I agree, VW is here to waste as much time as possible so that SE can fix other issues/add new things while keeping us busy.

What kills me is we're meant to spend cruor on these cells that supposedly increases the drop rate of items (at least the ruby ones), but with or without the cells, the drop rate is just as bad. I'm sure I'm not the only one to waste a ton of cruor on these things before now where I'm just saving them for the T3s and up, and hoping against hope it gets me something. Now, I have gotten some of the rarer pieces from VW, but I can't honestly tell if the cells had anything to do with it.

I've pretty much given up on Walk of Echoes, which has the same crappy loot system. At least VW is more fun and challenging, so it's still worth to do....but really, after you've seen the same person get his fifth Strendu Ring or Ganesha's Mala, and you're still getting those logs and ingots....let's just say no one feels "compensated" for anything.
