I’m pretty sure the cutoff is 20 now, since that’s the new ilvl cap.

You’re probably right, was thinking SL levels.
Do you have a source for this? I’ve been trying to find it.
That’s how it’s been since legion, patch 7.3, except with the number of items and the key level where it kicks in having changed a few times.
Oh I know how it works, just looking for a source to show someone else who is disagreeing. People still think low keys get more loot for timing when that was changed in SL.
The true rewards are the friends you made along the way
I tend to run two dungeons for rating, then the third dungeon I go somewhere I need a piece of loot since it seems to be the pattern to only get a piece of gear every third or fourth run.
Up to 387 because of M+ though, and so far got four usable and good pieces of gear with the stats I want (trinket/shoulders/boots/wrists) at 389/392. M+ is pretty much the fastest way to gear, as usual. Raiding is just for funsies/cosmetics/achieves and tier before the catalyst thing comes out.
I don’t think the drop needs any improvement.
You can infinitely do M+ until you get the item you are looking for.
I want you to tell me where or how you can do the same with a Raid.

The patch notes for 7.2.5 (not 7.3, I’m old), 9.0, and 9.0.5 are the times the core system was changed

I clear the raid on normal, don’t get any loot. However, unlike M+, I don’t have the option to spam the raid as much as I like to farm loot. Raid also doesn’t give me inflated ilvl loot from the great vault for failure - I’m never going to get a mythic raid ilvl piece from the vault for doing a normal or heroic raid.
M+ gearing is already far to good, it definitely doesn’t need to be improved further.

I agree OP the mythic plus drop rates are absolutely absurd… the season has been out for 3 days now and yet i am still not completely geared from mythic plus drops!!! Thats ridiculous 3 days blizzard!!! I have run lile 10 dungeons now and what do i have to show for it 4 maybe 5 different new pieces!!! Unbelievable blizzard!!! So unfair!!!

well the season has been out for 3 days. you did 34 runs in 3 days. so 100 runs is i guess 9 days for you… how is that bad would you be satisfied with idk 5 days fully mythic + geared?? lmao jeez guy
The season has been out for a few days so what? What does that have anything to do with my point?
My point revolved around a work versus reward ratio.

Took you that long to come up with that? lol.
What another relevant and brilliant response. Hats off to you.
Okay you said you need 100 runs for full gear, well thats only 6 more days for you so just be patient
Again, I don’t care how fast I’m doing it. It has nothing to do with time. It has everything to do with /work/. Farming 100 dungeons whether it took me 2 days or 2 weeks is ridiculous.
Many of the dungeons can be completed in under 30 minutes. You’re pretty much guaranteed 3 Primal Chaos and have roughly a 30% chance of getting a piece of gear. The more gear you have, the harder it is to get an upgrade, but you can target dungeons that drop items you specifically need and HOPE to get it, using other people’s keys.
Really easy and not even a huge amount of ‘work’ required if you’re farming 9s for that ultra-easy loot.
Except that’s not how it works. it’s a fixed 2 items no matter what until you go over 20.
If you only see 1 item, either you missed it, or the person it dropped for didn’t loot the chest for some reason.
