    Explain how you got to this conclusion please. Because, unless the last week has been a hazy dream to me, they've already announced enough of Legion to know that's not the case. The only thing that isn't confirmed yet is the actual drop rate of the NMs in there, which has nothing to do with the loot distribution (which is also known) and is only a part of the overall spoils of the event. And even if the actual drop rate was as bad as HQ VW drops, it would still be a lot better overall, because you can do several NMs each run. A 1% drop chance would thus turn into a 10% drop chance, during the course of the run. Which means, every 10 runs (every five hours of doing the content) on average you should see a HQ item drop. It may sound a lot to some people still, but I can't honestly say that I would be complaining about it. And that's still assuming only a 1% chance, we'll have to see how it actually pans out.

    Some how I imagine Legion will be like Nyzul Isle, only with nothing but NMs. They will all be NMs that exist in other events, and they will have an incredibly low drop rate. You will get points that you can use on some generic sets of gear, but actual drops will be incredily rare. Just a prediction though.

    This may be a stupid question, but isn't it already on the test server? I'm not, so I can't say.

    The content is up, but the rewards are not. Current reports are that it's hard to accomplish much with the size and quality of group that can be assembled on the test server, so even if the rewards were implemented, I doubt anyone could obtain them.

    As far as I know, the monsters are basically everything large and disgruntled but with generic names based on the chamber. Lofty Behemoth, Mired Hydra, Soaring Vampyr, Veiled Amphiptere, Soiled Trousers, Dividing Cancer Cell, etc.
