After having killed Ivus 4 times in the previous cycle, coining 4 times, and receiving no gear... I began to realize the drop chance on his loot may be lower than previous World Bosses, having just obviously gone 0/8.
But after waiting for 2 weeks, and repeating the process with a 5th character in this cycle... killing Ivus 5 times, coining 5 times, and receiving only 1 item... my personal probability is sitting at 1/17 chance to get an item... *which sets a minimum of 5.88% chance to get an item.As with % there is no such thing as luck... there is only probability... this is probably the worst drop % probability of any World Boss in the game files second only to the Emerald Dragons, which have the recorded drop rates to back this up.
THAT'S A 5.88% CHANCE TO GET GEAR FROM A BOSS THAT "MAY" SPAWN EVERY 2 WEEKS... and is the only place currently in the game from which to retrieve raid level 400 loot outside of HEROIC raiding itself.
It also strongly argues that the "bad luck protection" of previous gearing systems is not even remotely in use here. As prior to killing Ivus I would complete several non-item-rewarding world quests to "push" that theoretical protection, similarly to how you could do in Legion (with obvious affect)... and saw zero implications it's currently in use.
I'm genuinely curious why Blizzard thinks a ~6% chance at gear ~2 times per MONTH is even remotely "rewarding." And am actually almost sickened to realize that it's this low of a drop chance.
I honestly can't see myself giving a ^&*! about this game for much longer... after having played for over 14 years, since Oct of '04.Blizzard has literally turned the World of Warcraft into a Nazi gambling hall.
It's 385. List below here is wrong. Edit: It's 400 now.
