I'm not saying "add to pool" is the answer but calling it retarded compared to the worst loot system in any game ever made seems pretty silly.
The drop rate in this game for top tier items has always been shit, and that's exactly what we're talking about for VW, current top tier items. Are you some sort of modern day Sherlock Holmes being able to release this golden nugget of information for people? See: Salvage, Kings, Sea, basically the entire end game for the games long history. They're meant to be rare, you're supposed to be extremely lucky or extremely dedicated to get them.

It's actually one of the best loot pool concepts they've put into this game. It does away with the need for people to manage DKP, avoids ninja lotting, avoids drama over items. It's very elegant really. People being butthurt over drop rates doesn't make it a bad loot system. You also have to prise your minds off the vapid concept that you somehow should be entitled to something from someone else's loot pool, when it's clearly been designed as an individual system.

If drop rates suck, they suck, SE will adjust them (like they said actually) if they feel it's the right time and it won't change the game balance too much.
