    Anyone else getting seriously aggrivated by the alexander normal loot system?

    Can barely run it with friends since everyone needs different drops from different turns.
    Have to run it 5-15 times each turn depending on your rolls and what drops for every turn.
    And it's a weekly system so if you want to keep up you have to do this every week.

    It's just a tedious time waster that you can't even enjoy with your friends.
    I hate it.

    I pretty much stopped running it because of it. I'm better off farming esoterics anyway.

    Im fine with running it fifteen times as long as it's not three months for just one chest piece.

    At this point there are eso tome gear which is better. If you want it for glam you can take your time not like you need to rush to get useless gear (since you cannot dye it to make it pretty). They have already stated that the system was flawed and savage has not been out long enough (let alone cleared much at all) to have people have thoughts on that system.

    I like the new system. Prefer this over running it a billion times and never even seeing my drop.

    Oh, you have no idea.

    A4 took two attempts this week.
    A1 took TWENTY TWO attempts, 5 of those were with a PUG designed to get everyone loot.
    A2 is going on 9 attempts as I type this, no loot yet.
    I did 1 attempt on A3, no loot.

    The RNG of dropping an item you want at all, combined with the fact that you're rolling against a much larger than usual pool of other players is a recipe for statistical disaster.

    I'm glad that Savage's loot system has a safety net, and if they don't improve upon this system for the next Normal raid, I won't be running it, plain and simple.

    There ARE other alternatives to the 2 things you mentioned. It doesn't have to be this, or the old way.

    I didn't say there wasn't. I was just stating I prefer this to say BcoB.

    World of Darkness had it fine: finish a weekly, get your trinket. Done and done. No need to lot a dozen times against other players for the same thing. Make one weekly for each floor or something, that keeps things fair without requiring an absolutely embarrassing amount of grinding.
