Not a huge fan of the new dungeon in 5.3 for loot.

I don't know... about other players.. but with the new dungeon for 5.3 I find it frustrating that the loot is all random. You never know if your gear will drop or it will be nothing but junk accessory's... or other classes that you have to fight over with three other players... and by the time the dungeon is over, you're not even guaranteed a piece of gear for your class ....like in violet tides.

I LOVE the look of the armor this patch because I adore the Ascians....so I've been farming non stop and I still don't have a complete set for anything for that matter... I've been lucky to win gear here and there... but I rarely see coats drop or masks drop...or boots. It's usually just earnings, pants... and gloves.

I feel like it would just be easier if you were guaranteed a drop of your class by the end so you didn't waste your time and energy going into something to farm and just come out empty handed on multiple occasions. That's all I ask, so if your farming for glam you at least come out with something... and don't have empty runs...

it's like this in all level cap dungeons. only leveling dungeons have the guaranteed drop

That's how it's always been.

I do think it would be cool if they made it so dungeons from previous expansions dropped coffers instead of individual gear, at least for the postgame dungeons. I understand they gotta have the grind for current content, but would be a nice relief if they helped you get stuff from older content a bit faster.

Yeah, I really want to see some improvement to the gear drops for the old endgame dungeons. Whether it's coffers or guaranteed drops or some kind of tokens, it would free up so much glamour dresser space for the "I don't have a use for this now but I may never see it again if I discard it" sort of items.

I've been hoping for some kind of token item to be added to chests at the end of a duty, like with EX trials and current 'normal' raids, so you can collect them after running the duty a bunch and buy an item from said duty with it. That way you still have to run it at least a few times just for that one item, and if you're somehow unlucky with having it drop you can just go buy it.

There's been a handful of dungeons I've run dozens of times and never even saw the loot I wanted, to a point where I just gave up. I don't think that's a system that works.

Have you considered running Trusts through it? I know this takes longer because of the NPCs not as hard on dps, but everything that drops is yours.

Unfortunately that doesn't always make a huge difference. I did that the first run through and got almost entirely accessories for jobs I didn't even need them for. I may have gotten a single set of gloves during that entire run and no other actual armour.

You're right, i was just trying to suggest if they were willing to grind for it. I do kinda wish they had something different in place.

Yeah, I mean if you want to just run it over and over again and not really worry about paying a lot of attention, running it with trusts while half-occupying yourself with something else is still an option. Unfortunately it's no more effective in terms of loot drop.

I can't run it with trusts..... there not high level enough and I can't be asked to waste my time leveling something that takes longer then with players :/
