The problem with raid legendary drops

[J11]

just something extra: If you read this and think ‘oh its only 1% of players’ then you are thinking about it wrong… These are the sort of mechanics that should be added throughout all the game… Not just ‘for the 1%’… At the same time… if you decide it is not worth it for the 1%… Remember that the 1% are playing the game considerable amounts of hours and the 1% are doing more than their usual part to help the community.

I really want the grinding system with lucky drops to be back, where you get a chance for every kill.

Sure one token per week, but what is the reasoning for only one lucky drop chance per week?

Especially now where you have to kill a specific boss to get the drop anyway, you might as well make that repeatable. You do the same work every time, why remove the reward?

Also that the 1% actually is more like 25% of active player base

[J11]

my headcount or by time played overall… because if by headcount then it is probably not true… but by timeplayed then i would say so yeah.

this is true, i raided 3 times a week for probably almost 3 months and i never got my legendary bow, however on my very first raid (back when I tanked) i got a legendary sword that was 100% percent useless to me because it was normal mode xD

Hard Mode Foil Armor discussion

also going to throw out the fact that the assumption that only 1% of the player base is going to get hard mode gear is flat out wrong.

the current active playerbase has not peaked above 100 in a long time, and the current average peak time player count is around 80. meaning that if only on average when a team of 10 completes a raid they make up over 10% of the total online player count

as for not concurrent average but actual total active players %, there would need to be 1000 players who consistently log on for it to be 1% of the player base who does hard mode. BUT thats only if one group is capable of completing hard mode. there are probably around 50 people who can do hardmode successfully(50 people without including other people being carried through the raid), meaning that there would need to be 5000 people at endgame to make these 50 people 1% of the player base.
I would be extremely surprised if there was more than 200 people regularly doing endgame(the number is probably sub 100) meaning that at the highest 25% of the population are able to complete hard mode.

so, in conclusion, 25%(atleast) now have no reason to do hardmore other than invisible stats
