Thats why you are able to trade items in dungeon - tell the group what you want, they will tell what they have from boss and give it to you if you need.

I did 17 Icereach runs in 2 days and farmed ll parts of titanborn i wanted.

I have a large enough sample size from gear farming to be fairly convinced that the drops are indeed random, and not in any devious "artificial unintelligence" manner biased towards dropping the wrong thing.

However, one person I used to play with would disagree based on his own experiences: he ended up rage quitting the entire game after running his 50th farm run through Lair of Maarselok (no kidding, 50 runs, I was there for maybe 10-15 of them and he did nothing else in the game for two weeks) and still not having seen a single one-handed Azureblight weapon of *any* kind drop for *anyone* in the groups he ran with. The bitter irony is that I got at least two 1H weapons from there when I ran with others, so from my point of view the statistics are balanced. As for him from his perspective, not so much.

With so many players in the game, some people will be unlucky, and they will complain and be very vocal about it. Against that background, it would be nice if there was a way to get a guaranteed drop for some specific item after you completed a crazy amount of unsuccessful farm runs. A direct example would be if the person I described got a voucher after his 50th run which could be redeemed for one item of choice from the possible drops in that dungeon. 50 runs is brutal, and perhaps that number is a bit too high, but having even that ludicrously small return of investment would have made him stay in the game.

Random drops make people spend more time with the game, I get it, but breaking the randomness beyond a certain point helps only the most extremely unlucky minority, in a way that gives them no unfair advantage, and does not noticeable affect the average drop rate.

Yes trading does help! I just find it funny sometimes how the odds play out. I really am not meaning to complain just a little sarcasm.

I'm only semi-dedicated at dungeonering, so I'm usually more amused than annoyed when all I'm getting for a desirable set are shoulders, helms, gear slots I already have/am using for other sets and weapons that horribly mismatch the build they're made for.

After 30+ runs of City of Ash I have yet to acquire a Burning Spellweave Inferno staff. I've gotten a powered resto staff, infused lightning staves, defending ice staves, etc, etc, etc.... Even a whole set of divines and impenetrable BSW armor..... That staff though eludes me.

There needs to be a token system. If you beat a dungeon hardmode you get 1 token. After you have a certain amount, you can take a portal to a room with a series of chests that each have a random-traited drop of each set piece in the dungeon and you can pick one.
