RNG BoP sucks so much.

I've run vWGT over 100 times by now. Probably even over 200. I don't know; I stopped counting a long time ago. I've run it so many times that my helm mule has 14 Kena helms.

I've gotten three infused SPC chest pieces, three divines SPC chest pieces, and a number of SPC chest pieces of other traits that I've deconned but zero SPC shoulder piece of any trait (not that I was planning to ever use the shoulder piece; I mention it solely for illustrative purposes). I've gotten three divines Imperium sabatons and a divines footwear of all the other sets, but zero divines SPC shoes (the one piece of SPC that I use that still isn't divines).

If you had gotten rid of this BoP nonsense, I could've traded those excess chest pieces for shoes. If you had a token system that actually made sense--instead of a token system that just granted yet another roll of **** RNG--then I would've gotten the pieces that I care about instead of yet another perfect-trait piece of something that I have multiple copies. If you had increased the drop rate, a stupid BoP RNG system wouldn't feel quite so bad. Take your pick. But do something about it.

@Wrobel

I've ran WGT close to 80 times now, have had 1 helmet drop, 4 piece of Overwhelming, 4 pieces of spell power cure, loadssssss of essence theif and loadssssss of tanking gear.

I've had a few more Overwhelming and SPC pieces but all in bad traits.

Its a pain in the a** to get to those pieces, especially for pvp players like me. I gave up a long time ago, making all new sets BoP is just stupid as hell as you'll have to grind forever to get a 5 piece bonus (with wrong traits ofc).

Just make them tradeable, let them drop in chest and in rewards of the worthy. I literary don't know a single person than runs a whole set of those, and IC is barealy played these days. Horrible design there over all..

PLS fix!

At the very LEAST remove the laughable traits from the loot pool. ZOS knows no-one wants well fitted. It's only there to make RNG more frustrating.

If you are a casual player who can at least afford to do 1 run per day - you will NEVER EVER ACCOMPLISH FULL SET WITH GOOD TRAITS.

To illustrate this point, I know a few healers who would absolutely love to own Spell Power Cure gear to raid and pledge with, but simply cannot obtain it due to being gainfully employed. They run when they are able, and I stay positive in hopes of good rng in their presence. They haven't lucked out so far. The thread in this forum discussing Scathing Mage's effectiveness/behavior and comparisons to other sets comes from the same core complaint. The ICP/WGT sets are interesting, worth running for many builds, and simply unobtainable to all but the elite. That's getting 5 pieces in the right slots, forget ideal traiting.

Stoopid drop chance? OK.
Well-fitted? OK.
But just GET RID OF BIND-ON-PICKUP so I can stop deconstructing all those poopy VR16 Purple Divines Trinimac stuff. They're really just junk, won't give me more stamina or weapon damage, so why even design those sets?

//Stamblade sarcasm mode - off

I don't even talk about IC dungeons sets. I just behave like they don't exist. That makes me happier, knowing that whenever I need new Hunding set, I can get Hunding set. I need Agility Rings? I can get Agility rings. And being happy and entertained is the reason people play games. There's a set that disintegrates your enemies when you sneeze? When you get million different pieces of it because that's required for it to work?

Nopity nope, Dis One wears her Hunding, which makes her look pretty AND awesome at the same time.

You know the reason why almost every theorycrafter uses Hunding-Night Mother as their base? Because why theorycraft builds with sets that - as I said - does not exist?


Good example - I needed "I poop fire" set for my Dunmer DK Pyromancer. I search for "I poop fire" set. I find it. I obtain it. I PLAY MAH GAME!

I don't even know where these set pieces drop, some trial or somthn', lol.

Thanks Khamira that brings me to another point... this is a game we spend a TON of time around work, family, life etc and the sets and what they achieve help you to have fun playing the game. Grinding for sets and getting disappointed is not fun, you take the fun out of the game and suddenly it starts to feel less of a game you want to spend time in, MMOs need devoted amounts of time so lets bring back the fun of actually getting sets, trying those sets out in different combinations with friends/groups and the fun I've selling them to friends so they too can experience the fun... hey sales of ingame sets by losing the BoP may actually encourage people to buy the DLC too!

I wish they would change all weapons/armor to have a trait gem socket so that if you want to change a trait, you just take it to a crafting station and fit it with a new trait gem. Hell, some really rare items could have multiple gem sockets.
