When running older raids solo, do you have less of a chance of getting set gear, and general boss gear for your class?
For example, I ran all Classic Raids solo on my lvl 117 Priest. I got no set loot for Priest but over 20 set pieces for other classes. Only cloth gear I could equip for transmog purposes, were from mobs.
I did the same on my lvl 103 Hunter. Got 6 priest gear set pieces in 2 raids. Got no hunter gear.
I ran Hellfire Citadel with a druid and they got 4 priest set pieces and no druid. I got druid ones and we exchanged.
Four things impact your drop rate when soloing old raids.
-
If you are 11 levels or more above the raid, you get group loot. Below 11 levels, you get personal loot.
-
Raid difficulty can affect what’s on a loot table. Boss A may drop a letter shoulder token on heroic, but not on normal difficulty.
-
A boss at a given difficulty doesnt necessarily drop tokens for all armor classes.

You have not sacrificed enough chickens/first born to the gods of RNG.

So basically it is the RNG for me. Because I am like 30 levels over. 117 and running the 4 classic raids by walking in from the enyrance. Same raid difficulty each time. And tokens?
I am talking about actual gear drop directly from the boss. Any gear. Set or not. Like getting the first priest set ever, from Molten Core.
It’s entirely RNG. Running raids that you outlevel by more than 10(?) levels will automatically convert the loot rule to “Legacy Loot” which is basically that the boss will drop 3-7 random pieces of gear from all class loot tables, just like it would before the introduction of personal loot.
We’ll find out in a couple of expansions whether the Legacy Loot rule will extend past Legion raids, as Legion was the last expansion where the Master Looter system was available in raids.

So my RNG is horrible haha. Well, makes sense. I ran 20 BFA dungeons recently and got no boss gear loot. Only shards and gold…
