Loot Drop Changes to RNG

There has GOT to be a change to farming gear and the RNG system.
One shouldn't run Arx Corinium 231 times and STILL fail to get a Medusa Ice Staff.
The fact that this fails to drop within 50 runs is a problem, but there is no way one should fail to get a specific set piece in 200+ runs.
Something has to change. A token system for item sets or something.
Because this isn't working.
This isn't enjoyable content, this makes me want to cancel my sub and drop the game entirely. Because it isn't enjoyable.

✭A token system would def help with frustration and burnout grind.
With a token system, all your runs would at least be progressing towards getting the gear you want instead of it all going to waste and causing you to hate the game then leave it.2 -

Exactly. The RNG system they have is broken and ridiculous. There should be zero possible way that a person runs a dungeon 250 times and not get the item they want. That's not content, that's nonsense

davidj8291✭✭✭✭✭Meanwhile, ZOS ignores everything related to it.
No help or consideration to changes, nothing.
Funnier to me is that they claim to have no control over the loot tables yet once Brittle is introduced, an ice staff from the one set that benefits from Brittle most is no where to be found.0 -

You can improve your chances if you run with friends/guildys and do vet instead norm. Vet has higher tier chests and thus better chances for set items. Also your friends are more likely to share their loot than pugs.1 -
Stinkyremy✭✭✭✭✭The perfect solution is to limit drops for each player to items that are not yet in your sticker book.
Chests are still random and when you finish the sticker book for the specific dungeon and trial it goes back yto the crappy RNG it has been since launch.
It really is not fair that someone can be playing this game for 7 years and not get a BSW inferno staff to drop.
I want to collect every set of gear but I don't want to be having to farm fungal grotto 1 7000 times for a viper dagger or some crap.1 -

So you want RNG that's not really RNG?
You probably got a lot of Ice staves when Medusa was a decon set, and now the game is taking its revenge on you.The Moot Councillor0 -

This, especially re: running it on vet. You'll never get anything lower than an intermediate chest and given AC spawns more chests than I've ever seen in a dungeon before (I've had a run that had 5 chests once) you then have an even greater chance.
I'd also suggest to make sure you've levelled antiquities enough to get the passive that highlights chests, makes it even easier not to miss something, although I also get that is a painful grind if you haven't.0
