I knew it was higher because incentive for 25 mans, but that's a full 150% higher per person than the 10 man drop rate. It really is mostly non-existent in 10-man raiding. It's a pretty awesome night if we see one piece of Warforged-equivalent loot.<br /><br />Keep in mind next expansion the concept of 10 man versus 25 man will disappear, and that drop-rate disparity should normalize. I hope it normalizes to the 10-man drop rate, however, because then it really is just a bonus.Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168597614461308610.post-2748369375685620372013-12-04T11:20:18.426-08:002013-12-04T11:20:18.426-08:00Warforged is absolutely expected in 25 man raids. ...Warforged is absolutely expected in 25 man raids. In fact, they average 1.25 Warforged items per kill.<br /><br />Amusingly, though, it's assumed to be non-existent in 10 man raids (where you average 0.2 Warforged items per kill).<br /><br />"it absolutely 100% ensures that no player will ever be fully kitted out in a BiS gear set."<br /><br />Why is this a generally positive thing? I know a ton of people who are incredibly frustrated with it because they LIKED feeling like they collected their set of items. Remember this has nothing to do with reasons for running the content since you listed that as a separate reason.<br /><br />Feels like we're piling loot RNG on top of loot RNG on top of loot RNG.Balkothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425374556730828853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168597614461308610.post-55050521746883975002013-12-04T08:01:59.961-08:002013-12-04T08:01:59.961-08:00I'm with Talarian, all Blizzard has really don...I'm with Talarian, all Blizzard has really done here is to ensure that no player will ever be fully kitted out in BiS. That has two effects, both generally positive... it gives a reason, even if a pretty silly one, to keep running content, and it absolutely 100% ensures that no player will ever be fully kitted out in a BiS gear set. Even just looking at TF and gems, assuming 10% for each, that's a 1% chance of a drop having both and you'd need that in all 13 (15? Whatever...) slots to be "done". Won't happen so it's no longer something to actually chase since it can't actually be accomplished. Getting one will be a neat perk when it happens, not a "Welp, 12 more to go!" list scratch.Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168597614461308610.post-26484418885390244652013-12-03T14:41:03.750-08:002013-12-03T14:41:03.750-08:00Hmm, I don't know.

Though, perhaps Thunderforged gear was required in all slots before the next tier of raiding dropped, but that's a different story.Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.com
