The way loot drops in normal mode is one of the weakest aspects of the game. OP, your situation is an outlier, but I remember on week 1 having to run the second boss 7 times before I got what I wanted. It sucks.


Honestly, I'd be happy if there was just Raid Tokens that drop from every boss, to every participating player, guaranteed. One per boss, for a max of four per week. Keep the current exchange rates. So you do the four bosses, then you exchange for whatever you want. Yes, it leads to less re-runs (and so less playtime, which is important to developers), but it would make normal raids so much less frustrating.
