Gear Algorithm broken?

I don’t post much on the forums, but after today, I have to find out if there is a bigger conspiracy here.

I am bald now. I tore my hair out last week as I ended up with 7 pairs of 440 to 445 legs in my bags on my shaman. Is that really necessary? to take every quest reward/boss drop that could be an upgrade on almost any other slot and give me 7 of the same? Ok, ok, I guess it COULD somehow happen. Whatever, moving on.

Then today, on my druid. Started with a nice upgrade, 460 boots from heroic Darkshore! WOO! Then 445 boots from my M+ chest… ok… 445 boots from the PVP chest… 445 boots from Uldir assault… 445 boots from Pandaria assault.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! Some fix this! I think I may stop playing this week already and try again next week. I think someone heard me complaining about the pants on my shaman last week and decided to mess with me. Plz stop, before I have to break my monitor.

It’s a message: don’t skip leg day.

Long live the era of the boots

It’s not your monitor’s fault.

I’m sure the multi-variate reward system in Shadowlands will fix this.

I am scared to death to see what blizzard’s “fix” for anything is anymore. BFA had a lot of “fixes” and we see where we are now.

Blizz said they put in a streak breaker long ago (dating back to the legion expansion) but that was simply a lie.

Time to call Maury Povich!

After getting the same ring 4 weeks in a row with a loot table I would assume is fairly large…I call bs on anything they did.

That sounds like me and shoulders.

Though, I do think that the assaults cycle through gear so they do both give the same piece. I think I’ve always gotten the same piece from each assault.

First week it was two pairs of wrists.
Second week it was two pairs of pants.
I skipped last week (was playing Iceborne and forgot while grinding Dodo-chan for mats for armor and the horn to upgrade to the Glavenus tree)
And I’m assuming I’ll get the same thing from both chests this week as well when I get back home tomorrow night.

Lie might be extreme. More like failed jedi mind trick.

I’m still receiving loot that isnt even for my class…

Not sure what i’ll do with all this plate and leather armor.

With me lately it’s been bracers.

I’ve long wondered if gear drops in clusters. Which cluster is RNG, but once a selection is made, it seems to generally hang for a spell.

I got Boots from my M+ Cache and my PVP weekly Cache. Havnt done the rest of the content yet but ill update if I get boots there as well LOL

There are lots of problems in WoW, but your bad luck isn’t one of them

got 3 pairs of gloves. 1 from last week 1 from this week and the other from the pvp chest… maybe there IS a conspiracy here.

Other character got a second pair of pants. at least the pvp one gave a trinket. and at least each of the duplicate slots were all different items/ different corruption effects. :thinking:

Same issue… Legs, all day, every day…

Meanwhile, I have all of the offhands that I don’t use… wish I could just pass them out…

I got the same ring on 2 toons from the weekly chest. It wasn’t even a good ring :frowning:

5 different sources 5 pairs of gloves

First weapon upgrade i have had in months cause ally emmisary 445 weapon.

Then I read they adjusted tank Horrific visions, which had they fixed it right in first place i’d have taken the 445 2h weapon for blood spec.

it feels like they write the alrgorythms to look at what ya play and what ya have then let rng actually supply what ya least need / want.

/smh
