It helps the Dev Team say hey look, people were playing visions.
Its like the afk warfront having the heroic raid level gear quest… its bribery, I wouldnt even dignify these greasy tactics as the proverbial carrot on a stick…
Well this is a stall tactic because then know shadowlands development is going to take a while.
This is the hero that GD needs.

What are you even talking about? Bribery? It’s a game, my guy.
this is a good change and will definitely encourage me to do more visions. it’s still rng, but still an improvement. I wish the assaults weren’t the only way to get vessels, coalescing visions, so tedious.
Bribing players to do otherwise unwanted content with a reward that is too good/easy to turn down.
That in essence is bribing.

It is a game.
its not exactly bribing, you wont get those corrupted 470s if you werent doing 5 masks in the first place, just keep doing what you were doing in visions and your rewards will be better, thats all.
I have a wacky idea!
How bout corruption vendors!
Or would that make too many people happy?

And bribery is a literal definition that can be applied to a game…
Here is the definition of bribe:
persuade (someone) to act in one’s favor, typically illegally or dishonestly, by a gift of money or other inducement
I will break this down, they are dishonest (they heard from many players) that we needed more corrupted gear. So to get us to act in their favor (keep running visions - as they were becoming pointless), we will be gifted/induced with corrupted gear.
Now are you able to comprehend the use of bribery in the context of game play…

Players asked for more corrupted gear. Blizzard is providing more corrupted gear. That is not a bribe.
Further, Blizzard benefits from your subscription dollars, not from horrific visions.
Take off the tin foil.
You have never heard of the concept “pay for performance” in the workplace?
If they allocated RnD dollars to content no one is playing… pretty sure the ROI is low and big daddy Activision wouldnt be too happy with Mr or Ms Dev (throw in whatever pronoun to keep the pcs happy).

If that were a big deal, corrupted loot would have been added to Islands.

And a change that’s never going to happen.
When i get leach or avoidance for the 47th time, how will this help me “choose from among a greater selection of corrupted pieces.”

this really is a great change but it’s also one that I feel should have been in the system at launch.
a vendor would still be ideal. we’re gonna be swimming in mementos and sockets aren’t rare enough for that to be the only dump.
1 was guaranteed on the weapon. The other is the ONLY decent corruption i’ve ever gotten.
I’d still prefer ONE 75 IS, so i can use stat ones before i’m 10 weeks into farming my level 15 cloak. And TD has NEVER dropped for me.
I feel your pain, except I either only get tentacle or leech from weekly chest. I was interested during the beta review from YouTubers describing the customization and option but the acquisition resulted in more disappointment than excitement (I’m looking at you Ion!).
Players: We don’t want Corruption to be RNG! You suck.
Blizz: Ok, everyone will get a corrupted piece every week
Players: Why didn’t you do it sooner? I bet I’ll just get the sucky corruptions, you suck.
Blizz: 
So now you get BIS gear from doing solo content…how is this an improvement.
