    Crystal Tower/Labrynth of the Ancients/World of Darkness loot quantity

    Due to these being old-content raids, it's high time you guys increase the number of drops in the loot table for each boss to be 3-4 items like Alexander. Sometimes it takes an hour or longer to queue for these raids, and it's frustrating when only 1 item drops per boss and it isn't the glamour you want.

    1. First, I agree that the quantity does need to be upped. Three items per boss for 24 players is not enough, especially while the content is, as you say, outdated. That said...
    2. 3-4 per boss per 8 players is too much, when they aren't currency. The reason Alexander bosses drop 3-4 pieces per 8 players is because the drops aren't gear, but rather currency for gear that you need to farm in order to buy gear.

    Currency for -relevant gear-.

    Crystal tower is no longer relevant from a power perspective and items from there are now solely for vanity and fun. 3-4 per boss is a fine number seeing as you get 2+ items from boss chests in regular dungeons.

    Another thing they could do is to make it so it only drops items that match the players that are playing i.e. if no dragoons are playing it would remove dragoon gear from the loot list for that party. Although if you had 4-5 ninjas that would still be pretty bad for most of the players.
