    FIX World of Darkness loot drop rate

    The title is pretty clear, but just in case it wasn't: I only see scouting gear. I have raided that dungeon uncountable times and never been able to get anything. It's everything but enjoyable and looking at how often people leave as soon as they get their weekly loot, it is obvious that something is wrong.

    Also, with so many people leaving, even when you end in a party where You are the only caster/dragon/bard or whatever in the end with all the replacements going on You would always have somebody with whom compete with the results that game experience is everything but enjoyable.

    Please, I think you can easily check the "quit rate" and see that this is getting insane. Do something to improve the loot rate and the game experience.

    Yup, I'm frustrated.

    This week I joined a group in progress at the cloud of darkness fight and the blm boots popped. The very 1st time I had even ever seen them in WoD. I won the roll and got my prize.

    Last week, 1st Wod run of the week, join in progress... BLM gloves. 1st time I had seen them in WoD as well. Got my prize.

    unfrustrated.

    (I won't talk about the 1st week of WoD lol (took me about 15-20 runs to get my blm coat never once seeing a BLM item until the coat pop)

    Still unfrustrated.

    I have seen and passed on on alot of other gear including scouting gear.

    I've done WoD 17 times trying to get the healer gloves/pants and have only gotten the head/body/belt. That said, in those 17 runs I've only seen one single piece of scouting gear, the pants, so RNG is RNG. The rest of the drops were a mix of mnk/drg/caster mostly.

    You're a victim of the random number generator. I've done WoD at least 3 times a week since it launched and have only seen one piece of scouting gear. In fact my spread of loot has been pretty even across all roles.
    It's not broken, you just have bad luck. Seriously.

    Funny, I've seen scouting and striking hands drop more times than I'd like to admit. Done about two dozen runs with my girlfriend trying to get her healer hands and still no dice.

    This behavior is not new to WoD. People did the same for the initial gear lockouts for CT and ST as well. As long as RNG exists, the mentality of "see if I get it and leave" will exist. Not much anyone can really do about that. They could increase the lockout timer for dropping a group, but that's a piss-poor solution to an issue that isn't all that big of a deal.

    I have a theory of SE possibly making it so that each chest has two gear drops instead of just one to slightly lessen some of the RNG strain, but I know better than to think that would ever happen.

    Can't fix what isn't broken - I've gotten the bard body on two different characters (one on a greed roll), and everyone around me is complaining about it.

    The way they need to *fix* this is to make each treasure chest drop 2 pieces of loot every time and apply that to ALL raids.

    Nothing is more frustrating then running something X amount of times and seeing the same crap drop over and over again.

    The only WoD droprate that needs adjusting is the minion.
