Illusionists Gambits garbage loot needs to change

It's simply ridiculous on average to spend 12-15min for a gold run to get a plus 1 comp gear every single time. With over 200+ variants of gear you can get this makes it near extremely difficult to get what your looking for. I understand a grind needs to be involved but this is to far cryptic ffs... Gold completion imo should not even include anything but plus 3-5 comp gear(even though plus 5 is garbage, who wants an overload slot on the comp, wtf were y'all thinking). Even with gold including only plus 3-5 comp gear there's still a large portion of variants yet again to sift through. And why be so stingy about the gear in the first place??!!! The plus 4-5(which is only thing worth running really) is account bound, not like anyone can sell the HAMSTER. Why make it so hard to obtain?! In my little over 100 runs of IG gold runs, I've literally only pulled 3 plus 4s, all garbage, and all defensive. The vast majority of the rest were all plus 1 gear from gold, terrible drop rates. I ask that if the devs even bother to read this feedback that u considering changing your loot system in there in some sort of way for the better. Cause in the current state I'd spend a couple years to get the exact fierce pieces I'm looking for. And maybe throw in another chest that takes epic keys, that'd be dope. Please fix the cancer that is Illusionsists Gambit. Mic drop.

    Pure truth spoken.
    No way i'll farm this skirmish knowing how bad the drop rate is and the gigantic amount of possible stats and type of pet gear.
    After the first run i was already bored.

    Bought +3s from auction house 90k each (ps4)
    I don't care about the def slot as a dps.

    I ran it hard for the first week until I had enough to outfit a pet. the things I got determined which pet I used. lol. so legendary fire. lol. now i"m running one or two here or there and if I get enough to outfit a better pet I will but no sweat off my back if I don't. but ftr I agree. if they don't improve the drop rate they should really really make them unbound so you can at least trade them for what you need.

    This has received an update on PC with the Mod 12 update. I have not looked for the chatter on PC boards to see if the update is what people wanted. From what I've read, it places a min. +1 for Bronze, +2 for Silver, and +3 for Gold runs for the loot table.

    Subjectively, I've gotten and seen a lot more +4 / +5 drops as well. Whereas before I would see one (somebody got in party) every 5-8 runs, now it looks closer to every 2-3 runs. YMMV of course XD

    But farming gold now appears to be a whole lot more reasonable than it was before.

    The price of +3 companion gear is also trending downwards, which is good news for anyone who abhors farming and is willing to settle.

    I finished running Gambit today as I finally got the last piece I wanted (offense sword knot +4 - Heroic, though Bold would be better), and based on the amount of Fleece, it took over 650 runs. I've got bunch of defense Sturdy/Obedient/Defiant +4s, but also at least 1 of each Fierce/Bold/Heroic necks, belts and rings +4, and even Fierce/Heroic +4 and Bold +5 talisman.
    Doing Gambit in the last two weeks was extremely painful with constant crashes.

    If they changed drop rates people will not farm if they get gear. Low drop rates provides the game more replayability.

    @trzebiat#2067 At least now I know talismans exist. I've only ever gotten 2 and they were the wrong stats.

    You know how in normal epic dungeons, when you get to the end and open a chest?
    You have what is probably the single most pointless choice in the game?
    When you are invited to choose between two redundant pieces of gear that in 99.999% of cases get salvaged...

    How about using that same mechanic for IG?
    So you get two pieces of equal stature gear to choose from.

    Or have a key based on River District loot that can open a second chest a la Prophecy and Throne.
