Dungeons are unrewarding

Blizz needs to up the rate of gear drops to 100% from bosses instead of doing dungeons and having every boss drop nothing but gold.

I don’t care if I have the gear already. I don’t care if nothing in the dungeon loot list is an upgrade. Getting that drop feels so much better than just getting gold. It doesn’t matter if I end up selling the item for the amount of gold I would have gotten anyway. Getting an item drop feels good. Getting gold feels like I wasted my time.

Edit: I killed a rare basically the moment I finished posting this. It dropped a piece of gear. I wont be using it, but rares in the open world are more rewarding than dungeon bosses.

I feel like Drop rates are fine, I got to grind dungeons for valor stones anyways and there is the current struggle for most lol

Bosses always drop items. But you don’t always get the item. Someone else in the group gets it when you don’t.

I’m aware.

That doesn’t change anything. It just makes the feeling worse.
Why is it that I can spend an afternoon running dungeons, watching everyone else get an item and not get anything myself? That sucks the fun out of the game.

Dungeon bosses should give everyone items all the time. There’s no reason not to.

Because they had a fun system that worked back in the day with Valor and Justice points, ensuring you at least got something towards an item every run, and dropped that for an overly complex upgrade system that feels like something out of a mobile game.

Because that’s how RNG works. It’s also why the weekly vault exists (and will activate when the season begins) to give you at least one reward per week for doing dungeons of appropriate level.

yes heroic dungeons are literally a waste of time.

It shouldn’t be RNG. You run a dungeon, you get the gear. That’s how it should work. It shouldn’t work like a freaking loot box.

RNG is nothing but a scam anyways, makes players on average spend more time running mediocre content as a way to boost player engagment. Imagine if your pay was RNG, congrats! your effort today spins the wheel was nothing! Shouldnt be hard to see why many dont enjoy such systems

But that is literally never how this game has worked?

We had expansions where you’d get a guarantee piece of gear at the end of a dungeon.

Okay enjoy being BIS in an afternoon then being upset you have nothing to work towards as dungeons give you nothing.

But it has been the system for the entire existence of WoW? The game is nearly 20 years old, you’d think people would realize that by now.

It changes everything. Cant increase a 100% drop rate lol

You are so far along your path of addiction that even nonsense dungeon bosses all need to give you a hit. Dear Lord I thought I was hooked on wow but you people continue to shock me with your lack of self control

Imagine how fast I and everyone else would drop the game if we were full bis in two weeks. Talk about so much fun.

For one week during the month. Don’t be obtuse and imply it was permanently that way.

You don’t get BIS from dungeons.

What planet are you living on?

You do know that M+ is still a dungeon, right?
