We understand that you may feel the pressure of time to get these items, but don't panic! There is still a good amount of time to keep trying.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. The constant feedback from the item team that the abysmal drop rates throughout the game are "a-ok" is the single most worrisome thing heading into ARR. I'm fairly certain the only people who would continue playing ARR if everything still takes a ridiculous amount of time and mostly just plain dumb luck (rather than skill) would be a subset of the ones currently suffering through 1.x. Probably a pretty small one unless this mentality becomes a relic of the "old game", and the item team stops feeling that the players need to hate themselves for suffering through this kind of nonsense to get anything, be it of value or not.
