It's time for chest quests to have memory

I see these posts all the time and now even I’m having to chime in here.
I"m really tired of these weekly quests we get where we’re promised a heroic raid item and EACH TIME it’s either the exact same item week after week or at least the same slot each time.
I refuse to believe that bracers and belts are ALL that we can ever expect from the raid cache.
I wouldn’t even make this post if i wasn’t also seeing the same loot on alts week after week.

I understand the whole “RNG” fantasy of loot progression but RNG can also create situations like this where you’re not actually progressing at all b/c you just keep getting unlucky.

I really think the devs need to start blacklisting items from the loot table per character once they’ve already shown up for someone. This should help KEEP playing each week even throughout ridiculous content droughts like this … it’s a simple fix. If someone gets x bracer? fine…it doens’t show up again in the cache rewards from these quests again for the rest of the season.

I think doing this would really help this broken system.

Bad luck protection needs to be universal across all reward systems.

I know it’s “RNG” and random is random even if it’s the same thing every week. I think once you win an item on that character it should be removed from your loot table. This issue of this could be that you win your Bis item at LFR level but then it never comes back when you’re getting heroic or higher level gear.

how will gearing be slowed down to compensate for no repeats?

Arenʻt they already on daily / weekly lockouts?
Can you spam multiple chest rewards in a day?
hmm well delve loot probably…
so only have the no repeat system on daily/weekly rewards perhaps?

Look, I’d love to see this system work on all other sources of loot acquisition. You can leave “RNG = RNG for the actual raid itself”

GROUP THESE TOGETHER:

  1. Complete 4 mythics to get a Heroic Raid Tier reward = the ENTIRE set of items are on the table, anything that already dropped before this season is not.

  2. Complete 5 Timewalking Dungeons to get a Heroic Raid piece = the ENTIRE set of items are on the table, anything that already dropped before is not.

SIMILAR SYSTEM FOR THE VAULT

For each “row” of items possible –

  1. Slot 1 = 1/26 items that are good for spec
  2. Slot 2 = 1/26 items that are good for your spce (EXCEPT whatever is in the first slot)
  3. Slot 3 = 1/26 items that are good for your spec (EXCEPT whatever is in 1st AND whatever is in the second)

Basically, the vault should NEVER have the same items week in the same week and there will be at least SOME protection from having them repeat the same items the following week.

(this means that the systme would need to make sure each “slot” was rolled subsequently…like a slot machine)

I’d even settle for “the bug” where you could see your potential rewards and work out if it’s worth doing or if the item will be better with another spec selected.
