people use group loot in raids? LOLOLOL

Lucky it also applies to paladin. You do a weapon emissary as prot you get a 1 hander with strength which has int when you switch too holy. You do it as ret you get a 2 hander. If your unlucky your get a shield. Don’t bother about holy because their is a 10% or so chance of a 2 hander weapon with int.

Horde have had 3 weapon emissaries, alliance there is one right now!!!

It takes about 2 battles of nazjatar to earn enough conquest to get a 410 weapon. No rng involved.

Its seriously that hard to check for weapon emissaries every 3 days? I think about 3/4 of my alts have a world boss weapon.
