Does this even increase your chances of getting the Legendary? Or is it like 1% each/doesn’t accumulate? I’ve done this for seven weeks on three toons and I’ve yet to get it nor even see someone ELSE get it.

It’s somewhere between 100% and 0.0000001%

You sure it’s not 0%? I mean… you don’t work for Blizzard, so you technically can’t PROVE it’s not.
It has the same chance to drop as the Sha mount did when it came out

Honestly. I have done it every week on three characters on Heroic ,normal ,and raid finder. I am done trying. If I was supposed to get one , I would have by now. I am burned out on that encounter. Killing him 9 times per week on all difficulties for the past several weeks is enough .

Same. I’m sort of just sick of it. I’ve already done it so many times that even if I got the legendary, I wouldn’t even step foot in that raid again lol.
Might just wait until next expac.

Imo having it drop bad luck protection items I think is even worse than dropping nothing for this psychotic playerbase.

In a way it kinda is… I dread seeing the ember item pop up every week in loot. It is kinda like ohhhh we know you really wanted that item ,but hey here is a reminder that you did not get it for next time. lol Seriously though they should be telling you how much of a permanent bonus it gives. It should also guarantee you get the item after so many kills.

It is if it does nothing. If it was any sort of cumulative significant increase I could start seeing more people get it each week and say “Okay, clearly the drop rate is increasing through the bad luck prevention”. But when I see no one getting them, I have to assume the bad luck prevention isn’t cumulative (like you get a 5% boost, but using another just keeps you at +5%) or a poor number(like every [Greater Ember of Fyr’alath] is a +1% increase, so I’m sitting at +7%).
My biggest issue with low % drops is there’s always people who can roll the BAD LUCK lottery and NEVER get the item even though they’re…
99.9999999% supposed to get it.

Should’ve been like 10% a week. First week like 1-5%, then +10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. But it’s very clear it’s not the case. Drops no more than the fist legendary so I’m guessing it’s a placebo.

Yes it does increase it and no one knows the % increase.

Personal anecdotes have much too small of a sample size to make any logical conclusions.
Yes.
They accumulate, but we dunno the %'s.
i gotta imagine the initial drop chance % is already super low n that the lil bad luck protection tokens don’t increase the chance dramatically.

Russel’s Teapot says you have the burden of proof.
my proof is the amount of people saying they dont get it and dont believe they do anything. so i proved it doesnt work. prove to me it does work

Does it even show when someone gets the legendary? Because I’ve never even seen one myself in the feed and I play on several toons.
Also, I’ve seen many posts on the forums complaining about this, so it’s not like this is a one off.
