FIX World of Darkness loot drop rate

[jlewiss]

Fun fact: due to the loot lockout you don't necessarily need to run as the class the gear is for. I've gotten two pieces of tank gear and one piece of dragoon gear while running as BLM. The people on those jobs are likely looking for a very specific piece and won't be rolling need unless they really want it since they can only get one item a week. And other people won't roll greed on anything they don't really want for the same reason. The very first run I did, it was the tank body that dropped and only one other person rolled greed (and the tank already had his drop for the week). My other two pieces were uncontested even though there was a dragoon in the run where I got the dragoon piece.

yes well if you've already done 10-20 runs of wod every week and haven't seen the item you want drop since 2.5 was released and you're only after that one specific piece of gear i'm willing to bet you're not gonna risk it.

If I'm after a specific piece of gear I'll keep trying for it throughout the week til right up at the end of it, then I'll just lot the first thing that drops that I don't have but could use.

See, that's a problem right there. I understand the duty finder system grabs anyone who is available for the raid, but there should be a step that reorganizes the group to eliminate possible redundancy. I had a LotA once where Alliance A had 4 bards, B had 4 spellcasters, and C was 3 dragoons and a monk.

This issue is well over a year old by now, so no chance they will improve the duty finder in 2.X. Let's just hope that they have a new loot system for 3.0, or with three new classes being added things will be super messy.

Fair enough, but this will help alleviate the fact that some gear just sits and rots.

I have little patience for the 24-man raids. So, I roll on everything except for Ninja/monk gear since I don't have those leveled yet. Plus, I just don't have time to run that more than twice a week or so.

So SE, done 40 WoD since patch and the scouting belt has not dropped once. I am wondering, how many runs are you suppose to do till you get an item you actually want? I don't see a counter anywhere, if you could point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

RNGesus does not reward those without faith. Nor does it reward those with faith. It gives you hope with one hand and then crushes your hopes and dreams with the other. RNGesus laughs at your puny mortal notions of fairness.

Apparently whining and complaining on forums works, belt just dropped. I should do this again for my next run.

Indeed it does, after two weeks of grinding for that delicious crit+det fending chest I made a rant post in one of the other threads about WoD not dropping what people wanted and then in the next run I did I got my chest.

Also complaining in /fc works for gathering maps if you haven't seen the type you're after in 20 minutes

It has probably dropped on a lot of the runs you have done you were just in the wrong group.
