    Anyone else feel buggered by VW?

    I feel being made a fool by SE.
    I did maybe 50 VW fights so far. Outcome ZILCH drops.
    To add insult to injury, I've see total beginners that I dragged along in my pt get drops.
    I dual box, main cure and tank, they watch and get the drops.
    So, sorry, dearest SE,,, but WTF???????????????????

    VW totally SUCKS!

    In the past they made content with such horrible drop rates and twists that it made cheap small amounts of content last for years, they are just going back to that.

    Old HNM had horrible drop rates and a disgusting claim system, Voidwatch has a horribly low drop rate and a loot system that guarantees that you have to do it over and over and over even if you get some rare drops because the people that want it can't get them. Only problem with it this time is everyone knows why they are doing it and it can't be shrouded in status like old HNM.

    Yah, that's what I figured too. Set an unsurmountable challenge with just enough sugar to keep ppl. at it... and u got content for ever.

    Voidwatch is fine apart from the poor loot distribution method. The Tier 3 fights are very difficult in their own right, even the best linkshells are struggling to win these so no pickup or shout group is ever going to beat these realistically.

    If you spend too much time trying to build lights the chances are you will time out so defeating the NM should really give you a loot pool at the end with a 100% drop of at least one of the armour items. Either this or allow to add to main pool in the same way gold pyxides work in abyssea.
