4 is a pretty good middle ground for me. Two pieces to pick from and I don’t feel like I’m grinding into the dirt.
It is, once you get above 15 I think it is you get 3 piece chance and I think they said 20 you get 4 piece chance
You’re not wrong, but I wouldn’t be against reforging being reintroduced into the game. It did help pad the burn of getting an non-optimal piece for a bit until you got your ideal piece at least. Anima is pretty lucrative, just let us spend Anima on reforging a pieces secondary stats.
It’s a basic precept of operant conditioning. It’s been proven that addictions are only reinforced by occasionally, and randomly, denying the expected reward. Hope we all get our pellets next week!
Blizzard didn’t promise us that our great vault choices would be good upgrades.
So they will itemise 3 mastery versatility rings which are identical for all partical purposes then stack the great vault with them… jesus christ the left hand has no idea what the right is doing.
They took it to its logical conclusions, it is reasonable to expect a system that is being designed as a safe guard against bad rng would, you know taken into account bad rng and not build it into itself.

Rolling crit (1) for 10 M+ dungeons, then the system designed to safeguard against that rolls 4 Crit (1)… /shrug I will suffer through it but it doesn’t change how janky the design is.

The loot is “smart” 
The loot is entirely based off of the content that your character is completing. Make sure that you’re doing the highest possible difficulty of raiding that you can complete and that you’re doing your highest keys on the M+ milestones of 1, 4, and 10 so that the 3 pieces of gear for the M+ side are the highest # of IL for you.
The gear is also subject to the dungeon that you’re completing for those M+ milestones of 1, 4, & 10.
Atleast you got stuff in your Great Vault. Plenty of us who did tons of content last week got straight up NOTHING in our vaults. I cleared N CN, got my three loots worth of keystones done, and did 1 loot worth of arenas. 0 items in my vault, and my “Loot the great vault” quest is unfinished. Your issue is just rng and possibly a lack of doing content.
Try looking at the actual loot tables, then you will see the chamces of stats you want for DH are very low in raid drops , aiming for these seems unlikely outside of lucky M+ loot.
Also item with no haste but big ilvl upgrade is still an upgrade this expansion in most cases.
So really you are whining about optimal upgrades , as you had plenty of actual upgrades

Where did you get any idea that “smart loot” was or has ever been a thing?
It just pulls items from the available dungeon/raid loot tables.
A specific stat combo may not even exist on a specific slot.
So that the WHAT happens… WHY it happens is far more important and puts on display the disconnect of players and designers. its a bad luck protection system it is literally touted as the system that “if all else fails and loot goes against you throughout the week don’t worry this fixes it”… and it doesn’t.
You are protected!
You have to simply know that when you complete your 1st, 4th, and 10th key that they need to be your highest M+ that you can push so that you’re ensured what IL you’re getting in your Vault on Tuesdays, also make sure you’re doing the dungeon for what you want the piece of gear from since that’s where the Vault grabs the item from.
I agree with you for once… This is def complaining for the sake of complaining. The vault is a much better improvement to what we had before.
Yep!
Players just need to be told that the loot from the Vault is dropped from their 1st, 4th, and 10th key & location of key that they’re completing which is something that I think most players don’t know of.

This is apparently a known bug. Might help to go to the Bug Report forum.
I encourage others experiencing this to post there.
This is the solution they’re offering:

Already done chief, but I appreciate the reply. I’m literally hunting every post with the same issue to make sure each thread is bumped with replies. Bugs suck and no one wants to lose their hard earned loot. I think if this gets out, they will fix it quicker. It is such an utter disappointment for people.
Sorry hun 
Pretty disappointing that their solution was essentially turn it off and on again. Def. put pressure on them. But of course be respectful to the GMs trying to help 
im pretty sure we wont be seeing the gear from it
At this point I wish they would just remove the vault so you people wouldn’t get any
