You cancelled your pre order because you didn't get a drop that the preorder will make obsolete within a week?

[Causality]

If you need the boots as an upgrade, then you should spend some of your capped Poetics (Since you mentioned capping them) and purchase a pair of boots from the Poetics vendor. Use a carbontwine if you have one on them (From doing the weekly) and you will have a better set of boots than what drops in WoD.

With it only being one week from Official launch (3 days from early access), I wouldn't sweat farming gear from WoD unless you really need it to progress in 3.0 Main Scenario.

Since you said you are asking for help then i shall give some advice. Play in moderation. It's an MMO. RNG is always here to stay. Balance out your play time and grind the raid at a less vicious rate and before you know it... it might just finally drop in a run or two and pray you get the highest roll. Or do some other things in game rather then keep going at WOD again and again and again and completely kill a great game for yourself because you will end up hating it like you did before you posted this topic.

It's not worth it

A week? Come back when you see the instance behind your eyelids everytime you blink. Ran wod well over 100 times. Tank chest didn't want to drop. Enjoy the journey otherwise you will find yourself all geared up and wondering what the point was. The point is in the how. But yeah, poetics is your answer.

If you haven't done your entire relic, you don't know what RNG is lol. I've got Zeta, it's a pain the arse.

And honestly, like others have said, unless you're doing it just for the glamour, I'd just spend your poetics.

[Cirgellon]

lol @ the drama... Why not use those poetics to get the better gear anyways? I've run WoD a lot more than you and still haven't completed a set. How is that such a big deal? If you are going to quit over that, you never liked this video game anyways. You just need to go find a phone game that gives you shiney things. You'd be just as happy.

While there were plenty of trolls, the right answer was also in the thread as well. Poetics. That's what the tome system is for: you keep running content trying to get a drop but if you don't get the drop you want then you've been building tomes and can buy equivalent gear that's guaranteed. You're obviously not concerned about BiS cause the Demon boots of striking are not BiS so you're just looking for the higher ilvl from your current gear. That's accomplished with the Poetics with the added benefit of being able to upgrade to 130 with a carbontwine. Either that or you're just looking for the glamour but there are certainly other options.

Also in regards to HW tokens, I don't think you have to roll against everyone else. I believe it will be like the Shiva EX drop where everyone gets a token every kill, kill it a certain number of times and you're guaranteed your piece. I could be wrong, though.

thanks for the helpful answer dement.

EDIT: i knew about poetics and i was using it. But with gear tables being what they are, i was saving it for the right side upgrades which can not be obtained in WoD.
