Not a single valuable drop, this is including a lockbox or two a day. Best thing maybe SMOP. I can not get a legendary ring to drop either. I run dungeons as well, I would estimate somewhere between 15-20 a week, and this is what I get? A big pile of nothing. I guess my RNG is just trash? Its getting hella discouraging. In these past 6 months I have managed to get to 2.8k, on my main. Been grinding the last month for perfect vorpal.
Is this all I have to look forward too? Running the same dungeons CN ELOL and EDEMO, for some mythical plus 5 ring to drop? Queuing pvp out of sheer boredom and getting wrecked by 4k pre made groups. Grinding forever for such little reward? Cryptic Figure out how to lower the prices on everything in AH. Preferably by raising the freaking drop rates!!!!Some of us have lives, and don't want to waste 200$ on getting my twisted set to legendary ( its probably even more ). I don't mind forking up a little cash if I feel like the game is going in the right direction ( probably spent 100$ in 6 months ). But I feel just the opposite. Fix these issues, for the love of Neverember, fix these issues.

Now for lockboxes... Been around a year i play, lets say i became VIP as soon as the VIP system was installed, think i may have miss 1 key or 2 because i was out of town and couldn't play on that day, but thats it and so far the best i got was epic companion pack. Just once. I got around 4 superior marks, never a diamond, a few blue mounts, 1 couple artifact (1 horn from old boxes for exemple), a couple artifact equipement and 2 purple archons. Thats the best stuff i got. I supa ose if you look for legendary mount, you must be prepare to open a 1000 boxes... Thats why personally i get keys only when i have extra diamonds... And i get my VIP of course, not just for the key but praying anywhere without an altar, no injuries, the sign post/mail etc i use them so much i couldn't play now without them.
As for PVP yup thats one of the reason why i never touch it...
As a dude said this game is about the grinding, thats bound to be repetitive. Sometimes like you i wish we could get better rewards tough, but i guess the main point of the game is somehow to make us grind in between expensions to get our character stronger, then when a new expension come out, we can enjoy and discover new content. But after that its back to grinding the same old stuf we always did. I supose building the guild and trying to get the most diamond somehow break a bit the monotony, but thats how the game is designed overall... When you get to 4K you will kinda realize there is nothing much left to do for you... exept continuing building the guild and maybe collecting goodies. Lots of people run multiple characters for that reason.
If it's rare to get a legendary drop from 1000's of lockboxes...what do you think you opening 1 or 2 daily odds are?
RNG is a cruel CRUEL beast...but you will have to increase your odds. Try saving 100 keys and then open boxes all at once. May still get shafted, but you will increase your odds of winning some pretty kewl stuff.
Best of luck

Most times when I run throne or prophecy, I get the ichor seals, etc. Whereas I often times used to get a random blue ring drop, sometimes even a purple +2, now I get nothing dropping at all. Chest- always blue rings. So I get some salvage - lucky me. Demo - ha don't get me started on that. Can never get in most times last three days pointless queuing. At the moment I am doing dailies, cos I am sick of all the random rubbish that I achieve in getting after grinding dungeons, most of the time I spend queuing for and never getting in anyways. I am still stuck at 2.5. It hurts. Every single day. *bangs head against console* someone put me out of my misery. Please. RNG hates me..............

Whether it's correct or incorrect...I typically see more results from lockboxes when I can roll through 100 at a time.
As for getting nothing but trash I am guessing your just not thinking about what your getting. Everything is worth something, sometimes its a matter of making it into something worth more. The only thing I see that is complete trash is that cult of the emblems thing (could it atleast confuse cultists into thinking your one of them for a second or something)
I agree with pvp being whack, could the either make it so you que in with similar ILs (I.E. 2k, 3k, 4k pvp brackets) or make a PVP without guild boons. Leave the guild boon version, but make a seperate que so people can stand by thier IL alone...
But complaining about the grind? isnt that what MMORPGs are for? I cant remember a single one that wasnt designed for the grind.

As far as having 100 tries vs 1... the scenario from what I see was saving your keys for a bulk opening. So if you save 100 of your daily VIP keys over 100 days, you are guaranteed that for 99 days you will get absolutely nothing, 100% chance of zero. Then on the 100th day you open 100 boxes and you are still not guaranteed to get what you want. I saw a post a while back the suggested 1:2000 chance of a legendary item based on a very big box opening party by some wallet warriors.
All in all, VIP seems to be the best value for keys and while I just open a box every day I would like to practice my delayed gratification skills and save up 100 and do it all at once... if only I thought there would be some gratification at the end of it

Perfect example...Bard companion that was available via IGN was going for 4M when it first came to market...after as little as days later it was under 1M, why? Why literally destroy a 3M profit margin, for what? A quick 1M? It's slowly crawling back but it's been several weeks...and that's only listed for almost 2M. We may never see the 4M it was originally placed for because those that severely undercut each other, have destroyed the market.
Unfortunately there are FAR less of those that don't need immediate AD due to poor planning & bad investments trying to keep the AH honest.
I agree I've never gotten a legendary and probably never will never even seen a +5 ring lol
The market is determined by demand and supply. That's basic economics. You don't get to set a price and assume it's the price your market is going to pay.
Perhaps the original price was overvaluated. I've got items I'm waiting to post when the market aligns with what I want. That's just the way it goes. I don't complain because someone else sells low. That's their right in a free market.
It's a fire sale and the smart players are buying. So no, I'm not complaining...just call it a service announcement for those just looking for quick AD or long term wealth.
This economy is so much more complex than most understand. The amount of variables in play is huge. The amount of variables unseen and unforseen is even larger. The later is usually what will dictate a value in the end.
Just don't complain because the do not need something at all, but if they sell it for xxAD then they can go buy the other thing their character really wants.

Folks can do what they want and manage thier toon however they like...I'm no genius. At the end of the day, an item is worth what a person is willing to pay for it. I'm just here to voice my opinion to the 1 or 2 that are interested. I'm looking for nothing but my 5 minutes on a soap box that ended 4 minutes ago.
