Remove the Great Vault

Hi, just wanna to offer my opinion that the Great Vault is terrible. It seems fun at a glance, but the lack of options (getting the same 3-4 piece of loot 6 weeks in a row) is quite the opposite.

I understood that the more gear i get, the harder is to upgrade. I also understood that it takes time and patience. That being said, if you have bad luck, you might as well play a different character, the difference between a grieftorch from vault or another useless belt is actually insane.

Just worked hard to finally do a +20 for the third week in a row, and i actually get nothing usable cuz its belt bracer cloak again. My suggestion would be to have forced loot rotations (cannot drop same item as last week), the rarest and most powerful items raise in drop chance as your difficulty goes up.

Or just remove the vault, or rework it to have some meaning behind it rather than the current welfare lottery system.

Doing Mythics just for gear.

Just think raids wouldn’t happen either if people didn’t get gear.

Thankfully the Vault is optional and comes at no cost. Feel free to never visit it again.

I have consistently been screwed by Vault as well as the heroic weekly across all my toons. It would be different if raids actually dropped items I needed or when they dropped I rolled more than a 2 which has been fairly consistent. I have 7 days left on this account and honestly haven’t decided if I’m reupping, quitting and going to Classic or just dropping altogether.

I almost feel like this is deliberate to keep subs going with this carrot on a stick nonsense but after weeks of it I’m about done.

Random loot turns out to be random. SHOCKING!

Translation: the system wasn’t working specifically to my benefit, therefore I think it should be removed wholesale instead of being iterated upon and improved.

Sorry that the free additional loot system that rewards you for doing things you were already doing that was added free to give you additional loot is not satisfactory to you friend.

User experiences may vary. My vaults are always bangers.

Except you’re objectively wrong. The cost the stupid vault comes at is the removal of how we used to be able to acquire a specific raid currency instead that we could then spend on targetted pieces we actually need instead of playing blizzards stupid weekly slot machine for those pieces. Sure we have the forge that upgrades things into tier, but that’s still far from perfect especially when there are things like Hunters being entirely balanced around Rasz Bow to do meaningful dps despite the item being untargettable in any way without winning the lottery from drops, vault, or the chests every couple weeks.

There is literally zero reason not to make any drop from the raid targettable to guaranteed acquire after several clears. We’re dedicating multiple hours a week to actually doing the content, it is not in too much to ask to remove a few of the 1000 layers of rng this game is built around to make it feel less bad.

So let me get this straight, you not getting the item you wanted = remove vault from the game?

This is just a dumb take. GV is not perfect, but I get 6 pieces of gear to choose from each week, which is pretty nice.

How about a freeze option so if we get 2 good pieces we freeze one like the trading post?

That way we have some leeway.

The issue with “targeting” items is after 16 weeks or whatever you’ve completely geared your character standing around wondering, “what now?”

That simply isn’t the case for most people who actually bother to unlock 6 or more slots. I’ve gotten something useful every week since the season started. I unlock 6 slots every week. 6 raid bosses, 8 keys.

Well it’s either this, the mythic box from legion and bfa (way worse), or nothing.

I’ll take the vault.

I love when people complain about getting a free item every week just for doing content they’re already doing lmao

Oh, no. If it doesn’t get improved just how the OP wants, it needs to be removed so no one else can use it. That’s how complaints work on this forum.
