Feeling slightly frustrated it’s a once a week account lockout for a low chance at a single piece of loot I might not even be able to use.
I do have three different armor type toons going on, since I seem to be getting anything but my main’s gear needed that’s warbound.
Only positive is my main is fully mythic geared from season one so I can’t really benefit from anything other than higher delves, M+ or raiding. But I feel bad for those who might only play a single toon and they aren’t playing enough to max out.
I feel like if it’s a once per week on the entire account that you could at least get the correct armor type?

well, to be fair, its 100% chance for a piece of loot you might not be able to use
I still don’t like it

Is it supposed to be 100%? I ran with people for their first kill of the week and they got nothing.

This patch has been mirred in a sea of very little tiny changes that when put together, make up REALLY BAD IDEAS.
This being one of them. This is just adding to the time-gating fatigue the patch is pushing, and it cuts the longevity of the content.
This patch is going to crash and burn in 2 months.

waste of a week

Well, one could make the argument that world boss drops tended to be extremely rare so you probably weren’t going to get anything anyway

I mean yes and no. Maybe I had better luck that the average person but it wasn’t the worst grind in the game for drop rates.
Normally you’d get them pretty quick from the world bosses. I found a lot of the time they weren’t super great but it could help.

Kind of hoping they make changes, but they probably won’t.
Definitely making some odd warbound choices. Same with locking the whole account to one faction all week. Kind of wish I could work on the different alts doing different things that benefit each of them.

Yes and all it seems to drop is plate armor.

Well, that’s a sacrifice to account wide reps

Grind is a technique that makes people play longer which makes more money
hear me out… SO DON’T DO IT. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU.
I’m not saying I don’t want to do it. I’m just pointing out the system for it isn’t very well thought out for the overall playerbase. 
I am a player that grinds all of the content. I collect achieves, mounts, pets and I work on alts. This new setup is definitely not very well thought out.
I don’t get why people react to screaming things like don’t do it in all caps.

That’s worse than what I thought it was but still better than what it used to be.
I thought it would be a chance to get an item for yourself and a separate chance to get a warbound item.
One guaranteed warbound item a week is still much better than what world bosses were in DF and TWW S1 though.

so you’re a player that does literally no main stream content that anyone cares about. got it.
I mean I guess. But the people that grind aren’t going to need that boss within a week or two. I know I might still do it once in a while but anyone playing outgears a world boss pretty quick if they aren’t super unlucky. It’s only a piece of champ gear.
From DF through until now in War Within… I’ve seen a total of three loot drops from world bosses across multiple characters. Just three.
It’s not a grind, but loot was insanely rare.
I’m fine with at least getting something that I can either DE or use.
