We had a party size of 2/3/11.
We cleared normal for our first night raiding this week and 2 bosses that SHOULD have dropped tier didn’t drop any at all.
But, we seemed to get EVERY SINGLE TRINKET to drop; including double-trinkets on 2 of the bosses and someone got the mount on Fyrakk which kinda blew my mind.
So is this the new logic? If you get tons of trinkets then you’re going to not get any tier? I guess I’m just not down with the whole “oh now there’s a chance they wont drop tier tokens” logic. i’m also seeing that in transmog runs on ancient content and I am not sure this is a change anyone wanted.
you’re getting stuff that isn’t rings, bracers, and cloaks?

It’s just RNG. If it makes you feel better, just think about the groups will have better drops to offset your bad drops.

Blizz nerfed the drop chance of tier tokens because they want to make raiding even more worthless for gearing than it already is.
I am pretty sure you only had 75-80% chance of tier dropping, the math is 1 tier piece per 20 players (guarenteed at least) and any extra tier is luck only.
Its blizzards new MO, They have been doing this for like 3 expantions now.
Blizzard is basically trying to kill raiding for anyone who is not doing mythic raiding anymore. Gearing though raiding is possibly the worst way to gear and anymore raiding only exists just to hold trinkets hostage. For example, its week 2 and i already out gear normal raid by a country mile, save for my trinkets. Im even approaching heroic level geared.
there’s a catalyst for tier.
there is no catalyst for trinkets.
this should be a good thing.

Because tier is the most free and easy to get loot in the game due to the catalyst, universal token, and Aotc/KSM token.
After reset I’ll have my 4p while only actually obtaining 1 piece of tier from the game directly.

What’s the universal token?
But you got the vault :^)
loot and gearing in raids is garbage has been for awhile, there is no logic to the loot system in raiding.
Homie, they literally give you 2 piece by default week 2 if you get KSM/AOTC. And next week you will have another automatic piece… So if you get even a single drop from any level raid or vault slot by week 3 you have 4 set. Its 100% easier to have 4 set this tier than any other tier. And you can do RF/Norm/Heroic if not Mythic. My entire guild has 4 piece at this point. The idea that its hard is laughable. If you can do ANY M+ and/or Normal raid you will have 4 set next week, basically guaranteed.
Clearly you missed S3 of SL, where it was painfully bad until week 6 if raid drops werent pretty close to perfect.
