I enjoyed nyzul, I just hope the new 99 ws are obtained the same way the nyzul ones. Nyzul teir 2 ws.
Even though I'm not aiming for a mythic, I would like to see this happen as well. As it is now, the economy for Alexandrite is very low, so adding Alexandrite to these new Nyzul Isle missions would help extremely to stimulate distribution for it, in my opinion (as well as everyone else's).

But it won't be because a random reward schedule is the most effective form of operant conditioning. If you think low rate random drops are a huge part of MMOs because MMO developers are stupid or just sadistic you are mistaken. Random drops are used because they they are the most effective way to addict players to your game.
Although written as a comedy article everything in the article linked below is completely true.

The only thing easier than lamps is a free floor.
The only way that would work would be to revert to the old system of clearing the disk when you beat the boss. Being able to spam the boss every day with guaranteed armor drops would mean you'd be done with it in a week.

But in fact they aren't because unlike mice in a Skinner box, humans are capable of foresight and judgement. Players who think its insulting and laughable to get rewarded by a random number generator will shun the content, criticize, suggest changes, or quit. Its worth considering what is in actuality more profitable in the long term.
And yet we've had tons of fun with casting lots since the game's released.
Through the confinement of Valefor I found myself in the depths of Hades. It was there that I was thrown into Cerberus' Den. Only through Carbuncle's light could I find my way.
Not necessarily. Salvage bosses ALWAYS dropped two 25 armor pieces. Einherjar's Odin always dropped two body abjurations. Not knowing anything about new Nyzul, we don't know if armor will drop in completed form from new bosses or not. Heck, it might go all magian trials on us, upgrading pieces from old nyzul with seals dropped from new bosses. I dunno. I'm much more a fan of slow and steady progress than random luck and bring a THF.
