Suggestion: Fangbreaker Relic Gear Drop-Rate Increase

Hello,

With Mod 10 in the past, do you think it's about time to increase the droprate of relic gear in FBI? We're about on Mod 11b now, and I know of many people, myself included, who have only managed to collect 1 or 2 of the Mod 10 gear. Personally, I've only managed to collect one piece, that being the armpiece. My own RNG horror story is that I haven't seen a relic gear drop of any sort, since 2016 and at this point, I'm starting to believe that I'm bugged. I know it's probably just rng being rng, but after three plus months with no relic drops at all, it's becoming a bit disconcerting.

Even more frustrating is that simply getting a drop at all is only part of long process of gearing up:

1. Have an item level of at least 3100 and enough everfrost resistance
2. Be lucky to get a relic drop
3. Hope it's the one you need
4. Farm (or buy) materials for restoration
5. Run MSVA weekly for the Testimonies needed to vifivy your gear (Chestpiece takes 3 weeks?)

We recently received a droprate increase for orange marks in SVA, and some more interesting loot in dungeon chests, which is lovely, but I don't recall reading anywhere that relic gear was affected. I've heard suggestions on the forums about a seal system similar to elven/alliance gear, or being able to choose which gear you want at the end of the dungeon, which are all nice suggestions.

I know this is just another RNG complaint thread of sorts, but I know many players who struggle to even get into FBI runs, and without being able to farm this dungeon reliably, these players are in a worse situation than I am.

Thanks for listening :)

    The relic armor do drop in master spellplague now. Guess that's the way the devs make it more available.
    Since it is end game armor and there is no new set on the horizon, my guess is the devs won't make it easier to get. They want people to have something to grind for.
    It's not really a must have armor. I myself is doing fine with the elemental drow set as I don't do that kind of grind.

    I think it was cheezy to have relic gear drop in MSP. Something new, perhaps equivalent to relic, should have been implemented. Relic gear is empowered by stuff from the northern climes, and has bonuses for EF areas.... Shouldn't gear from MSP have bonuses for either everywhere or in spellplagued areas???
