trade u luck for a week. ive been busy/away most of the season so ive only done maybe 2 dozen keys but i think i have 3 or 4 drops from them max and i only got loot today from raiding cause my raid group out geared me so im getting stuff nobody wants. this feels like shadowlands season 1 all over again for me. all this being said even during bfa when it was raining loot i still had bad luck getting gear but with the exception of 1 drop during nyalotha i didnt have to wait a whole raid tier to get a upgrade

I want to be clear I enjoy WoW a great deal and I don’t want to see it fail I want to see it continue to thrive and be successful but unless you are already friends with people or have a regular group or guild you play with the social aspect is dead dead no cap

WoW isn’t bricking any hardware last i checked.

104

At least it has that going for it right

105

Loot drops are fine.

Stop trolling.

And people were quite happy with that. Even in BC, people were happy they could use professions to get viable gear.

I think the ridiculous loot firehose in Legion and BFA (particularly being able to AFK your mount over WQs in Legion and get gear) set expectations so high that it’ll take a couple more expacs to reset to reasonable levels.

Yea, man, Anthem could have been a really fun game. It was! it
 like OP stated, no loots.

I feel like WoW is doing quite a bit of loot on the way up to 70. It’s a fairly steady stream of upgrades. At 70, however, I have noticed a slight drop off in loot in instanced areas. There have been a few times that I didn’t get anything from a run. But it happens. I have no idea how many times I have ran scholomance and ended up with nothing but a repair bill and a few cracked bones.

This is y’all’s punishment for inventing algebra
 my brain is still hurting from 6 years of that garbage

Reason is because most players never made the endgame in Classic WoW. Same applied to the other MMORPGs of the day. But WoW opened the can of worms by letting players solo to max. The next progression was inevitably what we have now.

Why is everyone in a rush to get maxed out on gear?

111

I just want renown 20 so I can level an alt. Max gear isn’t too much of a goal with all the good gear you can get out in the wild these days. That’s good enough to roam the hills in search of goodies and beasts to slay.

112

In your opinion they might be

113

They might as well at this point, I dont know why every boss in M+ doesnt drop loot, why they gate LFR and why the first four raids bosses do not drop tier loot for everyone plus more for everyone invovled.

114

Anthem did last longer than Liz Truss though :thinking:

I think it’s time to start having something more powerful than legendary drop. Push out the purples and make them the new blue. Legendary and legendary + can continue to be loot that is actually rare.

116

Loot is always scarce in the beginning, by DF season 3 it will be a loot fiesta once again

117

To be completely fair, Anthem was trying to perpetuate the hype granted by its namesake. They ended up falling short because of quality issues though :laughing:

Typically players rush that content because it’s where the most active players are in the game. Otherwise you’re slow grinding alone and you’ll be vastly undergeared when you arrive at the endgame and most guilds have pushed past that point in gearing.

119

That’s a good observation

If WoW was to become like Anthem it would have had to have little to no players and died before TBC launch.
