    This new loot ststem for Ales is beyond pathetic.

    So after 100 kills for springs (not just t3) and still no healer pants, it has started to dawn on me that this loot system is actually waaaaay worse than the old one. You know, way back when raids actually dropped loot. Having to win rolls against entire parties when your drop actually shows up multiple times per week multiple weeks versus going until something drops once and you roll against maybe one person seems like it would be a no brainer. The amount of rng that goes into this new system is completely infuriating. I have killed t3 close to 50 times and watch about 30 people get their spring so far. That is for one spring. 1/4 of a piece of gear. I don't ever remember having to farm like this for one piece of gear before. Can someone pass the message along that maybe raids should I dunno, drop loot again.

    If you've put that much time in, it tells me that you are quite dedicated to this game.
    That begs the question. Why don't you have a static group to run with until you all get drops?
    You only need this gear for Alex Savage, and you need a static to make any meaningful progress on Alex Savage.

    Was it 100 times or 50 times? Your number is going down quick. By the time I finish typing it, will it be 25?

    New loot is coming tuesday also, why do you need these pants bad enough to go through that?

    This week or in total? And yea, new loot. Tomes and more Alex. I can only imagine the fun of farming savage for tokens like we are doing now.

    Just make a farm party. We've been getting everything we want in a couple of hours farming doing the Alex farms with a FC/PF pug pre-made parties.

    It's better than the old WoD system for sure, but it's still not good. I can understand it's really frustrating to df it; hence why I don't even bother, but just form a farm party instead.

    You can only clear once per week. Also make PF groups with "run until everyone has token", done. Most often, not the system is the problem because the system offers possibilities to do it efficient but the player is the problem, because he doesn't utilize the possibilities. Stop sucking, become happy.

    PF groups are the only real way to go for these dungeons. Just make "run at least 4 times so everyone can get loot". Little over an hour later everyones set for the week on that floor.

    Then go 8 times still better than 100 like OP claims to have done. Maybe 2 hours for 8 runs or less if the party is very good.
