Soul Crushing RNG

As a lowly casual gearing up is only moderately important to me. I do want to feel as though I am progressing in character strength, although I don’t need BiS or anything even remotely like that… However, whenever I do try to gear up even just a wee bit, to just advance myself just a mere smidgen, the RNG is so painfully punishing that I burn out almost instantly.

The suffusion camp WQ last week gave me a cloak. Then the Heroic weekly gave me a cloak. Then the vault gave me a cloak. And now the Disciple of Fryakk I just killed gave me a cloak. I’ve never actually gotten the “draconic treasures” reward for some buggy reason, but I’m pretty sure there would be a cloak in there for me too.

This is why I believe there should always be a badge or token system in place, supplementary to conventional gearing paths, in which after so many kills/tasks/whatever you save up enough to purchase a piece of gear from a vendor for whichever is your most neglected (or spited by the RNG Gods) slot.

Now all you need is for the TW weekly to also give you a cloak and you will have experienced peak wow.

Funny you mention that. I was actually going to hit a few TW dungeons after finishing the suffusion camp, but after getting yet another cloak, I just had to log off instead. It’s probably for the best I stopped when I did. :upside_down_face:

The cynic in me suspects that not only is there a noted lack of bad luck protection in this game, but there is also some sort of modifier to increase chances of a recent slot drop to drop again… you know, to keep the hamster wheel spinning or something.

I’m pretty sure my luck is actually just rotten though. :upside_down_face:
