People get around that anyways with tag sharing though, which they haven't nerfed (yet). Either they just haven't gotten around to swinging the nerf bat at it, or they're fine with it in which case they should just cut out the middle man entirely.

The loot might be good, but it's not the greatest and you still only 1 shot at it a week. Compare that to Sha which drops tier (only 2 pieces, but that's amazing), which is up every 20 minutes or w/e.

Galleon doesn't waste your drop chance with pvp gear and all his loot is better than LFR.

I seriously doubt Blizzard is okay with tag sharing but they have bigger, more fundamental problems with Galleon than that.

Pretty sure blizz is entirely fine with Galleon.

It was intended to make people not camp it because it sucks so incredibly hard to camp. I'm pretty sure (at least I would fucking hope so) that guys that have been huge players (lolpun) in the mmo scene since EQ1 realized that some people were going to camp it anyways.

My guild has missed one Galleon spawn since the start of MoP, I have 13 kills rofl. Still no mount on our server tho.

Didn't give us loot rolls, but it did let me use a coin which I got a neck from lol.

Meng came third for us.

also BG is fun as fuck

**The Stig** · 2012-12-05 07:34

Why is it changed to a specified order? I enjoyed it (on normal mode) when it wasn't. Seems more fun that way. I guess he can be a dick in heroic though. Never done it/never read about it.

---

At the risk of my own sanity/reputation (I might do this on an Alt account instead though, but I've never posted or logged into the official forums before so I don't know how it actually works) I was thinking of submitting this idea/suggestion to Blizzard in regards to LFR loot/items. I thought I'd post it here first to get some feedback before I go get ass raped by some autistic official forums hardcore casual self-entitlement guy:

Currently the way loot is distributed is extremely random. Players doing LFR or players who are only able to do LFR can get lucky or unlucky depending on what the game feels like throwing at them. As a result, some may do LFR repeatedly, every week, and have nothing or very little to show for it.

To alleviate this I am suggesting a new currency (tokens) to be implemented. These tokens, when collected, can be used to purchase LFR pieces from a vendor. The token is awarded to you each time you kill a boss or complete the whole LFR to the end, but only once a week.

This serves 2 benefits:

1. Players who instantly leave if they find themselves in a LFR already in progress might see it as beneficial to finish it
2. Players who find themselves in a fresh LFR but who do not need gear from the last boss might see it as beneficial to stay and finish it to collect a token

The token is to compensate the ones with extremely bad luck, even with charm usage. In a way, it's an extension to the Charms system, but within LFR only. There's currently what, 5 LFRs at the moment. So assume a piece of LFR quality gear costs 10 tokens, then 2 weeks of LFR will gaurantee you at least one piece of gear if your luck is really that bad.

How much to assign per gear is up for discussion of course, as well as whether it should cost less for the MSV raids due to their lower iLvl. I understand that Blizzard doesn't want someone getting gear too quick. Or should cost be determined by boss. For Sha of Fear gear might cost slightly more due to the nature and powerfulness of the gear around it (for any plate wearer, I believe that 2-handed is Best in Slot, especially if legendary gemmed. This is just assumption)

The reason why I came up with it? Besides the shitty luck factor. Well I was reading the Neo-Nyzul Isle system and how floor 20/40/60/80 bosses grants you a token/currency, which if 20 (clarification required) is collected, allows you to select a piece of the next tier of your choice. I was thinking a system like this might improve LFR queues in general when it comes to people raging about it. So with enough time and work, over a period, you can accomplish what you wanted to accomplish. To some this could be just a chance to get the current tier gear for collection/transmog/general use of course.

Of course, you'll still get people who'll rage anyway and also I can see this discussion falling into the cesspool that is "OMG I'M FORCED TO DO LFR".

**Plow** · 2012-12-05 07:37

feel free to post it next to the 5000 other threads suggesting that, and the 50000000 threads suggesting other ways to "fix" lfr

**The Stig** · 2012-12-05 07:46

I was actually digging around on the forum for a suggestion page but couldn't find it (on the EU side)! I wanted to see if anyone actually tried that lol. They probably have but in a lot less intelligent way, I dunno.

**Boyiee** · 2012-12-05 12:33

I think LFR is fine.

**Correction** · 2012-12-05 14:57

I don't think I'm getting loot any faster or slower in the new LFR loot system than the old one. The difference is less frustration at people rolling on shit they don't need to pass on to others, so mission fucking accomplished. I don't expect to be maxxed out on gear from any particular tier of content before the next tier is released, that's just how WoW has been since Vanilla. Random numbers are random and the idea that you still have something to acquire in game is the carrot that is constantly dangled in front of any MMO player.

The token suggestion is basically a regression back to the Burning Crusade/Wrath Badge of Justice system, where every tier had a new 'badge' type that bought gear on the same level as the current raiding tier. It sucked.
