By that I mean people who intentionally go to other easier dungeons to -fail- reward and then when they have a big enough modifier go into the hard dungeon with the big reward they want. :PJoseph Skyrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734014925489857811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170161199375200085.post-20697104332108919332014-06-26T17:09:30.908-07:002014-06-26T17:09:30.908-07:00Hmm that's a pretty good way to go about it.

You get some random loot, which is useful for the beginner there, but of no interest for the veteran. At the same time, everybody gets a currency, which can only be gathered from those dungeons. With that cucrrency you buy the highest tier gear and upgrade it. <br /><br />As everybody gets the same reward each time you kill a boss, everybody in team is guaranteed his reward which effectively disposes of all the drama and DKP nonsense. Best choice ever. (Too bad that when the NY raid was created, all the competent designers just had a day off and thus that one again has random drops, but at there's no class-based gear, so the drama exists but is limited. )Sylownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170161199375200085.post-89219050213825233252014-06-20T03:47:36.324-07:002014-06-20T03:47:36.324-07:00I like quite a lot the system World of Warcraft is...I like quite a lot the system World of Warcraft is using these days in LFR and dungeons. You are only eligible for the loot that suits you by default. If you play a warrior, only plate, and if you are a protection warrior, then only tank gear.<br /><br />After the initial loot is handed, there comes a bonus roll that you can participate in if you have the required tokens. Tokens are easily obtained, and you can spend one token on the bonus roll each time you defeat a boss.<br />There is a chance you will get one of the desired items you are after, or you might get only gold.<br /><br />What this means is that those who did not get any loot, still have a chance to get something with bonus roll which is individual, and separated from the rest of the loot.Astalnarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832316971190028397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170161199375200085.post-64036349533998644782014-06-20T00:56:42.384-07:002014-06-20T00:56:42.384-07:00The RNG..

And a character that NEVER got anything.The annoyance when I had changed mains to that with bad RNG.<br /><br />So you suggest that we should see the chance we have on getting a drop? I all for getting a bonus to the RNG if your luck is bad if it would stay hidden. But not so I would like it to be visible tho, I like not knowing and would break some of the immersion for me.Maybe have the option of whether you want it on or not :)Skylar Irusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205137936443008173noreply@blogger.com
