Given that our only bad luck protection for great vault is sockets, every piece of armor should be able to have sockets so that we have more options if our great vault is bad multiple times in a row
Already a gift to have 2 easy sockets on both rings and neck.
What I’d personally prefer to see is them bringing back reforging. It helped offset when you kept getting gear with junk stats.

Oh man, i do remember the days that this was a very possible thing, JC felt like a shadow of it’s former self in WoD after sockets got super limited

I do miss more gear customization but to be clear I do not want more rng / additional sockets. Items should have socket slots again and those sockets should be accounted for in the base budget of the item if they’re present. Settings are dumb.
The additional sockets wouldn’t even be RNG, it’s just more bad luck protection after having multiple bad vaults.
What do you do when you already purchased a socket for your helm, belt and bracers with vault tokens then your next vault gives no upgrades?
I’d rather just see them bring back sockets from BC-MoP era of the game where most armor has sockets and helm had the special meta sockets.
The topic of this thread isn’t necessarily sockets but bad luck protection from great vaults that have zero upgrades.
I want to see more bad luck protection - if I am going through the trouble of completing eight +10s a week on my character, I want to see something tangible as a reward for that effort.
Whether it be more sockets or a currency that will eventually allow me to purchase the piece of gear I am after.
Nah, that just pushes regular players farther below the ultra-geared players.
You are misunderstanding my proposal - I want more bad luck protection which benefits literally everyone
Bad luck protection is generally a good thing, but sockets are a waste if you don’t have mythic track gear to put them in.
Reforging was so damn nice to have once you didn’t have to worry about hit and exp caps. I miss being able to experiment with different stat make ups : \

Conceptually, the great vault is a terrible bad luck protection system. All it does is add another round of RNG on top of the RNG you had getting loot that week. Ideally if they wanted a bad luck protection system they would just add back badge vendors so we could just buy a piece of gear every week or two based on the number of badges we were able to collect each weak.
He’s not saying the great vault itself is bad luck protection, he’s saying if your great vault is bad you take the tokens (or whatever they’re called) and buy a socket, that part is bad luck protection.
the great vault is NOT bad luck protection.
for mythic plus only players, the great vault is their only chance at a myth track piece of gear each week.
