I am not a raider, but I have started to raid more often. I just completed all six Awakened Raid Bosses and not one of them provided me with any gear other than those silly vault coins. Is this normal?

Yes this is normal.

It’s just bad luck. I hope you get a BiS item on vault though!

When it comes to loot, nothing is truly normal.
LOL! That says it all.

Got my bullion first raid boss, a nice new pair of pants too but lost every roll afterwards so…yeah the RNG is truly something at times. I do wish you luck though.

Clearly RNG wants you to suffer well.
The bullion isn’t guaranteed off the first boss?
I’ve had really bad luck this week too. I ran a LFR and not a single piece of cloth armor dropped, it was wild. Some weeks it’s really good, some not so much but usually it balances out pretty well after a few weeks. That’s been my experience last Season.
You think you got it bad, I rolled a 97 on a piece of gear this week on fated raid and lost out to a d00d that rolled 100.
Just think of that when you think you are having a bad day…
sadly it seems not, we’ve had people pop up saying they’ve cleared the awakened raid and never got their bullion. I’m counting myself lucky I got mine but to get all the items I’m after for this character at least I’ll need to save up 6+ and hope things work out in my favor.
Let’s say there’s a 1 in 3 chance that loot for your class/spec even drops… if it does, let’s say there are at least 7 people rolling on it (including you). 1/3 x 1/7 = 4.8% chance that loot drops and you win the roll… When you’ve killed 61 bosses come back and complain that you are in that unlucky 5% that still didn’t get loot after that many kills.
5% chance that you still got nothing = BINOMDIST(0 success, 61 tries, 4.8% chance/try, cumulative=TRUE)
Sometimes RNG without any bad-luck protection is really, really bad.
Raiding awards a pittance of loot for the number of people involved.
Dungeons give twice as many drops, per person, and can be done over and over again as often as you want.
M+ Dungeons: 2 drops per 5 people, at the end, but infinitely repeatable
Raids: 1 drop per 5 people, per boss, but only once per week

As long as I get the bullion I’m happy, after two weeks I can have the two rare rings I want. Anything else is bonus
Rings? You don’t want to use bullion to buy something with a transmog?

Go run M+, get to +6 for aspect crests, craft your own gear, and never look back.

Is it back to personal loot yet?
