Few weeks into the expansion and we have been raiding and running tons of mythic plus. It’s becoming increasingly clear how rare loot is in Shadowlands with more mythic plus awarding 1 maybe 2 pieces of loot. Even in a raid setting with 20 people in raid you may get between 1-3 items and in a 15 man team you’ll usually get 0-2 pieces. This I would normally say is perfectly okay, however because of the trade system players are exploiting that to buy carries and funnel themselves gear. Where normally it would take you several weeks to get all the items you may want for heroic raids they are pretty much doing it in their first week. In previous expansions we had mythic plus to help us if we wanted to put the work in and gear that way but now in the shadowlands on top of the loot being scarce, you will not be able to get items anywhere near heroic/mythic raid items. That not only devalues Mythic plus but also overall hurts casual players. Eventually leading players to feel like they have been strongly left behind they are more likely to end up quitting. There is already a gearing problem because of loot scarcity and every week the LFG/LFR systems are gonna want players higher and higher ilvls. The Weekly Vault system is great but if you’re going to give us that many potential options you might as well let us pick what we want at some point, maybe when we unlock all 9.
