Solution for Unlucky Bonus Roll Streaks ?

Unread post by AdamSavage »

Noticed this tweet on my cell. If they do come up with something like this, I think it would encourage people like myself to use LFR more.
One of the ideas mentioned in the interviews was a increasing chance to win something to offset unlucky streaks, and Cory Stockton shared a little more about it today!

I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

That would be nice for me, who has at least 9 kills on both The Will of the Emperor and Lei Shi each, with a bonus roll each time, and no ranged weapon has dropped. I'm still stuck with an upgraded 463 bow.

Can this apply to my actual raiding? I can't even begin to explain my guild's horrid RNG we've had in raids since Cataclysm.

Is there one Shield available in the whole tier as a boss drop? We're never seeing it and our tanks are working all the more harder for it.
Ranged Weapon? Same thing (thank goodness for LFR bumping up my chances a tiny bit for a lesser ilvl version)
The caster cloak we could use about 3 of? Those agi bracers I only ever will need one of? It drops. And again...and again...... and again... every single week the same exact loot over and over again.
Cloth boots with spirit? Hey, dropped off the first boss of Heart of Fear! ... And the second dropped a different pair... and GARALON DROPPED A THIRD DIFF-- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I've always wanted to send a ticket of just how ridiculous it is but I feel like no one would believe me in a million years.

I've been some what lucky in that I have gotten a fair number of drops out of LFR. Got my gun from Lei Shi, but until last week I only had 1 t14 piece (pants). Finally got a 2nd (shoulders). The rest of my drops - like 6 belts. Since LFR loot is a personal roll, once you've won a piece of loot, and it is choosing what to give you from the loot table for your class, how about weighting the roll so you are less likely to get the same drop over and over. Either that or make it so my hunter can wear 6 belts!
